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.

Just mix, bake, and you've got decadent brownies that taste like you spent far more effort than you actually did.
Swiss meringue buttercream
Swiss meringue buttercream is hands down my favorite frosting, and I'm thrilled to share it with you. This silky smooth topping is more stable than American buttercream, so it holds up beautifully on cakes even in warmer weather. The egg whites bring wonderful protein to the mix, making it feel a bit more nutritious than your typical frosting. Best part? Once you master the technique, you can whip this up in under an hour and a half with ingredients you probably already have at home. It's truly become my go to for every celebration.

My mum Martha taught me this recipe years ago, and it's become my go to for weekend breakfasts.
