Beds are warm. Mornings are hard. Brioche stuffed with salted cookie butter and pan-fried in brown butter, however, is much harder to ignore. The 15-minute breakfast that out-negotiates your duvet.

Tres leches with one twist: we replaced the evaporated milk with two cans of Olipop Strawberry Vanilla, reduced down to a glossy ruby syrup. The sponge drinks pink, the cake sits overnight, the table goes quiet.

Like that one Vanilla Ice track that lived rent-free in your head all of 1990, this cookie butter is impossible to shake. Salted brown butter, toasted Nilla Wafers, real vanilla bean. One jar. Goodbye, Biscoff

A cast iron skillet full of melted raspberry dark chocolate, topped with torched marshmallow fluff. It takes fifteen minutes, looks like you spent an hour, and disappears faster than anything else on the table.

This is not hot chocolate from a packet. This is a torched marshmallow halo, a Ghirardelli chocolate flag, crushed Oreos on whipped cream, and three layers of premium chocolate poured through the centre. UAE-style, made at home.
