What would life be without chocolate?

There are days when we crave something chocolaty, and days we feel a little peckish. Then there are times when we simply need something #EPIC to indulge in. But whatever our craving, desserts somehow always play a part in making everything great again. So, whether you’ve had a bad day, celebrating or simply feeling ‘blah’, just indulge a little! We’ve rounded up some of the best desserts – from guilt-free indulgences, to simply decadent and unique concoctions that you should add to your must-try list. Read on and drool at your own risk!

When you’re craving guilt-free decadence


Fruits in cakes or pastries are not a new thing, but we bet you’ve never had avocados in them! This is just genius because an avocado adds to the richness and creamy texture of desserts, has a subtle flavour, and it’s got a lot of health benefits. Win-win, right?   

1. Chocolate Avocado Cake from All The Batter




You won’t feel guilty about having an extra slice of this!

Who knew that avocado and chocolate would be a match made in chocolate-lovers’ paradise? We promise that each layer of this cake is blissfully chocolaty. You’ve got a luscious avocado-dark-chocolate-fudge layer speckled with chocolate chips, sandwiched between two fluffy avocado-cocoa sponge layers.

A refreshing birthday cake choice, it’s the ultimate guilt-free luxury that’s both organic and diabetic-friendly. Guess what, it also comes in low Glycemic Index (GI), buttercream-free, non-diary, vegan or gluten free versions!

2. Fresh Avocado Milk Balls from All The Batter




Share the joy by buying a box for your family and colleagues.

Attention, avocado lovers, get ready for a taste¬-explosion when you get a mouthful of this rich, creamy, guilt-free goodness. All That Batter has upped its game with these golden fluffy pillows. You will discover a generous filling of refreshing avocado custard bursting of the fruit’s subtly nutty flavours. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, these milk balls are baked fresh every day. Quick, grab a box before they run out!

All The Batter is located at Anchorpoint.

When you are feeling a little posh.


Strawberries are like the unicorn of all fruits. Who can ever resist its red, plump goodness, especially when it smells oh-so-sweet? Strawberries blend in well with just about any dessert – it neutralises a dessert that’s too sweet and adds that ‘oomph’ in mild-tasting desserts. Not to mention, it gives a pop of colour, so it always makes a great dessert topper!

3. Rich Strawberry Cake from Châteraisé 




Almost too pretty to eat!

This delicate pastry is made with a meticulousness found only in the best Japanese patisseries. The star of this dessert is the Tochiotome strawberry, one of Japan’s most loved strawberry varieties flown all the way from Tochigi prefecture. She sits daintily on a twirl of smooth strawberry milk cream made from fresh Hokkaido milk. Taste a small spoonful of cream and a delightful strawberry sweetness spreads slowly across your palate. Holding it all together is a light, fluffy sour-raspberry sponge and a buttery baked tart below it. Simply exquisite.

4. Strawberry Fromage Tart from Châteraisé 




Pair this with black coffee or tea.

This strawberry cheese tart feels like everything we need  for the ultimate tea-time pleasure. It’s a cross between a top notch Strawberry shortcake and a cheesecake. The base is a nutty almond tart with a nice crumbly texture, filled with a tangy cream cheese layer and a light strawberry Hokkaido cream. A final lovely coat of snow-white cream and juicy Tochiotome strawberries tops it off.


When you are feeling peckish...

When you are craving Netflix and chocolate comfort.


What makes chocolate the ultimate go-to, comfort dessert? Other than being rich and creamy, chocolate contains the same chemicals that your brain creates when you’re falling in love, making your brain release feel-good endorphins. Take it as nature’s gift of happiness to you.

Cheese tart and chocolate? What more can we ask for?

It’s Netflix night. That means you need something comforting to tuck into. Almost like the ‘little black dress’ of desserts, chocolate is always a safe bet. Our favourite thing about these tarts is their impressive shortcrust pastry and gooey Hokkaido cheese centre. Topped with an extra layer of crunchy almond nibs, it gives a divine contrast to the silky-smooth and rich dark chocolate cream underneath.
