This chocolate slab pie is my go to dessert when I want something impressive without spending all day in the kitchen. The whole thing comes together in just forty five minutes, making it perfect for unexpected guests or lazy weekends. What I love most is how straightforward it is to make, plus hazelnuts add some really wonderful heart healthy fats alongside all that indulgent chocolate. It's the kind of dessert that looks fancy enough to serve at dinner but tastes like pure comfort, and honestly, the fact that it's so quick to prepare means you'll actually make it instead of just thinking about it.

Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan) and grease a 9-inch square tin.
Tip: If using a different tin size, adjust the quantities accordingly.
- 2
To make the nut crumble, combine the nuts and butter in a food processor and pulse until crumbly.
Tip: Be careful not to over-process or it will turn into a paste.
- 3
Press the nut crumble into the base of the tin and bake for 10 minutes.
Tip: Press it down firmly to create an even base.
- 4
Melt the chopped chocolate and condensed milk together in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring until smooth.
Tip: Take care not to let the bowl touch the water.
- 5
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, caster sugar, vanilla extract, and cocoa powder until combined.
Tip: The mixture should become thick and glossy.
- 6
Pour the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and stir until combined.
Tip: The mixture should be smooth and glossy.
- 7
Pour the mixture over the baked nut base and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until just set.

1 Pan Fudge Cake
This fudgy chocolate cake is my go to when I'm short on time but need something decadent. The best part? You mix everything right in one pan, so there's barely any cleanup. I love using cocoa powder in my baking because it's packed with antioxidants and adds such rich flavor without weighing down the cake. The whole thing comes together in just thirty minutes from start to finish, making it perfect for weeknight desserts or unexpected guests. It's simple, delicious, and honestly foolproof.
Peach melba tatin
This is my favorite way to reinvent a classic dessert. By combining the elegance of Peach Melba with a show stopping tatin, you get a dessert that looks fancy but comes together in just over an hour. Peaches are wonderfully low in calories and packed with vitamin C, so you can feel good about indulging. The beauty of this recipe is that most home cooks already have puff pastry in the freezer, making it incredibly practical for unexpected guests. Caramelized peaches paired with tart raspberries and creamy vanilla ice cream create pure magic on the plate.
Lindt Excellence & tahini brownies
These fudgy brownies are my go to when I want something rich and impressive without spending hours in the kitchen. The combination of Lindt chocolate and tahini creates this wonderfully complex flavor that feels fancy but comes together in just an hour. Tahini brings such a lovely nuttiness while adding protein and healthy fats that make these brownies feel a bit more nutritious than your average treat. What I love most is how straightforward the whole process is, even for a novice baker like myself. Just mix, bake, and you've got decadent brownies that taste like you spent far more effort than you actually did.
