White chocolate FRUIT TART Preparation time 30 mins plus 30 mins cooling and 1 hour chilling Cooking time 10 mins Serves 8-10 Cooking oil spray, to grease 250g packet butternut snap biscuits, broken 125g unsalted butter, melted ½ cup shredded coconut ¼ cup plain flour 1 mango, seeded, sliced, to serve Pulp of 2 passionfruit, to serve Toasted coconut flakes, to garnish Mint leaves, to garnish Filling 225g packet white chocolate melts 1 cup thickened cream chocolate mixture with an electric hand beater, until light and creamy. STEP 4 Dollop filling into biscuit case and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Arrange mango on top, and drizzle over passionfruit pulp. Garnish with coconut flakes and mint. STEP 1 Preheat oven to 160 C fan-forced (180 C conventional). Grease a 26cm wide and 4cm deep heart-shaped ring tin with cooking oil spray. Line base and side with baking paper (see Cook s tips). STEP 2 Pulse biscuits to fine crumbs in a food processor. Add butter, coconut and flour and pulse to combine. Press firmly over base and up sides of tin, including centre heart. Place on oven tray. Bake for 10 minutes. Cool for 30 minutes or until at room temperature. Freeze for 15 minutes or until very solid. Remove from tin and transfer to a tray. Refrigerate. STEP 3 To make filling, put chocolate in a large bowl. Heat ½ cup cream in a small saucepan until boiling then pour over chocolate, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool completely. Gradually beat the remaining cream into COOK S TIPS You can use orange segments instead of mango, as the flavour will also pair well with the passionfruit and coconut combination. Use strips of baking paper to line tin, overhanging for ease of removal. Toasted flaked coconut is available pre-toasted in supermarkets and health food stores. Look for the lightly salted option if you d like to add a touch of saltiness to your dessert. Freezing the tart shells allows for easy removal from the tin, as the biscuit shell will be nice and solid. STEP 4 12 BHG MAY 2018

Confetti cake WITH HIDDEN CENTRE COOK S TIPS As the cake stands at room temperature, the chocolate freckle will soften slightly, allowing for easy cutting. You can buy 60g packets of edible sprinkles. One of those will be enough to decorate the cake and make the freckle. Instead of confetti sprinkles, you can also use 100 s and 1000 s to decorate the freckle and the side of the cake. Preparation time 30 mins plus 15 mins cooling and 15 mins chilling Cooking time 1 hour 20 mins Serves 12 Cooking oil spray, to grease 250g unsalted butter, chopped, at room temperature 1½ cups caster sugar 2 tsp vanilla essence 4 free-range eggs 4 cups self-raising flour, sifted 1 1 /3 cups milk 4 Tbsp 100 s and 1000 s Edible pastel confetti sprinkles, to decorate 145g packet mini M&M s Chocolate freckle ½ cup white chocolate melts, melted 1 Tbsp confetti sprinkles Buttercream frosting 175g butter, softened ½ tsp vanilla essence 2¼ cups icing sugar mixture 1-1½ Tbsp milk STEP 1 Preheat oven to 180 C fan-forced (200 C conventional).

Cool in pan for 15 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely. STEP 6 Wash and dry tin, then re-grease. Repeat steps 1 to 5 to make another cake.
