Molten lava cupcakes

 
I've always think it's beautiful how chocolate oozes out of a chocolate molten lava cakes.
I don't have enough ramekins so I thought baking them in cupcakes I might get similar results, in fact this was better than expected.
Small and dainty, it was perfect for me!
It's so easy to put together as I always like simple recipes and something fuss free!
This can be made all in 30 minutes if you have everything ready.
You can get 6 mini size molten lava cupcakes out of this recipe but if you like a larger size just double up the ingredients and bake for longer.

Lychee Cheesecake (non bake)

 
 
 Lychee cheesecake, I put this together after having a huge hit with my peach cheesecake by my readers. I used tin Lychees in syrup but I find them quite sweet so I used less icing sugar in this recipe compared to the peach cheesecake, using only 1 tbsp of lemon juice for a less sharp citrus taste as I didn't want it to overpower the flavour of the lychees.  This works really well and the gelatine used is the perfect amount to hold it together as a cheesecake.  I added berries for the decorations as Lychees are so pale and white.  Giving it some red and blue colours makes this cheesecake look more attractive.
Don't you think?
