6 junk food recipes to curb your cravings for something dirty
If you need an excuse to let go of your diet plan for an evening, then we’ve got a brilliant one for you: today is National Junk Food Day in America.
Across the US, Americans will be treating themselves to their favourite palatable delights, but there’s no reason why we can’t celebrate all things sticky, delicious and indulgent here across the pond too.
And while there’s no shortage of finger-licking good food to tuck into at restaurants across the capital - in moderation, of course - we’ve rounded up six mouth-watering recipes you can make at home instead.
So roll up your sleeves and get cooking - just try not to drool on your keyboard.
Camembert beef burger stack
A deliciously succulent homemade burger, smothered in soft, gooey Camembert and tangy barbecue sauce. It even has four of your five-a-day.
Mac and Cheese bites
These creamy, cheesy and crispy snacks will disappear quickly so make lots.
Ultimate caramel chocolate freakshake
This decadent gravity-defying dessert will bring a smile to everyone’s faces. It’s a treat for one, or two to share if you’re feeling generous.
Strawberries and cream cheesecake
A creamy frozen dessert made with fresh strawberries and cream and topped with even more strawberries. Simple to make and perfect for a hot summer day.
Chocolate and raspberry layered cake
The classic combination of chocolate and raspberries works so well, you'll be tempted to make two.
Chocolate and cookie dough ice cream sandwiches
Chewy cookie dough and creamy vanilla ice cream, sandwiched between two crunchy chocolate biscuits – heaven!
