For those who don't know, Eid Al Fitr is a celebration that marks the end of the month of fasting (Ramadan), It's like the Muslim version of Christmas. A time to spend with loved ones accompanied by lots of yummy traditional food and desserts...
Salted Caramel Tahini Cheesecake Who can resist salted caramel anything? Especially when it's full of healthy fats and fibre while being both vegan AND gluten-free! Not to mention it's in the form of a cheesecake. Are you drooling yet? This is by far the best 'raw' dessert I've ever tried. It has just the right amount of sweetness without being over the top, sickly sweet. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Tahini and dates are one of the best flavour combinations EVER! It's like the Middle Eastern equivalent of peanut butter & jelly. Of course me being biased I think tahini and dates tastes better, but each to their own, right :P To make it super smooth and creamy, I [...]
Middle Eastern Inspired Almond Milks - Halva & Turkish Delight Both these desserts, halva and turkish delight, have a special place in my heart. I grew up loving, but rarely eating either of them. We only had treats like this when visiting relatives or at special occasions. Not too long ago I made another 'halva' recipe - my Halva overnight oats. As you can probably tell I'm OBSESSED with tahini and tahini flavoured goodies! The Turkish delight we used to get in Iraq was usually pink, with a hint of rose flavour and crunchy pistachios in the middle. I love using funky flavoured milks to pour over my granola (like this and this), chocolate or hazelnut milk is usually my faves but I [...]

No-bake Cherry Bakewell Tart - Like the traditional recipe, but made much healthier! Vegan, gluten free and almost raw
I’m not going to argue that Christmas pudding is probably one of the perfect traditional post-Christmas dinner desserts; However, it does take hours to make yourself. Of course you always have the option of buying a ready made Christmas pudding which will most likely be full of sugars and additives. I’m not saying you shouldn’t indulge, but if you would prefer a healthier treat that you can make at home in less than 15 minutes, then I've got you covered.
Banoffee Pie is a classic British dessert and one of my favourite all time desserts. Crumbly biscuit base, rich caramel centre topped with sliced banana and fresh cream...what's not to like? No one can resist a good slice of banoffee pie!
You can't beat a good BANANA flavoured dessert, especially when that dessert is a CHEESECAKE! I don't think I've ever had a banana cheesecake before but I had no doubt banana would go well with cheesecake.
Sometimes all you need to lift your mood and energy is a nice, cold and refreshing smoothie! And what's more refreshing than a tropical mango banana and coconut smoothie?Even the colour is bright and cheerful! Naturally sweet from the mango and banana with a hint of coconut.
