Valentines Chocolate Mousse – a healthy spin


January 31, 2015

With Valentines Day just around the corner what better dessert is there to share with your special someone than decadent Chocolate Mousse and today I have the most amazing “healthy” chocolate mousse to share with you.

It is so easy to change a few ingredients around from the traditional chocolate mousse – pipe the mixture into your glass jar – add your strawberry on top and you have a dessert that looks just like the traditional mousse but it is way better for you!

This  recipe was shared with me by my lovely nutritionalist Simone Kopkas from Health Wholistically. The mousse below was created by Dewi from Sweet Bloom Cakes and photographed by me! Enjoy!

Cold Pressed Spring Cocktail


September 25, 2014

I am sure you are wondering what was served for drinks at our wedding brunch and this great drink idea came after Lisa looked into mixing cold pressed juices with spirits to make cocktails or ‘juice tails’ as they are being dubbed.

Apple always works well as a cocktail flavour and this mix is perfect for a brunch celebration.  To see a selection of pressed juices visit the Pressed Juice Website here.

Don’t forget to look back at our weeks worth of Wedding Brunch Posts for more recipe ideas and to see the amazing selection of stands, pedestals and bowls from Pretty Pedestals.  By leaving a comment on any post this week you can go in the draw to win the $200 prize of a hire voucher from Pretty Pedestals.  To see all the details visit the post here.  The gorgeous punch bowl is one of the great pieces from Lisa’s collection.
