It’s the first of July tomorrow so I guess that means we are already half way through 2017. Somehow. The super sunny weather may seem like a distant memory, but I’ve got you covered with the summeriest soft drink around – my gorgeous peach lemonade. Because seriously, what’s more sunshiny than sweet juicy peaches and…
No Bake Recipes
Sometimes you just want to do some baking without, well, having to actually bake anything. These are the recipes for you! Usually involving some chilling, these aren't the quickest, but hey, at least you don't have to worry about burning anything.
Chocolate Peanut Brittle
We might be off sunning ourselves at Centre Parcs, but that doesn’t mean that you don’t get a second recipe this week. If there’s one thing I’m dedicated to, it’s baking. I made this chocolate peanut brittle last Friday night, even if it was wayyyyyy too hot to be stuck in a tiny little kitchen…
White Chocolate Sunset Bark
I’m bringing you summer in a big way today – just look at this simply gorgeous white chocolate sunset bark! Is it a tropical sunset, or just some yummy white chocolate with food colouring and sprinkles? Who even knows. ???❤️❤️❤️??? Major love for this stuff. White chocolate is my new fave. Although this stuff is…
Mint Limeade
Something a little bit different for you today – I don’t think there’s ever been a drink recipe posted on What Charlotte Baked before, although please do correct me if I’m wrong! Let’s start our foray into drinks with a high, and you can’t get much higher than Mint Limeade, right? Made with fresh limes…
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Fudge
Oh candy, my old friend. It’s been too long. The last time we had fudge around here was last Easter, so I wanted to come back with my fudge-game strong. And this Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Fudge is about as good as fudge gets, in my opinion. How many times can I use the word…
Raspberry Lemonade & Lime Ginger Dessert Shots
Incredibly easy dessert alert! These gorgeous dessert shots pretty much make themselves, and are the perfect way to finish a dinner party. Because who doesn’t love mini desserts? Have one (or three) of each! I’ve got two flavours for you today. If you want something a little sweeter, then raspberry lemonade is right up your…
Pink Lemonade Curd
Summer’s well and truly here now guys – Kate’s even swapped the winter duvet for the summer one. And to celebrate let’s get cooking up some pink lemonade curd. Zesty lemons and tangy raspberries come together to create something a little bit special. And it’s totally do-able for anyone. Yes, even you! This isn’t the…
How to Make Super White Buttercream
It’s no surprise that buttercream contains butter. And butter is yellow. So, you’re never going to get it stark white like you could with other (less tasty) frostings. But, there are a few tips and tricks I can show you to get it your buttercream as white as possible, depending on how far you’re willing…
Homemade Lime Curd
This past weekend was pretty much summer here in the UK, and of course that meant that everyone ventured out and about for picnics and barbecues in the park. I did manage to get in the kitchen and throw together a couple of things – the salted caramel banana bread I shared with you earlier in…
Creme Egg Cheesecake (No Bake)
It’s time for my big Easter recipe of the year, and I think you’ll agree I’ve gone all-out with this multi-layer Creme Egg Cheesecake extravaganza*. Full disclosure – this one’s got a lot of steps, and you are going to need about 5 different bowls to make it, but it definitely wows. And it’s not…
Mars Bar Cakes
Today I’m sharing with you what is quite possibly the easiest yet scrummiest bake around – Mars Bar Cakes. More exciting than your usual marshmallow squares, these will definitely be the hit of your kid’s birthday party (apart from Jelly cubes though, am I right?) or office charity bake sale. Everyone loves Rice Krispie treats!…
Churros with Chocolate Peanut Butter Sauce
This week on the Great British Bake Off we were faced with, quite possibly, the weirdest challenge of all time – batter week. Yep, all the bakes this week involved various forms of batter, including filled Yorkshire puddings, weird lacy pancakes, and traditional Spanish churros. I pretty much hate anything made from batter. The word ‘batter’…
Champagne Truffle Ice Cream
I’ve been making a whole load of ice cream lately – there was this lemon ripple ice cream from a few weeks ago, as well as the pistachio ice cream that apparently never actually made it to the blog. Maybe it was just too tasty? Or maybe I just didn’t have the light or time…
Mojito Ice Lollies
After killing it with my Peach Raspberry Ice Lollies a few weeks ago, I thought it only fitting to give my specially imported ice lolly moulds another go. And this time I went boozy. I’m pretty sure Mojitos are everyone’s favourite cocktail. They went down a storm at our recent wedding after all. And you are…
Lemon Ripple Ice Cream
… that doesn’t really look all that ripply. Apologies. I put plenty of sprinkles on it though, does that count? The supposed ripples in this homemade lemon ice cream come in the form of lots of tangy lemon curd. My lemon curd came from a jar, but bonus points if you make your own. I’ve…
Peach Raspberry Ice Lollies
Summer is here at last! Well, at least for the weekend anyway. Is there any better way to enjoy the weekend than by spending it in our tiny little kitchen, slaving away over a stand-mixer, and making the world’s most hideous tasting chocolate cake? Yes, most definitely. On the plus side, I did manage to…
Edible Raw Cookie Dough (Egg Free)
UPDATED – After a helpful reader pointed out the potential risks of eating raw flour, please see the note at the bottom of the recipe if you want to bake your flour before using it in the dough. Today’s recipe is a bit of a weird one. It’s just cookie dough. One of the best…
Limoncello Truffles
Today I’m bringing you the recipe for the limoncello truffles I sent my Mum this weekend – or Mom as I call her…she loves it really 🙂 In case you hadn’t noticed, I quite like making truffles. They are easy to throw together if you follow a few simple rules, and the flavour combinations are…
Chocolate & Peanut Butter Easter Nests
Everyone knows how to make Easter nests, don’t they. You crush up some Shredded Wheat, add some melted chocolate, and you’re pretty much done. Today’s recipe doesn’t mess with perfection too much, and instead just adds some peanut butter into the mix, as well as some beautiful golden caramel eggs. Salty, sweet, and pretty as…
White Chocolate Creme Egg Fudge
We are properly into March now, and that means I am going to be stepping up the Easter treats for the next few weeks. Of course that also means I’ve got plenty more chocolate coming your way, as well as the recipes for the Mother’s Day treats I sent my Mum. Can’t spill the beans…
Chocolate and Peanut Butter Bars
Peanut butter, chocolate, and cookies. Surely it doesn’t get any better than that? Well, let me introduce you to my chocolate and peanut butter bars. In case you guys hadn’t noticed, I really like baking. But what I really love is baking things for Katie. And I have never had such an amazing reception from her…
Coconut Ice
Morning all. This is my ‘Valentine’s Day’ recipe – the ever-so unromantic Coconut Ice. I decided to make something pink, because pink = love, right? But then I went and coloured them peach. Top marks for me. I’m trying to rebuild my relationship with the peach food colouring I bought to make the peach disaster…
Champagne Truffles
I’t’s my birthday in two days! So bring on the champagne truffles 🙂 Champagne truffles are my number one favourite fancy chocolate. One day Katie and I will have to move out and live in a cardboard box due to my Hotel Chocolat champagne truffle addiction. And it’s pretty cold in the UK. To save…
Ferrero Rocher Truffles
I’ve almost finished my Christmas stash of Ferrero Rocher chocolates 🙁 Oh well, only one thing to do – make some of these delicious Ferrero Rocher truffles to keep me going all the way through January. Those gold Nutella-filled chocolates have always been my favourite. And every Christmas I will attempt to eat my…
