Junior chefs will love this delectable treat because they can make it on their own (though an adult should lend a hand when cooking the raspberry purée). Everyone will delight in the summery taste and silky smooth texture of the filling. The key to beautiful, even swirls is to patiently spoon alternating dollops of the lemon and raspberry batters over the crust.
This swirl-topped cheesecake looks very impressive at the table. But don't be intimidated by it. Because the two batters have very similar textures, they swirl together with ease. For an elegant finish, garnish each serving with a dollop of whipped cream and a whole hazelnut or a hazelnut wafer cookie.

These precious little sandwich cookies are as delicious as they are pretty. It may seem like a lot of rose water in the filling, but don't worry – it only adds a hint of floral flavour. Be sure to add the liquid to the icing slowly and gradually so that it doesn't separate. Use a pretty fluted cookie cutter to make these stand out on your cookie tray.
Our delicate, buttery sugar cookies partner deliciously with the sticky jam filling in these classic British favourites.
