Homemade Hobnobs Recipe
Hobnobs used to be my guilty pleasure along with chocolate digestive biscuits. I could easily eat half a pack in one sitting. Once I started there was no stopping until I felt sick!
Vegan Protein Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups
A protein recipe that tastes like a naughty dessert! These vegan protein chocolate peanut butter cups make a great snack or healthier treat. I love making treats like this for when I'm craving something sweet and chocolatey, but don't want something too decadent. They're no-bake, so really easy to make and you can change the recipe around depending on your preference. For example, if you don't have peanut butter, you can use any nut butter you like. Or if you have a nut allergy, use a seed butter like tahini or sunflower seed butter instead. You can also make them in a square cake tin and slice them into squares instead of individual cups. If you want to make them [...]
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 [...]

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. [...]

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, [...]

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 Lemon Cheesecakes
Zesty and creamy lemon cups - like a cheesecake, but so much lighter. These vegan lemon cheesecakes are so easy to put together and makes for a lovely chilled treat now that the weather is warming up. It's no secret that I love my decadent chocolatey desserts, but I also love fruity treats, especially when I'm looking for something light after a meal. A simple crumbly no-bake oaty base, topped with a smooth and lush lemony filling made up of cashews, coconut milk and lots of lemon goodness! You don't need to soak the cashews before hand - just add everything to a blender, then heat up in a pan (to allow starch gelatinisation). Pour into muffin moulds and leave to [...]
Vegan Strawberry Custard Tarts
Mini puff pastry tarts topped with fruity jam, creamy custard and fresh strawberries. What's not to love? These vegan strawberry custard tarts are the perfect way to celebrate summer! Custard is a classic English dessert, one that's used to accompany so many treats like a crumble, pudding or cake. It's also an essential part or the British trifle. Although it's usually used to drizzle over puddings, I honestly think custard is a strong enough contender to stand as a main dessert in its own right. I would happily curl up on the sofa with a bowl of (warm or cold, depending on the season) plain custard. I would even go so far as to say I'd probably pick a bowl [...]
