Silky vanilla panna cotta set in the fridge, served with a bright raspberry coulis that cuts through the cream. A make-ahead Italian-style dessert that looks far harder than it is.
A dense, silky French-style dark chocolate mousse made by folding airy egg whites into a rich chocolate base. A pinch of salt sharpens the deep cocoa flavor.
A dense, buttery banana cake sweetened with brown sugar and warm cinnamon, with toasted walnuts folded through. Baked in a tin until the crust is deep golden and a skewer comes out clean.
