Are walnuts supposed to go well with coffee? I’m thinking of making a Black Forest Cake with lots of chocolate and cherry jam filling.

Thanks Mel. I’ve always been intrigued by tiramisu but have never eaten it. I do love coffee though so I’ll give it a go.

Cat ~ Tiramisu is a spongey coffey, chocolatey, creamy cake with a slight hint of alcohol, which of course you can omit if you like. Tradtionally made with marscapone, obv veganised it’s not.

This is the recipe is used.

I think it looks more complicated than it is. But it’s definitly an amazing dessert. It had a strong undertaste so it’s not to everyones liking but if you like coffee you will enjoy it.

I love coffee, but my stomach isn’t too keen, so I was very pleased to discover NoCaff, which I prefer to other coffee substitutes. I make it with hot water and then add Vanilla Rice Milk and sugar. Wicked, but tasty and I can almost pretend I’m drinking a mug of coffee! I haven’t tried it in baking, though…
Sainsburys, eh? I think I’m going to have to toddle along there…. (For the offspring, of course!!!)

I’m not a huge fan of chocolate so my stocking up was for the Easter Bunny to deliver

I had stocked up and then I ate them all. Then I stocked up again and ate them. Looks like I’ll have to stock up in Sainsbury’s and try not to eat them right away.

Its the well known ‘Favorina’ brand!

They are doing small dark chocolate marzipan eggs, large ones and also some of the liquer eggs are suitable. Some aren’t though. They cost from about £1.00 to a £1.30 I think.
