Easter Chocolate Roulade
The decision to make this for dessert was easy: as a Greek, I always take advantage of the Easter chocolates that go on sale after regular Easter (usually Orthodox Easter follows).
Phyllo Flutes with Halva
Enter sesame Halva, made of sesame paste (tahini) and sweetened with sugar or honey, this has become a go-to sweet for those fasting in the lead-up to Easter.
Paximadia with Carob, Hazelnut & Cranberry
Carob is much like cocoa powder and if someone is allergic to cocoa then carob is your go-to ingredient.
Moist Olive Oil Chocolate Cake
When chocolate hits the Mediterranean, we’re gonna shake things up a bit. This cake uses green gold…you know, Greek extra-virgin olive oil to offer you moist, easy to prepare chocolate cake.
Vasilopita French Toast
Vasilopita is also known as St. Basil’s Day Cake/Pie, served on January 1st with a coin hidden inside.

One of my favourite breakfast (or brunch) items has to be Cinnamon Rolls.
Melomakarona Cheesecake in a Glass
Here’s another inventive way to use up some of your Melomakarona cookies (buy or make more if you don’t have any left).
Newfoundland Snowballs
The base of these treats is milk, sugar, butter, oats, cocoa and coconut. That’s it!
Lemon Brulee
Lighter desserts like this are ideal after having a heavier meal, something likely to happen during the Christmas holidays.
Classic Creme Brulee
Creme Brulee has to be one of the easiest and most satisfying desserts.
