Dessert – Cooking with Charles

Chocolate Cake with Swiss Meringue Accents

A recipe from Chef Dominique Ansel (Inventor of the Cronut, James Beard award-winning pastry chef). This recipe is available on Masterclass.

Matcha Creme Caramel

A throwback to a previous Christmas when we hosted my wife’s family for dinner. For dessert, we served matcha Creme caramel with spun sugar which was a huge hit.

Matcha Glazed Cronut

Matcha glazed cronut. So fluffy, buttery and delicious. An adaption from Dominique Ansel’s croissant recipe which I deep fried.

Ultra Moist Banana Bread

What to do with a half dozen overripened bananas? Make banana bread is what.

Classic Blueberry Tart

Made from scratch blueberry custard tart. Buttery crust, homemade blueberry jam and custard. Recipe by Dominique Ansel (the inventor of the Cronut).

Classic French Madeleines

Melt in your mouth light and fluffy on the inside while golden crispy on the outside. Normally a 12 hour wait time, but my wife couldn’t wait.
