Sound the (chocolate-coated) trumpets, it’s Easter time once again! A holiday beloved by the young and young at heart, Easter is the perfect time to show off your cooking and baking skills to your loved ones. And with six mouth-watering decadent Easter dessert recipes, you’ll be serving up a showstopper and wowing your guests in no time. 1. Easter egg lava cake With a universally-adored Cadbury Cream Egg at their gooey centre, these individual Easter egg lava cakes will win over chocolate lovers in no time. Their fluffy texture requires the ingredients to be well incorporated, so whip out the paddle attachment on your stand mixture and get beating. Better yet, these luscious cakes have a baking time of just 15 minutes with the Circo Therm® setting – perfect for home cooks who want to make the most of their time with loved ones. 2. Pastiera (rice and ricotta Easter pie) What could be tastier than a pastiera? This gently spiced Italian ricotta and rice cake can easily become the centrepiece of your Easter feast. Best made the day before serving to allow the flavours to infuse, this luscious dessert will free you up to enjoy a festive Easter egg hunt with the little ones. Using the Circo Therm® function on your NEFF oven guarantees that you’ll bake the pastiera to perfection. Allow the pie to cool before dusting with icing sugar, then serve Italian-style with a round of bracing espressos. 3. Easter egg cupcakes Nothing says Easter quite like fluffy iced cupcakes topped with a trio of candied Easter eggs. Whip up the lemon zest-spiked cake batter with your electric mixer, then get the little ones involved to ice and decorate. Baking at 160ºC on Circo Therm® for 15-20 minutes ensures a deliciously light texture. Need to check on the cupcakes while they’re baking? Using a NEFF Slide & Hide® oven for baking these cupcakes allows you to easily do a skewer test without awkwardly bending over an oven door. While the cupcakes are baking away, toss the shredded coconut with green food colouring to form a festive base for those scrummy Easter egg toppers. 4. Easter egg mille feuille This simple mille feuille recipe elevates the classic French pastry into a stunning Easter dessert. Our secret? Cutting the ready-rolled puff pastry into Easter egg shapes before baking. Another secret is using the Bread Baking and Added Steam functions when baking the pastry – the result of golden, flaky pastry that isn’t dried out. We replace the traditional crème patisserie filling with layers of thick double cream and sliced fresh strawberries for ease, then top the lot with a mixture of dark and white chocolate. Kids will love decorating this final iced pastry layer, ensuring this decadent Easter dessert recipe is one the whole family will enjoy. 5. Hot Cross Bun Bread and Butter Pudding Got some leftover hot cross buns? Then it’s time to transform into an indulgent and delectable hot cross bun bread and butter pudding. This family-friendly Easter recipe will have the whole family running into the kitchen on Easter Sunday (or whenever you bake this tasty dessert!). Baking this Easter-themed bread and butter pudding with the Circo Therm® setting ensures the buns keep their shape while being incredibly soft and scrumptious. 6. Crème Egg Tart We’ve taken a beloved Creme Egg and transformed it into a magnificent Easter dessert – an eye-catching and delightful Creme Egg tart. Don’t let the photo scare you away – this dessert is actually quite easy to make. And no need to worry about any crumbling pastry – the Circo Therm® function on your NEFF oven creates a golden pastry that will be strong enough to hold that delicious custard centre and those gooey crème eggs. Trust us when we say, this one is not for the faint-hearted. So go forth and create these decadent Easter dessert recipes now! Your nearest and dearest will be forever grateful.

Place all the flour, sugar, yeast, salt, spice mix, egg and water into a mixer. Knead with a dough hook on high speed. Once the mix has come together add the diced butter one at a time until everything is combined. The whole kneading process should take around 10 minutes. Finally add all the fruit then mix for another minute or until combined. Spray the inside of a medium plastic or stainless steel bowl with oil and then add the dough. Place the bowl in the oven, select the Dough prove function and set the time to 1hr. Prove dough for the allotted time or until the dough has doubled in size. While dough is proving make the paste for the crosses. Mix the plain flour and water to make a paste, then place into a piping bag. Line universal tray with baking paper. Once the dough has proved, knock the air out of it and cut into 12 portions, shape into buns and place on the prepared tray and pipe on the crosses. Select the Dough Prove function and prove for another 30 minutes. When the time has finished leave the buns in the oven. Change the function to CircoTherm® at 190⁰C and cook the buns for 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Once cooked, remove the buns from the oven and allow to cool for 30 minutes before serving. Note Dough should be a little sticky when kneading to ensure a soft and fluffy hot cross bun. If Vario Steam is available, add medium level of steam when baking the buns.

What can you splurge on? Benchtops Your kitchen benchtop can easily be one of the most-used elements of your newly renovated kitchen. So, investing in a durable and practical benchtop that suits your space is a must. And while materials such as stone might cost more, their tough nature and style will add practicality and aesthetics to your kitchen. You can also customise your benchtop to suit your kitchen to make the most of your space. Dishwasher A good-quality, reliable dishwasher is essential for any kitchen renovation design. They can be the difference between a quick clean-up at mealtime and spending extra hours in the kitchen. Picking a dishwasher with a good rating and functions like NEFF’s Vario Speed, the speed on demand function that is a perfect time saver, enables you to spend more time on important things, like cooking. NEFF’s range of fully-integrated, semi-integrated and built-under dishwashers also have helpful inclusions like Door Open Sensor, which lets you push the door to gently open, or Silent Drive, which reduces the noise your dishwasher makes for extra quiet operation. Oven If you love cooking a Sunday roast or baking up a storm (hello chocolate cookies!), a top-quality oven is an appliance worth your investment. There are different types of ovens out there, so it’s a good idea to think about the size and type of oven you will need based on what you like to cook. Are you someone with a high level or cooking? Or are you more of a recreational baker? The NEFF built-in double oven combines functionality with space and allows you to cook different meals at the same time, meaning you can have dinner and desert baking away in unison. Our popular Slide & Hide® oven makes retrieving your cooking easier with its fully retractable door that slides under the cavity and out of your way. And the NEFF steam oven range with Full Steam can elevate your cooking experience by adding moisture to food that is prone to dry out, such as salmon. If you’re really looking to splurge, take a look at NEFF’s Home Connect products, including ovens, which use WIFI connectivity and the latest technology to give you a smarter cooking experience. These appliances are managed via the Home Connect app and controlled from your smartphone or tablet. Want to see these appliances in action? Then you can book in a free NEFF demonstration. Our NEFF kitchen experts can help you find the oven that’s right for your cooking needs. Overall layout It can be easy to get caught up in choosing the appliances you want – but making sure your kitchen layout is practical and well planned is one of the most important things to spend money on. Take your time and consult an expert if needed to make your kitchen the best it can be. What can you save on? Microwave If you’re someone who prefers to cook with an oven or stovetop, a microwave might not be high on your priority list. Choosing a cheaper microwave could help save on costs. If it’s space you’re wanting to capitalise on, consider hybrid appliances – like the NEFF built-in compact oven with microwave function, which gives you two appliances in one. Cabinetry The cabinetry in a kitchen is important, but it can also be expensive. See if you can save on costs by upcyclying old material or sourcing items from second-hand dealers. Social media groups and curbside pickups can also be a goldmine, with many people selling old items for cheap or giving them away for free. And a fresh coat of paint can do wonders in transforming a cupboard from old to new and can add character with high gloss, matt and distressed finishes. You can also cut down on costs by having a go at the task yourself, reducing the need to hire tradespeople. Lighting Lighting in a kitchen doesn’t have to be flashy, but it does have to be practical. By installing ample lighting above your key cooking stations – your preparation bench, cooktop and sink – you will ensure your kitchen is functional at all hours of the day. You should also consider purchasing LEDs and CFLs globes, as they are the most energy efficient types of lighting and will serve you better in the long run. Kitchen lighting doesn’t have to be expensive, but making sure the lights themselves are in a useful position will allow you more time to concentrate on what’s important: food. If you’re looking for other items to save or splurge on, consider the type and quality of your flooring, splashback, pantry size and storage space. These areas can all be tailored to meet budget requirements with options for high and lower-quality products available.
