Fruit Mince Pie

If you love fruit mince pie but don’t love fiddly little tarts, this one’s for you. Everything gets baked together in a pan for a more relaxed, rustic take on the classic.

Baking it as one large pie makes it both practical and visually striking, while the flavours develop beautifully over time.

The filling is packed with dried fruit, citrus zest and warming spices, and that crunchy sugar-dusted pastry edge is so good. Minimal effort, maximum reward.

Apricot & Cardamom Tiramisu

Classic tiramisu with a twist. A cardamom-spiked coffee soak and a layer of tangy apricot fruit spread both add unexpected brightness and depth to this timeless dessert.

I’ve used apricot fruit spread here, but plum, black cherry, or fig would be just as beautiful. Feel free to experiment with different flavours to create something new.

Easy Fresh Blueberry Tart

This might be the easiest dessert you make all year.

Store-bought puff pastry, sprinkled with raw sugar and almonds, gets baked until golden and flaky, then topped with vanilla mascarpone cream and an abundance of blueberries.

It's light, bright, and a beautiful seasonal dessert that comes together quickly but feels special enough for any occasion.
