Dessert
Italian Lemon Ricotta Cheesecake with Blackberry Coulis
An Italian cheesecake is typically made with ricotta cheese. It is not overly sweet and slightly drier than a traditional cheesecake. This cake is best made the day before you want to serve it. The Blackberry Coulis really adds a nice touch. You can use frozen raspberries if you can find blackberries.

Wildberry Pie Oat Bars
I really do love anything berry but especially when they come guilt free. These decadent bars are refined sugar-free, gluten-free, vegan and incredibly delicious. They are not too sweet, just the way I like them and a great power snack. Feel free to make just blueberry or raspberry bars by subbing frozen or fresh raspberries or blueberries.

Tres Leches Cake
Tres leches, meaning three milks (sweet condensed milk, evaporated and cream) is probably my guiltiest food pleasure! I cannot get enough of this cake. You just need to remember to soak this cake in the milks one day ahead of serving it. It gets better as it sits, even a few days later, trust me, you will be digging the spoon into it as it sits in the fridge!

Torta Caprese - Flourless Chocolate Almond Cake
This is one of my favourite cakes. The denseness of the almond flour combined with the creamy chocolate makes the cake smooth and moist and extremely forgiving!

his is a perfect fast and easy dessert when you want something delicious and to impress. Normally I like to make my own Pâte Brisée dough but lets face it, sometimes we need to cheat a little and still come through!

Sticky Toffee Pudding
If you have never had a true British sticky toffee pudding, you are in for a treat. It is a very popular dish in Quebec and I grew up eating this. This recipe is adapted from Nigella Lawson.
