Cookie Dough Chocolate Tart

Cookie Dough Chocolate Tart

This cookie dough chocolate tart is such a crowed pleaser! It's my go-to dessert when I'm expecting guests since it's so easy to make and so decadent. Made using healthier ingredients like oats, peanut butter and dark chocolate, yet tastes like a super naughty treat. It's no-bake making it so easy to put together and it tastes 100 times better than any dessert you can get from the shops. It's especially perfect for anyone who loves chocolate and peanut butter! No-bake cookie dough is one of the best things ever. What's even better is cookie dough paired with a velvety chocolate ganache. I've been making this simple peanut butter cookie dough for years and it occurred to me that it [...]

Vegan Chocolate Banana Bread

Vegan Chocolate Banana Bread

Who could say no to a lush slice of vegan chocolate banana bread? Not me! Banana bread is delicious as is, but add chocolate into the mix and you'll end up with something truly irresistible ? Banana bread is probably one of my favourite types of cake. I've made a few of banana bread recipes in the past, like my walnut banana bread, banana blueberry bread and this banana avocado bread. I can see myself making many more variations in the future too :D I just love how dense and moist they are. You really can't go wrong with a good banana bread. It's such a crowd-pleaser! Treat yourself or make it the next time you want to impress someone with your [...]

4 Ingredient Almond Fudge

4 Ingredient Almond Fudge

Fudge, but not as you know it - these 4 ingredient almond fudge are made with healthier ingredients and there's no cooking required! For years, dates have been my No. 1 go-to ingredient to use in my desserts. Even though they are high in sugar (like most fruit are), I would prefer to eat a date than a spoon of sugar. It's like the argument that fruit juice is as bad as drinking fizzy drinks just because fruit juice is high in sugar. It may be high in sugar, yes, but it's also high in vitamins and antioxidants, which fizzy drinks are not. So if you're going to drink one or the other, of course fruit juice is better for [...]

Nutty vegan chocolate digestives made at home with easy to find ingredients. They can also easily be made gluten-free! A homemade vegan digestive biscuit topped with a layer of chocolatey toasted almonds! These are essentially pimped up digestives. So if you're a fan of chocolate digestives, you definitely need to give these a try! Dark chocolate Digestives are my go to biscuit and I often make my own at home because they’re so easy to make and I think everything tastes better when it’s homemade. So I decided to make a fancier version with toasted flaked almonds in the chocolate topping. The almond chocolate layer really makes them feel so decadent - like the biscuits you would spend a lot [...]

Vegan No-bake Caramel Bars

Vegan No-bake Caramel Bars

A crunchy biscuit layer topped with a simple caramel filling, all dipped in lush dark chocolate - these vegan no-bake caramel bars are my healthier take on a Twix bar! Hands up if you love Twix bars ??‍♀️ I used to eat them almost everyday during my uni days. You could say I was obsessed! Since I started making my own healthier desserts at home, I decided to try to recreate a classic favourite so that everyone can enjoy them. My version is vegan and gluten-free, so a great options for those who can't eat dairy or gluten. The more I started to experiment with recipes, the more I found my flavour preferences changed. It's like my taste buds were maturing [...]

3-Ingredient Chocolate Crunch Doughnuts

3-Ingredient Chocolate Crunch Doughnuts

A yummy crunchy treat that's so easy anyone and everyone can make it! These 3-ingredient chocolate crunch doughnuts are perfect for when you're craving something sweet, but don't feel like baking or making anything too complicated. This recipe is probably the most popular recipe on my blog to date. I think the reason is that they're so easy and only call for 3 ingredients. They're also really easy to adjust - you can add anything to them and you can shape them however you like. I love using doughnuts mould, but you can use any moulds you have on hand, or even use a cake tin and cut them up into bars/squares. These chocolate crunch doughnuts do remind me of [...]

Vegan Cardamom Orange Muffins

Vegan Cardamom Orange Muffins

Light and fluffy muffins that are packed with yummy flavours - these vegan cardamom orange muffins make a lovely light treat to go with your cuppa! Desserts are my favourite kind of recipes to make. I've always had a major sweet tooth. I think it's mainly down to the fact that growing up in a war torn country meant we didn't have the luxury of enjoying treats. So I think now my body wants me to make up for it! The only problem is I have IBS, eczema and anxiety issues, which means yet again I don't have the luxury of eating whatever I want without it having some sort of negative impact on my mind and body. When people [...]

This tart is made up of a no-bake chocolate base and a smooth cream filling made up of coconut milk, dairy-free milk and white chocolate. I love using tea and tea bags to flavour desserts.

Vegan Oat Date Cups

Vegan Oat Date Cups

A healthier dessert made with oats and sweetened only with whole dates! These vegan oat date cups are so delicious and easy to make. I grew up eating and loving dates. It's such a big part of Middle Eastern cuisine and culture. It's especially important during the holy month of Ramadan as it's usually how most muslims break their fast. Growing up in Iraq wasn't easy to say the least, and for many reasons I won't go into in this post. We didn't have the luxury of enjoying treats, especially sweet treats as they were seen as non essential. When we did, it would be something my mum would make. She'd bake a cake or cookies every now and then, [...]
