Mini Mango Coconut Tarts

It was horror film night again last night, and – surprise! – I baked something. Only a little something though, quite literally:

Mini Mango Coconut Tarts

I saw the tiny coconut tarts on this blog. So I made a batch because they were so simple to make and because I had all the ingredients at home anyway and because I felt like it and because full stop.

The two main changes: the mango instead of the strawberries, and I used regular butter plus 2 tbsp icing sugar instead of the coconut butter. Not sure I can get coconut butter here anyway… The mango cream was nice but I have a few other ideas for toppings which I will have to toy with.

But all in all, the teeny-weeny tarts are lovely – and made in no time! And they’re the ideal size for snacking while watching people get eaten by possessed would-be zombies on an oversized screen because your friends are technology geeks. :)

 

 

 

 

Seriously white-chocolatey White Chocolate & Plum Cake

You know you’ve done something right when your favourite cake tester takes a bite and says, “Now that’s a rich cake.” :)

Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you: my seriously white-chocolatey white chocolate & plum cake!

I’ve adapted a recipe from the BBC Good Food website for this one. They call it cheesecake but I’d say that’s a lie. Anyway, it’s lovely and (you wouldn’t guess from the name I gave the cake!) seriously white-chocolatey. I’m almost entirely happy with the way the decoration turned out, too. Definitely making this one again.
