Vegan Strawberry Custard Tarts

Mini puff pastry tarts topped with fruity jam, creamy custard and fresh strawberries. What's not to love? These vegan strawberry custard tarts are the perfect way to celebrate summer! Custard is a classic English dessert, one that's used to accompany so many treats like a crumble, pudding or cake. It's also an essential part or the British trifle. Although it's usually used to drizzle over puddings, I honestly think custard is a strong enough contender to stand as a main dessert in its own right. I would happily curl up on the sofa with a bowl of (warm or cold, depending on the season) plain custard. I would even go so far as to say I'd probably pick a bowl [...]

Vegan Chai Chocolate Tart

*This post is sponsored by Ahmad Tea* A creamy, yet light tart packed with warming spices. This easy vegan chai chocolate tart is perfect on a cold day. 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. It's such an easy and convenient way to add lots of flavour without using any artificial ingredients. I'm using Ahmad Tea chai spice tea bag. I've been a huge fan of their teas for years. I first came across them when I was looking for cardamom tea, something that I grew up drinking, but was struggling to [...]

Hazelnut Cream Bars

A biscuit base, smooth hazelnut centre all topped with dark chocolate - these hazelnut cream bars are so delicious and dreamy! I made these copycat Kinder Bueno Bars a few weeks ago and they were a massive hit! What I love most about them is that the hazelnut cream centre is literally made up of 2 ingredients only - white chocolate and hazelnut butter! I just love recipes with few ingredients. I wanted to use that 2 ingredient hazelnut cream and incorporate it into another one of my popular recipes - these Biscoff Squares. These hazelnut cream bars are made using healthier ingredients like oats, ground almonds and hazelnut butter. I always try to use less sugar/sweetener in my treats [...]

Vegan Earl Grey Cake

*This post is sponsored by Ahmad Tea* This one is for all the tea lovers out there - this vegan Earl Grey Cake is infused with ground tea leaves adding a delicious and fragrant bergamot taste! I love using tea in desserts as a quick and easy way to add lots of flavour. I do think using tea in recipes is an idea that's so underrated and under used! There are so many amazing tea flavours out there that can be used to make delicious and decadent treats! Earl Grey is one of my favourite teas - I love the addition of the fragrant bergamot. It provides such a unique and exotic citric taste and adds so much character to [...]

California Walnut Za’atar Flat Breads

*This post is sponsored by California Walnuts* This right here is one of my childhood favourites! If you’ve never tried (or even heard of) za’atar you’re missing out big time! It’s basically a blend of herbs (mainly thyme and oregano) with sesame seeds. It’s usually mixed with olive oil and lemon juice then spread on bread/dough to create the most drool worthy flavour combination! It’s definitely a comfort meal for me - a Middle Eastern pizza if you like. I’m adding California Walnut ‘mince’ to my version to add some healthy fats and protein. Did you know that walnuts are the only tree nut to contain a rich source of the plant-based omega-3, alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) 2.7g/ 30g*? Each 30g [...]

Vegan Mediterranean Tuna Pizza

* This post is sponsored by Good Catch* A delicious pizza that you won’t be able to tell is completely plant-based! This vegan Mediterranean tuna pizza can be enjoyed by vegans and non-vegans alike! To me, pizza is the ultimate comfort food. A treat to have on a Friday evening after a hectic week or on a Saturday evening with good company and a movie. Vegan pizzas have such a bad reputation of being boring and tasteless, but I’m here to prove that theory wrong with this tuna pizza that’s packed full of flavour using plant-based tuna! Good Catch recently contacted me asking if I wanted to try their vegan tuna, and how could I say no to that? I didn’t [...]

Baked Bramley with Gingerbread Pecan Filling

Baked Bramley with Gingerbread Pecan Filling Delicious baked British Bramley Apples filled with festive gingerbread flavoured pecans and served with custard. This is the definition of comfort right here! :D  Now that December is here (I know what you're thinking. It's come by so fast!) and the Christmas spirit is in full swing, I wanted to share my first festive recipe of the year, these baked Bramley apples with gingerbread pecan filling.  I have to admit, this was my first time baking Bramley apples. Whenever I've baked with apples, I haven't given much thought as to which variety of apple would work best in baking. I just assumed they would all behave the same in the oven, but now I realise how wrong I've [...]
