Cornflake Crunch + Bake My Vanilla Cake With Me 🎂

Published 13 days ago • 1 min read

hi there Reader

cornflake crunch

If you follow along on Instagram, you would have seen that I have been making these crunchy little morsels ALL WEEK LONG.

I just hit publish on my new 5 ingredient recipe for Cornflake Crunch. Soaked in honey, butter and brown sugar, these little golden flakes are then caramelised in the oven until they smell toasty.

This recipe was inspired by two things: America's Milk Bar Bakery and the delicious treats I grew up with in Australia called Honey Joys.

A few years ago, I attended a cooking class at Milk Bar Bakery in Los Angeles and I also had the pleasure of visiting Milk Bar Store in New York (the og). It was there I tried their famous soft serve which is served with - you guessed it - sweet, crunchy caramelised Cornflakes.

The Cornflake Crunch on her soft serve reminded me of a classic Honey Joy. Last year, I tested an elevated Honey Joy Slice recipe which can be found on page 145 of my new cookbook, Something Sweet.

So all that to say, I’ve now used that inspiration to create my own easy copycat recipe for Cornflake Crunch that you can make at home.

You can throw it into your favourite cookie dough, use it to decorate cakes, cupcakes or brownies, or scatter it over a bowl of vanilla ice cream. Trust me, you'll be making this over and over again.

Strawberries and Cream Cookies by Jessica Holmes

hi there Reader strawberries & cream cookies When I was dreaming up a new cookie recipe to add to our Cookie Collection, I couldn’t stop thinking about berries. I landed on creating a beautiful Strawberries And Cream Cookie from scratch. So I conducted a cookie experiment, making the same cookie dough three times – but one with fresh berries, one with frozen berries and one with freeze-dried berries. L to R: Fresh berries, frozen berries and freeze-dried berries. The truth is, they all...

Homemade Cheese Scones

hi there Reader cheese scones Remember when I went to New Zealand two months ago? I ate my weight in cheese scones over there just so I could come home and recreate a fantastic Cheese Scone recipe for you. You Are Welcome. Well I've done it. It's finally here. And it does NOT disappoint. Just like the ones I had in NZ, these small but tall scones are filled with flaky layers and feature a crispy cheesy top. And remember how we learnt with my Buttermilk Scone recipe that a good homemade scone...
