Limoncello Coolers

The original recipe from Giada's show uses Blueberries, but then you could always use any fruit you like, as long as you freeze them before hand.
I used Strawberries and skipped the mint because I'm not a fan!
They're really easy to make and look pretty fancy! :)

I used my crackled champagne flutes from Pier 1 to serve these!



Chocolate Cake

I found this recipe on the Food Network website, and it's really, really chocolately! The cake doesn't rise much, but it's really dense and sort of like a devil's food cake. So if it's for a birthday, I make 2 of them and layer it with some chocolate frosting/ ganache in between. It tastes really nice with strawberries too!

Strawberry Muffins

 This is my all time favourite muffin recipe, that's super easy and really quick!

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour

3 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup white sugar

1 egg

1 cup milk

1/4 cup butter 

1 teaspoon vanilla essence

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 F (205 C)

2. Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl. In another bowl, whisk the egg and stir in the milk, butter and vanilla. Once combined, add the entire mixture to the dry ingredients and mix quickly and gently with a fork. Don't worry if the batter is lumpy.

3. Add chopped strawberries and mix gently. 

4. Pour into paper lined muffin cups.

5. Bake for 25 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. 

You could always use any other fruit or even cheese/ bacon/ ham for savoury muffins.
