This beautiful fruit tart recipe couldn't be easier to make. Beautifully crisp and golden pastry combined with light, creamy custard and glossy fruits on top. Do vary the fruit topping if you want to – most summer fruits work beautifully. Tala's Performance Crisper 23cm Tart Tin allows the heat to travel right to the surface of the pastry, making beautifully light, golden and crisp tart cases and banishing soggy bottoms forever. We used a food processor to make short work of the rubbing-in process, but you can certainly do it by hand if you want too. Equipment: Food processor (optional)Measuring...

This luscious no-bake dessert is super easy to make, you just need to allow a few hours to allow the torte to set before serving. The classic buttery biscuit base is made with crushed digestive biscuits. You can crush the biscuits by whizzing them in the food processor, or placing in a ziplock bag and bashing them with a rolling pin.   Serve with the torte with fresh fruit –  chopped strawberries or raspberries work beautifully with the creamy decadent chocolate topping.     Ingredients 200g digestive biscuits, finely crushed 75g salted butter, melted 600ml double cream 100g milk chocolate,...

This chocolatey no-bake treat is an absolute cinch to make and will bring friends, family and children so much joy. I like to include a couple of handfuls of mini sugared eggs – no need for precise measures here. You can swap these for anything you like: dried fruit, nuts, mini marshmallows, bashed up chocolate bars… Adding a little oil to the marbled, chocolatey topping keeps it nice and soft. If you don’t like the taste of coconut oil, use sunflower oil instead.     Ingredients For the tiffin: 150g salted butter 1 ½ tbs caster sugar 2 tbs golden...
