White Chocolate Cheesecake
Being a cheesecake lover, I always choose it as a dessert whenever I spot it on a menu. Over the past few months, I’ve been making my own version at home, and I must say, it’s divine. Cheesecake is one of the easy chocolate desserts you can make at home, and you can’t go wrong. Replace the traditional biscuit base with crumbled brownies, use Santa Barbara white chocolate for a creamy base, and top with bright, zesty raspberries. This version of cheesecake is a treat that everyone will love.
Hot Fudge Chocolate Brownie
This old classic has played a starring role in dessert menus for decades because chocolate brownies never go out of style! There’s something dreamy about the rich, gooey, stick to the roof of your mouth brownies that keeps us coming back for more. You can make your chocolate fudge brownies even gooier when you choose Santa Barbara’s dark chocolate chips. Why not serve straight from the oven with a generous dollop of cream or even some fragrant Madagascan vanilla ice-cream!
Homemade Chocolate Ice-cream
Everyone loves ice-cream and the beauty of making it at home is that you get to experiment with all kinds of flavors. From chocolate truffle ice cream to chocolate chunk ice cream you can even select your favorite chocolate candy bars and chop them up to go in the mix. Homemade ice cream is very different to store bought and you can make it luxurious by choosing the highest quality ingredients, think Santa Barbara organic chocolate and thick jersey style double cream.
Chocolate and Whiskey Cake
For the birthday boy or girl who may be a little old for candles, why not whip up this naughty but nice chocolate and whisky cake? To keep the cake moist, replace butter with oil and add a generous splash of whiskey to bring out the rich flavor of the cake. This top chocolate dessert will be a hit at any celebration, offering a bold twist on traditional chocolate cakes.
Chocolates Chip Cookies
Not exactly a dessert but more a sneaky little treat, chocolate chip cookies are heaven sent and you should always have a freshly baked batch at home. You can be adventurous with your choc chip cookies by throwing in handfuls of dry fruit, nuts, white chocolate, dark chocolate and just about anything else you can imagine. I love gooey and soft choc chip cookies made with Santa Barbara’s dark chocolate chips, pomegranates and oats for a little extra chew.
