Vegan Chocolate Swirl Pumpkin Fudge

Vegan Chocolate Swirl Pumpkin Fudge

This vegan chocolate swirl pumpkin fudge is easy, tasty and made using better-for-you ingredients! You also don't need any fancy equipment to make them - just a saucepan and spatula. I had some leftover pumpkin puree form testing another recipe that needed using up. There were so many recipe ideas going through my mind when it occurred to me that I hadn't made a fudge recipe in the longest time. Why not make a pumpkin fudge recipe? I wanted to make a super simple, no-fuss, few ingredient recipe that tasted good, but was also somewhat good for you. Made using pumpkin puree, nut butter, spices and a little bit of coconut oil to set and maple syrup to sweeten. To [...]

Nutty Vegan Chocolate Digestives

Nutty Vegan Chocolate Digestives

Nutty vegan chocolate digestives made at home with easy to find ingredients. They can also easily be made gluten-free! A homemade vegan digestive biscuit topped with a layer of chocolatey toasted almonds! These are essentially pimped up digestives. So if you're a fan of chocolate digestives, you definitely need to give these a try! Dark chocolate Digestives are my go to biscuit and I often make my own at home because they’re so easy to make and I think everything tastes better when it’s homemade. So I decided to make a fancier version with toasted flaked almonds in the chocolate topping. The almond chocolate layer really makes them feel so decadent - like the biscuits you would spend a lot [...]

A simple no-bake treat – this vegan chocolate mint cheesecake is so yummy and made using healthier ingredients! With a crumbly base, smooth mint chocolate 'cheesecake' filling all topped with a layer of smooth ganache, this mint chocolate cheesecake is so easy to make and requires no baking. I always make sure that the ingredients I use are accessible and easy to find and the ingredients I use to make this cheesecake are no exception. I love using brewed tea to flavour desserts.

My favourite tea brand at the moment is Ahmad tea. I [...]

Vegan No-bake Caramel Bars

Vegan No-bake Caramel Bars

A crunchy biscuit layer topped with a simple caramel filling, all dipped in lush dark chocolate - these vegan no-bake caramel bars are my healthier take on a Twix bar! Hands up if you love Twix bars ??‍♀️ I used to eat them almost everyday during my uni days. You could say I was obsessed! Since I started making my own healthier desserts at home, I decided to try to recreate a classic favourite so that everyone can enjoy them. My version is vegan and gluten-free, so a great options for those who can't eat dairy or gluten. The more I started to experiment with recipes, the more I found my flavour preferences changed. It's like my taste buds were maturing [...]

3-Ingredient Chocolate Crunch Doughnuts

3-Ingredient Chocolate Crunch Doughnuts

A yummy crunchy treat that's so easy anyone and everyone can make it! These 3-ingredient chocolate crunch doughnuts are perfect for when you're craving something sweet, but don't feel like baking or making anything too complicated. This recipe is probably the most popular recipe on my blog to date. I think the reason is that they're so easy and only call for 3 ingredients. They're also really easy to adjust - you can add anything to them and you can shape them however you like. I love using doughnuts mould, but you can use any moulds you have on hand, or even use a cake tin and cut them up into bars/squares. These chocolate crunch doughnuts do remind me of [...]

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 Gluten-free Butter Cookies

Vegan Gluten-free Butter Cookies

Light, buttery and crumbly cookies dipped in chocolate and decorated with chopped hazelnuts. These vegan gluten-free butter cookies are a must-try! I made these vegan gluten-free butter cookies for Christmas and dipped them in matcha white chocolate and chopped pistachios. I just had to make a dark chocolate version, this time decorated with chopped hazelnuts. I think we can all agree that chocolate + hazelnuts is one of the most delicious flavour combos ever. These cookies are definitely a lot more indulgent than my usual treats. With butter cookies, you really do need to use a lot of butter (hence the name!), and sugar too, so they're not healthy in any shape or form. However, they are gluten-free and vegan, [...]

Chocolate Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies

Chocolate Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies

A super easy treat that's ready in no time - these chocolate peanut butter sandwich cookies are no-bake and so delicious! A smooth 3-ingredient peanut butter filling sandwiched between two rich, no-bake chocolate cookies. What's not to love? I've always thought of chocolate and peanut butter as such a winning combo, but what makes these cookies special is that they're made using healthier ingredients! They're also no-bake and you don't need any fancy equipment to make them. I use oats in a lot of my baking and treats. They've become a staple in my kitchen and for good reason. They're an amazing source of fibre, vitamins and minerals as well as antioxidants. Including them in the diet is linked to [...]
