1. Nutella Cookie, A Pie Party
This giant chocolate cookie from A Pie Party is crispy on the outside and soft and gooey on the inside. It’s loaded with crunchy nuts, a touch of salt and filled with a whole heap of oozing Nutella. UHMAZZZING. One that made it to my ‘Must Eat’s on 2019‘ list. Find them at good London food markets.

Hawksmoor’s sticky toffee pudding might look like your regular pudding but believe me it isn’t. It’s the BEST. A soft sponge is drowned in lashings of glossy, sticky sauce and it’s topped with a big blob of clotted cream for extra indulgence. A heart racing kind of dessert.

Blacklock, who usually specialise in all things meat, have knocked it out of the park with their dessert. Order the white chocolate cheesecake and a waiter will bring out an entire tray and spoon it generously into your bowl until it’s piled high. The best cheesecake I’ve ever eaten and another on my ‘Must Eats for 2019‘ List
