If you cast your mind back to the simpler times of Bake Off series six, you may well recall that Nadiya Hussain was not only crowned the overall winner of the series, but star baker of the show’s notoriously challenging Chocolate Week. It’s no surprise then that Nadiya’s chocolate-based recipes stand out as some of the most popular from across the cookbooks she has gone on to publish since, from the hot cookie dough dessert from her first cookbook, Nadiya’s Kitchen to the triple chocolate brownies from her latest release, Nadiya Bakes. Here we have rounded up eight of our favourite recipes that combine two of the greatest gifts to the world of baking: chocolate and Nadiya Hussain.
