Vegan Tahini Chocolate Fudge

Vegan Tahini Chocolate Fudge

Tahini Chocolate Fudge A delicious treat made using only 5 ingredients! This vegan tahini chocolate fudge is super easy to make and tastes divine ? I know most people associate tahini with savoury recipes like hummus and tahini sauce, but for me tahini suits sweet treats so much better. It's like nut butter, but made with seeds instead. I also think chocolate and tahini make the perfect flavour combination. If you've never tried chocolate with tahini before you're missing out big time! I based this recipe on my 2-ingredient vegan chocolate fudge that I made a while back. It was a huge hit and I can see why. A yummy healthier fudge recipe that requires not special fudge making equipment and calls for very [...]

Vegan & Gluten-free Scones

Vegan & Gluten-free Scones

Vegan & Gluten-free Scones Super easy, fail proof vegan and gluten-free scones that are easy to make and adapt. I was craving a comforting rainy day treat, and the first thing that came to mind was scones. Topped with jam and vegan creme fraiche- heaven! Went down a treat with my cup of cardamom tea ? I used a mixture of gluten-free flour and oat flour, which I made myself by blending plain rolled oats into a fine flour in the food processor. If you're allergic or intolerant to gluten do make sure you use gluten-free oats. Most oats are handled in the same facilities as other gluten containing products, so chances are there will be some gluten contamination. These scones [...]

Vegan & Gluten-free Cookie Dough Bites

Vegan & Gluten-free Cookie Dough Bites

Vegan & Gluten-free Cookie Dough Bites A delicious, easy and speedy treat that's healthier for you but still tastes delish! These vegan & gluten-free cookie dough bites are packed with healthy fats, fibre and yummy flavours. It's been a month since my last post! I can't believe I left it so long, although I have to say I did have a good excuse. Many of you already know that I've been working really hard the past few years on getting my nutrition qualification and the last few weeks I've been keeping my head down trying to get my end of year portfolio submitted. 3 case studies, an essay and a whole lot of paper work took it out of me. [...]

Chocolate Chip Almond Nicecream

Chocolate Chip Almond Nicecream

Chocolate Chip Almond Nicecream A quick and easy ice cream recipe that requires no churning! It's also much healthier than shop bought ice cream. I've been craving ice cream a lot recently. My flat is like a sauna and attracts the heat. So much so that it's actually warmer in the flat than it is outside! So you can imagine how hot it feels when it's 30 degrees outside. The only things I've been wanting to eat are ice cream and water melon. I've also been experiencing digestive problems due to stress and the fact that I haven't been eating well the past couple of months. I usually have a massive appetite and I'm always hungry. Now I find myself [...]

Vegan Biscoff Rocky Road

Vegan Biscoff Rocky Road

Vegan Biscoff Rocky Road A scrumptious chocolaty treat with lots of yummy flavours and interesting textures! Rocky road is such an easy dessert to make. No baking required and it's pretty foolproof so everyone and anyone can make it! It's enjoyed by adults and kids alike and is easily adjustable to suit different tastes, likes and dietary preferences. My father-in-law invited us to a last minute BBQ a few days ago and I wanted to make a speedy dessert to take with me so I don't show up empty handed. I had to make sure it was nut-free because my sister-in-law has a nut allergy. My husband's siblings are all a lot younger than him (the youngest being 13), so I had to also [...]

Vanilla Chocolate Sandwich Cookies

Vanilla Chocolate Sandwich Cookies

Vanilla Chocolate Sandwich Cookies It's no secret that I love cookies (or biscuits as we refer to them here in the UK) they're my favourite sweet treats and the kind of recipes I enjoy creating the most. I've made so many cookie recipes over the years from tahini chocolate cookies, no-bake thumbprint cookies and Nutella filled cookies to more adventurous cookies like chocolate & strawberry S'mores, cinnamon roll cookies and doughnut cookies more recently. I also love recreating vegan and gluten-free versions of classics like Jaffa cakes, Wagon Wheels and Jammie Dodgers. So yeah, I'm a cookie monster and proud of it! Another big love of mine is chocolate. Add chocolate to any dessert and I'll eat it! I think what [...]

Vegan Raspberry Cheesecake Cups (cashew-free/nut-free/gluten-free)

Vegan Raspberry Cheesecake Cups (cashew-free/nut-free/gluten-free)

Vegan Raspberry Cheesecake Cups Mini vegan raspberry cheesecake cups that also happen to be cashew-free, nut-free and gluten-free! If you search for vegan cheesecake recipes online you'll find that most of them are made with the same main ingredient - cashews! Not that there's anything wrong with cashews, but I wanted to make a plant-based cheesecake that resembles the 'real thing' and I found the best way to do that is by using a dairy-free cream cheese alternative. Both the taste and texture is more true to the original, which is what you want really if you're making a 'cheesecake'. Especially if you're making it for a non-vegan and you want to impress them, a cashew cheesecake just won't cut [...]
