These are deconstructed chocolate truffles and if you arrange this nicely on a table, put a few cocktail sticks next to them and let people get stuck in and make their own, I'm telling you, you'll have some excited guests. It's interesting, it's different... read recipe
This pudding is chocolate heaven! The original recipe idea for it came from my mate Ben, the head chef at Monte's. I've changed it round a bit to make it easier to make at home. Melt 125g chocolate with the coffee, then pour into small ice-cube molds and... read recipe
For me (and Italians would kill me for saying this), tiramisù is the coolest trifle in the world. The Venetians don't really have many desserts, but this is a classic. It's usually dead simple and all about the sponge, the coffee and the cream, but I think... read recipe

This chocolate cake is wicked! And even better, you don't need to do any baking. Break the biscuits into small pieces directly into a large bowl. Add the pecans, pistachio nuts and cherries and mix together. Put the rest of the ingredients into a separate... read recipe
Inspired by classic tiramisu, this is a slightly less indulgent version that uses home-made chocolate sponge for the base instead of sponge fingers, and has white chocolate in the mascarpone to add a lovely sweetness. With all that extra chocolate, it's a... read recipe
This hot chocolate is off the scale. It's so simple to make and is much better than that shop-bought stuff you get, which is often full of rubbish and probably hasn't got much chocolate in it anyway. I don't want you to feel cheated, I want you to have the... read recipe
This cake is best made using a food processor, as you can simply add everything and blitz it up together, but you can easily make it by hand if you buy ground almonds and grate the chocolate into the mix. Like most desserts, this isn't exactly the healthiest... read recipe
