5-Ingredient No-Bake Chocolate Covered Brownies

5-Ingredient No-Bake Chocolate Covered Brownies

Delicious and so decadent - these 5-ingredient no-bake chocolate covered brownies are the perfect no fuss, easy and delicious treat! Seems like I'm currently on a chocolate marathon. I've been posting so many recipes recently that feature chocolate quite heavily. Not that I've had any complaints from you here or on my social media channels. I think it's the time of year - it's so cold and gloomy most days that I (and I'm sure many of you are with me on this one) need some comfort foods to keep me going! Luckily these no-bake brownies are healthier than your average brownie - packed with fibre and healthy fats from the dates and tahini. What makes them even better is [...]

Chocolate Fudge Tahini Cookies

Chocolate Fudge Tahini Cookies

Rich, dense and chewy chocolate cookies made using healthier ingredients - these Chocolate Fudge Tahini Cookies are completely plant-based and gluten-free. If you love chocolate and tahini, then these chocolate fudge tahini cookies are for you. In fact if you love cookies, full stop, you need to try these! I made these cookies years ago and posted them on my blog (click here for the original recipe), but I've had a lot of requests for an egg-free version and I've finally managed to get the chance to re-test the recipe and found the perfect ratio of ingredients for them to work without the eggs. They're super dense and so chocolatey and lush :D and best of all they only call for 7 ingredients! [...]

Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Bread (Vegan)

*This post is sponsored by Califia Farms* A decadent chocolate peanut butter banana bread - dense, rich and topped with a lush frosting. Dessert heaven right here! Who doesn't love banana bread? I have never come across someone who doesn't like to indulge in a moist, dense slice of banana bread. However, this is no ordinary banana bread. For one, it's a chocolate banana bread, AND it's topped with a decadent peanut butter frosting. It's impossible to say no to a slice with your afternoon cuppa. Banana bread had a serious moment during lockdown. Everyone seemed to be making it apart from me, which is strange seeing as banana bread is my favourite kind of cake. On reflection, I know [...]

Rich and decadent gingerbread chocolate mousse pots that only call for 7 ingredients and they also happen to be vegan! These gingerbread chocolate mousse pots are as simple as a dessert can get. There is no baking required and all you have to do is blend biscuits with coconut oil or vegan butter to make the base, and pour a simple melted chocolate and coconut milk mixture on top and leave in the fridge to set! I added some ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg to make them more festive and Christmassy :) I think for many, Christmas is a time to put your feet up, relax and enjoy some free time with friends and family. Of course it's also about enjoying delicious [...]

Ferrero Rocher Stuffed Dates

Ferrero Rocher Stuffed Dates

A healthier treat to enjoy over the festive period. These Ferrero Rocher stuffed dates are so easy to make and only call for a handful of ingredients! I've been making stuffed Medjool dates for years, ever since I embarked on my healthy eating journey. It's such an easy dessert and tastes absolutely divine! A great way to satisfy my sweet tooth, but with better-for-me ingredients. I know they don't taste exactly like a Ferrero Rocher, but I'd say they're not far off. The fudge like sweetness of the dates along with the hazelnut butter and dark chocolate coating make the perfect healthier substitute. To make them a little more indulgent, I dipped them in dark chocolate with chopped hazelnuts to [...]
