Chocolate Mousse with Raspberry

Chocolate is comforting, smooth & rich.

Chocolate mousse is one of my favourite dessert, simple yet infinitely possibilities in baking.

I love chocolate with raspberry, the tangy freshness matches the dark richness which bring out the sweetness of dark chocolate.

Lychee & White Wine Mousse Cake

Mid-Autumn Festival fell on 12th Sept this year, sadly it's Monday.

So we had a pre-celebration on the day before.

I attempted to make mooncakes last year but it wasn't very successful, so I didn't think of taking that challenge.

Instead I decided to make a mousse cake with lychee & white wine.

I love lychee so when I came across the idea of using lychee & white wine, I was thrilled not the try it.

Even though I like to use wines & spirits in baking, I don't like the bitterness of alcohols.

So I decided to create my own recipe.

Crème Caramel au Calvados

On a Saturday, I was craving for custard puddings, so I made some simple yet yummy crème caramel.

The first batch I made was with rose syrup, so I didn't use vanilla to avoid it overtaking the rose fragrance, instead I'd used Calvados which is an apple brandy.
