Salted Caramel Tahini Cheesecake (Vegan & Gluten-free) – Video

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

Middle Eastern Inspired Almond Milks – Halva & Turkish Delight

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 [...]

Healthy Christmas Pudding Balls

Healthy Christmas Pudding Balls

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!

Raw Banana Cheesecake

Raw Banana Cheesecake

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.

Homemade Coconut Oil Chocolate

Homemade Coconut Oil Chocolate

I never thought the day would come when I could say I make my own homemade chocolate, how could that even be possible? I was so impressed by the idea of making homemade chocolate using only 3 ingredients without the need for any fancy equipments or techniques. The basic recipe calls for:
