Vegan Pistachio Cardamom Ice Cream (No-Churn)

Vegan Pistachio Cardamom Ice Cream (No-Churn)

* This post is sponsored by East End Foods* A creamy dairy-free ice cream that’s no-churn and doesn’t require an ice cream machine! This vegan pistachio cardamom ice cream is a dream in hot weather. For me, the two ice cream flavours that I always ALWAYS go for whenever I see them in an ice cream parlour are coffee (which is why I had to make this vegan coffee chocolate magnum a few weeks ago), and pistachio. Pistachio in general is a flavour that grabs my attention and one I find difficult to ignore. My obsession with pistachios started in my childhood thanks to my Middle Eastern upbringing. They’re one of the most popular snacks there, but they’re also [...]

Oat Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies

Oat Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies

These oat flour chocolate chip cookies are my take on the classic treat, but made with oats instead of plain flour. I love making healthier desserts, but every now and then I also like to make something a little more indulgent. Let’s be realistic here, some days you just need something comforting to satisfy your taste buds and your soul. We all know that something as simple as a cookie can help lift us up when we’re having a bad day. Oats are one of my favourite ingredients to use in my desserts. It also works really great in baking and it’s an easy way to get extra fibre into the diet, which is a bonus. [...]

Vegan Cardamom Orange Muffins

Vegan Cardamom Orange Muffins

Light and fluffy muffins that are packed with yummy flavours - these vegan cardamom orange muffins make a lovely light treat to go with your cuppa! Desserts are my favourite kind of recipes to make. I've always had a major sweet tooth. I think it's mainly down to the fact that growing up in a war torn country meant we didn't have the luxury of enjoying treats. So I think now my body wants me to make up for it! The only problem is I have IBS, eczema and anxiety issues, which means yet again I don't have the luxury of eating whatever I want without it having some sort of negative impact on my mind and body. When people [...]

Vegan Protein Ferrero Rocher

Vegan Protein Ferrero Rocher

Who can say no to a Ferrero Rocher? What if I told you you can make them at home with healthier ingredients? These vegan protein Ferrero Rocher are a must try! I had just ordered a new tub of hazelnut butter and was brainstorming fun ways to use it in a recipe. I'm a massive fan of using protein powder in treats and it occurred to me that I hadn't made a protein recipe in a while. That's when the idea of making a protein version of the well-loved classic treat came to me. I already have a healthier Ferrero Rocher recipe on my blog (find the recipe here), but I wanted to make another version that had added protein. [...]

Vegan Coffee Chocolate Magnums

Vegan Coffee Chocolate Magnums

A magnum ice cream for adults! These vegan coffee chocolate magnums are perfect for coffee and chocolate lovers and make a nice change to the usual magnum flavours that you get in the shops. There's nothing more delicious and satisfying on a hot summer day than ice cream. Am I right or am I right? When it comes to ice cream, magnums will always be my number one choice. It's the chocolate shell that does it for me. I Just can't resist anything with a bit of a crunch, and that applies to ice cream too. The crunch in that first bite is just too satisfying! Plus you know how much I love my chocolate, so chocolate + ice cream [...]

Protein Chocolate Caramel Sandwich Cookies

Protein Chocolate Caramel Sandwich Cookies

A chocolate sandwich cookie filled with a simple 2 ingredients protein filling . These protein chocolate sandwich cookies are a great treat for when you're craving something sweet, but want a healthier option. I love making healthier treats. I do believe you can treat yourself, but still nourish your body at the same. If you're going to eat something tasty, why not make it good for you too? I'm a huge advocate of using protein powders. They're such an easy and fun way to add extra protein into your diet. Many of us have busy lifestyles that make meal planning a bit tricky. Some days I don't have time to plan and shop for ingredients to make a healthy balanced [...]

Vegan Tahini Brownies

Vegan Tahini Brownies

So these brownies were kind of an accident. Is it just me or are the best recipes usually the ones that don't go to plan, instead they result in something even better! I was trying to make egg free chocolate cookies, but they didn't turn out exactly the way I planned, so I decided to turn them into brownies instead...and here's the result!

Vegan Chocolate Orange Marble Loaf

Vegan Chocolate Orange Marble Loaf

A delicious cake topped with a dark chocolate shell - this vegan chocolate orange marble loaf is the perfect dinner party treat to impress your guests! Chocolate and orange is always a winning combination in my eyes, especially in cake form. I've taken it a step further and topped my marble loaf with a dark chocolate shell for extra yumminess and decadence! You can't go wrong with adding more chocolate, can you? I don't bake many cakes, but when I do it's usually in the form of a loaf, like this lemon loaf, chocolate banana bread or chocolate peanut butter banana bread. I find loaf cakes so much more delicious and satisfying. They're so dense and moist, which is what [...]

4-Ingredient Vegan Crème Brûlée (Single Serve)

4-Ingredient Vegan Crème Brûlée (Single Serve)

A quick and easy dessert for one, this 4-ingredient vegan crème brûlée is the perfect post-dinner light treat! I'm all for single serve desserts. I live with my partner and he doesn't have much of a sweet tooth, so whenever I make sweet treats (which I do a lot!), I find that I'm the only person eating them. It doesn't help that I can't have big meals/portions of anything because it triggers my IBS and I don't like wasting food. That's where single serve desserts come in! Crème Brûlée is such a decadent dessert - typically made with double cream, full fat milk, egg yolks and lots of sugar! My version is dairy-free (I like to use coconut milk or [...]
