Gingerbread Ganache Cookies (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Gingerbread Ganache Cookies (Vegan & Gluten-free)

A smooth chocolate ganache sandwiched in between 2 crunchy gingerbread biscuits. These gingerbread ganache cookies make a yummy festive treat that also happen to be vegan, gluten-free AND nut-free! *This post is sponsored by FREEE* This is my favourite gingerbread cookie/biscuit recipe, but instead of icing it like you typically would do with gingerbread biscuits, I’ve created a cookie sandwich with a smooth and velvety ganache in the middle. So yummy and moreish! Biscuits have always (and I imagine they always will be) my favourite treat! I would always pick a good biscuit over a slice of cake or a brownie. I just love that crunch you get with a freshly baked biscuit. This Christmas I wanted to create a [...]

Cookie Dough Chocolate Tart

Cookie Dough Chocolate Tart

This cookie dough chocolate tart is such a crowed pleaser! It's my go-to dessert when I'm expecting guests since it's so easy to make and so decadent. Made using healthier ingredients like oats, peanut butter and dark chocolate, yet tastes like a super naughty treat. It's no-bake making it so easy to put together and it tastes 100 times better than any dessert you can get from the shops. It's especially perfect for anyone who loves chocolate and peanut butter! No-bake cookie dough is one of the best things ever. What's even better is cookie dough paired with a velvety chocolate ganache.

Vegan Sesame Chocolate Bark

Vegan Sesame Chocolate Bark

A simple treat that's really easy to make and only calls for 3 ingredients - this vegan sesame chocolate bark is perfect for when you're craving something chocolatey with a bit of crunch. This is another example of how perfectly well chocolate and tahini/sesames go together. If you think peanut butter and chocolate make the perfect pairing, you need to try this combination too! I always say tahini is the Middle Eastern version of peanut butter. It's used a lot in both sweet and savoury dishes. As well as tahini, I remember eating sesame brittle a fair bit growing up in the Middle East, which is usually made with sesame seeds + honey. I haven't had it in years, but [...]

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cornflake Bites

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cornflake Bites

These chocolate peanut butter cornflake bites are super easy to put together, require no baking and only call for 5 ingredients! They also combine some of my food loves - chocolate, peanut butter and something crunchy. Literally the best combo ever! Simple, few ingredient treats have always been, and will always be, my favourite type of recipes to make, but also to share because they seem to be the kind of recipes you all love too! I can understand why they would be popular. In a world that's becoming increasingly busy and an ever growing to-do-list, the last thing most of us want is to spend hours in the kitchen whipping up a treat. If you're anything like me, instead [...]

Healthy Chocolate Banana Bread

Healthy Chocolate Banana Bread

Who could say no to a lush slice of healthy chocolate banana bread? Not me! Banana bread is delicious as is, but add chocolate into the mix and you'll end up with something truly irresistible ? Banana bread is probably one of my favourite types of cake. I've made a few of banana bread recipes in the past, like my walnut banana bread, banana blueberry bread and this banana avocado bread. I can see myself making many more variations in the future too :D I just love how dense and moist they are. You really can't go wrong with a good banana bread. It's such a crowd-pleaser! Treat yourself or make it the next time you want to impress someone with your [...]

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 [...]

4 Ingredient Almond Fudge

4 Ingredient Almond Fudge

Fudge, but not as you know it - these 4 ingredient almond fudge are made with healthier ingredients and there's no cooking required! For years, dates have been my No. 1 go-to ingredient to use in my desserts. Even though they are high in sugar (like most fruit are), I would prefer to eat a date than a spoon of sugar. It's like the argument that fruit juice is as bad as drinking fizzy drinks just because fruit juice is high in sugar. It may be high in sugar, yes, but it's also high in vitamins and antioxidants, which fizzy drinks are not. So if you're going to drink one or the other, of course fruit juice is better for [...]

They're also made with better-for-you ingredients like whole fruit and yoghurt. * This post is sponsored by Foodie Flavours* Summer may officially be over, but my insatiable appetite for ice cream knows no season! Whether it's winter or summer, hot or cold, I'm always in the mood for ice cream. Not any ice cream though, specifically magnums. I could honestly eat them all year round. It's the ice cream + chocolate combination that does it for me. The mixture of a crunchy chocolate shell and silky smooth, creamy centre. I love a good [...]

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!

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. There are so many fun and exciting flavours to play around with instead of using artificial food flavourings. Just use whatever you have in your tea drawer/cupboard. My favourite tea brand at the moment is Ahmad tea. I [...]
