30 Second Chocolate Banana Slice

My favourite recipes are the ones where you chuck in all the ingredients and mix! This is light, fluffy, chocolate-y with a hint of banana, and very very easy to eat!

This is the first recipe I’ve created since finding out I’m pregnant with my 2nd lot of twins as I’ve been feeling sooo sick and uncomfortable this pregnancy (moreso than with the boys!)! Was a quick and easy way to use up the 2 lonely overripe banana’s on my bench!

Choc Chip Candy Cane Cheesecake

This is the ULTIMATE Christmas cheesecake! The candy canes give a beautiful minty taste which is beautifully refreshing on a summers day, and the dark chocolate chips balance out the sweetness of the cheesecake. This is super quick and easy (I LOVE easy recipes) to whip up for the festive season!

* In the photo I used a 25cm wide springform pan. You can use a smaller springform pan i.e. 20cm and the base and filling will be higher/deeper 🙂 ** If you don't like mint, you can omit the candy canes to make a Choc Chip Cheesecake 🙂
