Moringa Lime Chocolate Tarts

Moringa Lime Chocolate Tarts Now that the weather is finally starting to warm up it seems fitting to focus on chilled sweet treats. Expect lots of ice creams, lollies, refreshing drinks and raw desserts in the next coming weeks. Treats like these decadent Moringa lime chocolate tarts!  The lovely Jacquelyn from FERA kindly sent me some of their Moringa powder to create some nutritionally dense desserts. I loved finding out about her story and the reasons behind starting her business. She suffered with chronic health issues, which she was able to overcome naturally by changing her diet and adopting a more holistic lifestyle. Her journey is something I can relate to as a fellow chronic disease sufferer. I always find such [...]

Strawberry Salted Caramel Cheesecake Bars

Strawberry Salted Caramel Cheesecake Bars Strawberries and chocolate are always a good combination. The complex flavour and sweetness of the strawberries complement the depth of taste and bitterness of the dark chocolate so well. Another great combination with either/or is salted caramel! Seriously, those three flavours are a combination made in heaven - one that you must try asap if you haven't already! Initially I had the idea of creating a salted caramel strawberry cheesecake, but I didn't just want to stop there. I wanted to make something a little different but equally moreish if not even more so. That's when I had the idea of creating these strawberry salted caramel cheesecake bars individually covered with a dark chocolate shell, because who doesn't love [...]

Raw Salted Caramel Brownies

Raw Salted Caramel Brownies A treat to satisfy your chocolate cravings without any processed sugar, processed oils or any other nasty added ingredients.  I'm a huge fan of energy/bliss balls - basically any snack made out of dates and nuts. They make a great snack because they're high in fibre, good fats and they're sweet without the need to add any kind of processed refined sugars. Nothing beats whole dates as a form of sweetener, not even the sugar-free varieties, which we are yet to find out their long-term effects as they're relatively new to our diets.  Instead of blending dates and nuts and shaping them into balls, I added in some cocoa powder into the mix and pressed the mixture into [...]

Mini Raw Banoffee Pies – Vegan & Gluten-free

Mini Banoffee Pies - Vegan & Gluten-free Banoffee pie is a quintessential British dessert that can satisfy even the sweetest sweet tooth. A rich, crumbly biscuit base, a sticky toffee/caramel centre, a layer of banana slices and a thick fluffy layer of whipped cream. Doesn't that sound like the most heavenly combination ever?! Of course the rich deliciousness comes at a price. The downside is that a banoffee pie is typically extremely high in sugar, saturated fat and not much else, apart from the banana layer of course of, the benefits of which are drowned by the use of all the other processed ingredients. A while ago I made my own healthified version of a banoffee pie (see my raw banoffee pie) made using [...]

Healthy Homemade Ferrero Rocher

Healthy Homemade Ferrero Rocher Chocolate + hazelnut is one of the best sweet flavour combinations ever! Think things like Nutella and Ferrero Rocher. I don't know anyone who dislikes either and they're equally decadent and moreish making them extremely difficult to resist. Once you have a spoon of Nutella, you just HAVE TO have another one. The same goes with Ferrero Rocher. I'm never satisfied with just the one, I have to have at least ten two. Over Christmas and new year's is when I need to fight my urge to inhale all the Ferrero Rocher presented in front of me. They're literally everywhere! At the entrance of supermarkets and department stores, at relative's houses and at least one person will give you a box as [...]

Raw Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecake

Raw Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecake Both the hubby and I are huge fans of cheesecake, but as someone who avoids dairy, refined carbs and sugar, regular animal fat and sugar-laden cheesecakes are off the menu for me. However, I do still crave a slice every now and then - that's when a raw cheesecake comes in handy! I'm pretty sure you'll agree with me when I say layered cheesecakes are ALWAYS better than a no-layered cheesecake. They just look so pretty when you slice into them and I like the distinguished flavours. Chocolate and peanut butter is such a classic and delicious pairing. I haven't yet come across someone who doesn't like those 2 flavours merged together. This raw chocolate peanut butter cheesecake is [...]

Matcha Mint Mango Smoothie

Matcha Mint Mango Smoothie On warm days like today, all I want to eat is ice cream and frozen treats, which is the exact opposite to what I should be eating. My body is craving nourishment and hydration, things that calorific, sugary and fatty ice creams won't exactly supply me with! So I like to make smoothies instead. Thick smoothies to be more specific. Ones that you eat with a spoon rather than drink with a straw. Why? Because they feel so much more satisfying to me. Even if I make the same exact smoothie with the same exact ingredients and the same quantities and the only difference being one has more water than the other, which in theory should make me feel even more [...]

Homemade Raspberry Chocolate (Raw/Vegan/Dairy-free) – Video

Making your own dairy-free chocolate at home couldn't be easier! All you need is some coconut oil, cocoa powder and some sort of liquid sweetener. I like to add nut butter, especially cashew butter to make it more creamy and delicious :D but it's completely optional. I would however avoid using peanut butter because the taste is just too overpowering.
