JoFi’s Bakes Baking the world a sweeter place 🩷

Me on November 1st: Halloween is officially over, and you already know what that means — Mariah Carey is defrosting, the Christmas playlists are blasting, and I’ve entered my holiday baking era. 🎅🎶

The pumpkins are gone, the peppermint is out, and these cupcakes are my first official act of Christmas cheer. 💚❤️
There’s just something magical about this time — cozy vibes, glittering lights, and the smell of vanilla buttercream in the air.

If you’re already humming “All I Want for Christmas Is You” and pretending it’s snowing outside, welcome to the club. ❄️

We don’t wait for December here — we celebrate early, bake often, and sparkle always. ✨

These brown butter chocolate chip Cookie Monster millionaire bars are the ultimate Halloween bake – thick, gooey, and completely irresistible. 🍪💀

A layer of buttery brown butter cookie dough filled with chunks of chocolate, topped with a smooth, golden caramel made using condensed milk and sugar, then finished with a layer of white chocolate coloured in eerie Halloween shades. 💜🧡💚

Decorated with spooky sprinkles, crushed Oreos, mini cookies and edible eyes, they’re giving full-on Cookie Monster vibes with a frightful Halloween twist! 👁️🍪

Perfect for Halloween parties, bake sales or just a cosy night in with a scary film and something sweet. These bars are rich, chewy, and utterly indulgent – a real treat for anyone who loves a bit of spooky baking magic. 🎃✨

No clean cuts, it’s Halloween so it’s meant to be messy 😂

NEW ✨ Orange & Biscoff Browned-Butter Cookies 🍪🍊

My Mum asked for a cinnamon orange cake…
but I had a different idea 🧡 And here’s the best part —
✨ I haven’t seen anything like these before.
This flavour combination feels completely new, and I couldn’t be more obsessed.

I browned the butter, stirred in Biscoff spread, added crushed biscuits for crunch, zested a whole orange, and folded through chunks of Terry’s Chocolate Orange — and suddenly, my whole kitchen smelt like Christmas in a tray. 🎄✨

Think caramelised Biscoff spice, bright orange zest, and molten chocolate orange, all wrapped up in a soft-centred, chewy cookie with golden edges and that rich, nutty browned-butter depth.

Each bite starts with a citrusy sparkle, then rolls into warm cinnamon, brown sugar and caramel — and finishes with pools of gooey chocolate that just melt into everything.

Crushed Biscoff biscuits add little pockets of crunch, tying it all together in perfect harmony:
buttery • spiced • citrusy • gooey 🧡

It’s the kind of bake that makes your house smell like December, even in October.
Unique, nostalgic, and a little bit magical.

🍪 Key ingredients:
Browned butter, Biscoff spread, orange zest, crushed Biscoff biscuits, Terry’s Chocolate Orange chunks.

🧡 Why it works:
The nutty brown butter deepens the caramel notes of Biscoff.
The orange cuts through the sweetness with a bright lift.
And the chocolate ties everything together in one warm, nostalgic, utterly festive bite.

Golden layers of crisp, buttery shortcrust filled with smooth, creamy custard kissed by lemon and cinnamon — my homemade Tarte de Nata brings a taste of Portugal straight from my kitchen. 🇵🇹✨

The large tart, made with rich double cream for that velvety texture, is pure indulgence — while the smaller Pastéis de Nata carry that classic bakery charm, each with its caramelised top and delicate pastry bite. Together, they tell the story of tradition and creativity, where every swirl of custard is made from scratch and baked with love. ❤️

Whether it’s a slice of the silky, cream-filled tart or a single golden mini straight from the oven, each one captures the soul of a true Portuguese pastry — authentic, comforting, and irresistibly sweet.

Which one are you going for?

The small and mighty or are you cutting a slice?

🍎✨ Toffee Apple Blondies — Two Ways, Both Phenomenal 🍏 ✨

Gooey. Buttery. Sweet with a hint of spice. These Toffee Apple Blondies are the definition of cosy baking season 🤎

A vanilla-bean and cinnamon blondie base packed with brown-butter richness, swirled with ribbons of Thursday Cottage Toffee Apple Curd — sticky, sweet, and bursting with Autumn flavour. Then there’s the twist: a version crowned with a cinnamon streusel topping — golden, buttery, and the perfect crunch against that soft, fudgy middle.

Think caramel apple pie meets blondie bar — rich, nostalgic, and just a little bit fancy. Perfect for National Apple Day, cosy weekends, or your next dessert box drop 🍏

Save this post for your autumn baking inspo and tell me — are you team gooey swirl or streusel crunch?

I posted these on and everyone thought they were peppermint lifesavers 😂🤭 Go on… admit it, you thought they were mints too 👀

Spoiler: they’re Filipinos cookies — Spain’s iconic ring-shaped biscuits coated in smooth white chocolate 🇪🇸🍩

These bring back memories of my childhood in Portugal, I loved these!

Crunchy, creamy, and dangerously moreish. They’re perfectly paired with a rich, fudgy brownie and that beautiful crinkle top 🤎, this combo is pure dessert magic. The combo you didn’t know you needed!

These gooey brown-butter gingerbread cookies might be the best thing I’ve ever baked — soft in the centre, crispy on the edges, packed with flavour, spice, and white-chocolate chunks that melt into every bite 🤤

Imagine the M&S white chocolate & gingerbread cookies, but fresh from your own oven. The molasses sugar, brown butter, and caramel fudge pieces give that deep, festive warmth, while the ginger, cinnamon, and vanilla make the whole kitchen smell unreal.

They’re the perfect chewy cookie — rich, buttery, and just a little crisp around the edges (the best texture ever). If you love soft-baked cookies, Christmas baking, or cosy autumn bakes, you need to try these.

Honestly… should we call these the best gingerbread cookies of 2025? 😏

Tell me: are you team gooey middle or crisp edge when it comes to cookies?

A pastel de nata… but creamier 👀✨

A creamy twist on a Portuguese classic 🇵🇹

These tartes de pastel de nata keep everything we love about the original — flaky pastry, warm cinnamon, and lemon peel — but take it to another level with a custard made using real cream.

Golden, smooth, and easy to make — a reimagined classic that melts in your mouth 💛

🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋

Um pastel de nata… mas ainda mais cremoso 👀✨

Uma versão cremosa de um clássico Português 🇵🇹

Estas tartes de pastel de nata mantêm a essência do original — massa folhada estaladiça, canela e casca de limão — mas com um toque extra de indulgência: um creme feito com natas.

Douradas, suaves e simples de preparar — um clássico reinventado que se desfaz na boca 💛

Tell me why no one warned me how dangerous this combo is 😍

I took one bite of this Kinder Bueno-stuffed cookie, and suddenly I’m questioning every life choice I made before discovering White Hazelnut Spread. Like—how did I live without this creamy, nutty, chocolatey perfection?!

Inside that soft, chewy cookie: layers of melted Kinder Bueno, a swirl of Tesco White Hazelnut Spread, and a spoon (or two, who’s counting) of Tesco Chocolate Spread just casually causing chaos. It’s gooey, it’s rich, it’s giving “don’t talk to me while I’m eating this.”

The smell alone? Illegal. The bite? Unreal. The crumbs? Worth it.

If you see me at Tesco clearing the shelf—mind your business 😂

Save this post, tag a mate who’d demolish it, and for the love of chocolate… try this combo before it breaks the internet 🍫🔥

I’m a big fan 😍🤭
