Vegan Custard Tarts (Gluten-free)

Vegan Custard Tarts (Gluten-free)

Vegan Custard Tarts When I started cutting out dairy, one of the many things I stopped eating was custard, and it's one of the many things I really missed! I had no idea how easy it was so make my own, homemade dairy-free version. It's ridiculously easy! AND it tastes just like 'normal' custard. How I wish I tried this recipe months and months ago! I missed out on so much custard goodness! I just realised this paragraph is full of exclamation marks!! Moving on... These vegan custard tarts taste like the 'real thing' and the custard part definitely tastes like the custard I remember and love. Sweet, thick and...vanillary? OK I think I just made that word up but [...]

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

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.

Vegan Tahini Popsicles

Vegan Tahini Popsicles

Vegan Tahini Popsicles I'm afraid I might be a little late in sharing this recipe since it seems the sun has decided to retire after a couple of weeks of glorious weather! But I'm one of those people who can eat ice cream any time of the year. It always seems like the perfect light and refreshing after dinner dessert. If you haven't noticed already, a lot of my recent recipes have been based around tahini. I just can't get enough of the stuff! And since my Salted Caramel Tahini Cheesecake was such a hit, I just had to create another tahini treat. (and I have a few more on the way!). These vegan tahini popsicles are so creamy, rich and taste so good! Dipped in homemade [...]

Matcha Pinwheel Cookies (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Matcha Pinwheel Cookies (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Have you noticed that whenever you make 'healthy' cookies, they tend to be soft not crunchy? most healthy cookies I've seen are usually the soft variety, which is fine. I love cookies in any form, but every now and then I do crave a good crunchy cookie (or biscuit as we call it here in the UK!) ...

Vegan Gluten-free Chocolate Orange Cake

Vegan Gluten-free Chocolate Orange Cake

Every time I post a recipe that incorporates chocolate and orange, so many of you tell me it's one of your favourite flavour combinations. So it only made sense that I create more chocolate orange desserts!

Healthy Middle Eastern Cardamom Cookies (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Healthy Middle Eastern Cardamom Cookies (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Healthy Middle Eastern Cardamom Cookies Growing up in the Middle East meant I got the chance to enjoy plenty of desserts flavoured with cardamom. I love it so much that I can safely say it's my favourite spice. The hubby on the other side, hates cardamom, so I don't get to use it as much as I would like to. However, with Eid (the festival of breaking of the fast) fast approaching, I really wanted to create a Middle Eastern dessert, something that I grew up eating during this time. Last year I created a healthy, vegan and gluten-free version of the most popular Iraqi cookie - Kleicha, or date rolls/date filled cookies and they were a big hit! This year, I wanted to [...]

If you’ve followed my blogging journey from the start, you’ll probably remember that I used to use whey protein powder in a lot of my desserts and baking. It was a fun way to add protein and flavour into recipes while keeping the calories low...
