Christmas Wrapping

This year I've decided to be a bit more creative with my Christmas wrapping, and have been making pom poms, instead of the traditional paper bow. Of course, couldn't resist the Hello Kitty tags I found at Sainsbury's!

I will add another post soon on how I made my pom poms.

Very excited for Christmas now!

Cheesecake Brownies

This is a recipe I got from Domestic Sluttery, so easy and SOOO delicious!


Ingredients:

Brownie

170g chocolate
3 eggs
100g butter
200g sugar
100g plain flour
1 tbsp cocoa powder
pinch of salt
1tsp vanilla essence
100g chocolate chips

Cheesecake

200g ricotta
1 egg yolk
75g sugar
vanilla essence

Preheat oven to 180 degrees.

Melt the chocolate and butter together, until smooth


Beat in the sugar and the eggs

Sift in the flour and cocoa powder

Add a pinch of salt

A teaspoon of vanilla essence

All the chocolate chips and mix till smooth. Pour into a baking tray lined with tin foil and lightly greased.

In a seperate bowl, add all cheesecake ingredients and mix till smooth.

Add the cheesecake mixture to the brownie mixture and swirl to create a marble effect. Whack in the oven for about 35 minutes.

Leave to cool and then cut into squares.


  Unfortuntaely they all got eaten before I could get a photo of them cut up. They were so delicious though, we ate them as they are and also warmed them up served with custard. Totals delish.

Mon Chéri. Oui!

A couple of weeks ago, 2 of my girlfriends and I spent a weekend in Paris. We left St. Pancras on Thursday morning and arrived in Paris a couple of hours later. We had an awesome time, saw loads and spent a day at Disneyland. We had a tiny cosy studio flat, which was in the Trocadero area, so every morning we were greeted by the Eiffel Tower, which was fantastic.  We also went to see Breaking Dawn on the Champs Elysees, best Twilight yet!
