No-bake Vegan Berry Cheesecake Jars

No-bake Vegan Berry Cheesecake Jars

No-bake Vegan Berry Cheesecake Jars A dairy-free, vegan and gluten-free dessert that requires no baking and is really easy to put together. This no-bake vegan berry cheesecake jars are the perfect fuss-free dinner party dessert! This recipe is perfect for those days when you're craving a cheesecake, but don't want to make a whole cheesecake that serves eight to ten people when you live alone or with a partner and don't have that many mouths to feed. I live on my own so recently I've been turning to single-serve recipes to ensure I don't over eat (which is impossible when I have treats lying around!), but more importantly so nothing goes to waste. Whenever I'm testing recipes, more often than not [...]

Vegan Gluten-free Blueberry Crumble

Vegan Gluten-free Blueberry Crumble

Vegan Gluten-free Blueberry Crumble A quick and easy, vegan and gluten blueberry crumble that's guaranteed to warm you up on a cold winter evening! I'm very big on no-bake, chilled desserts. I find them a lot easier to make with less steps and much harder to get wrong. However, when winter kicks in I, like many others, start to crave comforting and warming food, and that applies to desserts too! I can't think of a dessert more warming and comforting than a crumble ? served warm with a scoop of dairy-free ice cream...can't imagine anything more divine whilst cosied up on the sofa in front of a warm fire - pure joy! I wanted to create a crumble that's really quick [...]

Cookie Dough Brownies Vegan, Gluten-free & Refined Sugar-free This is one of my favourite creations. Not only because they taste absolutely delicious and decadent, they're also probably the healthiest baked treat I've made so far! Made with black beans, oats and sweetened only with whole dates! Everyone who's tried these yummy bites has instantly fallen in love with them, which is such a joy to hear when you put your heart and soul into your creations and get such positive feedback.

Butternut Squash Turmeric Ginger Soup

Butternut Squash Turmeric Ginger Soup

Butternut Squash Turmeric Ginger Soup Now that I’ve embarked on my 30s, it’s crucial for me to look after my body in any way that I can. In my younger days, it was so easy to think I was invincible, like nothing would ever hurt me. I was so used to my body being able to bounce back and recover from pretty much anything. It’s only when I started getting the aches and pains that come as a result of accumulated injuries/physical stress, bad posture and the natural process of aging that I started to consider taking steps to look after myself! Now, that resilience I grew so used to having is fading and I find myself looking for ways [...]

Crème Brûlée Tart

Crème Brûlée Tart

Serving crème brûlée in a tart is such a simple concept, but it takes an already stunning dessert to the next level. This vegan crème brûlée tart is a must try for every dessert enthusiast. An indulgent treat that's free from dairy, eggs, gluten and nuts, yet still tastes insanely good! It can be enjoyed by everyone and you won't be able to tell there's no eggs or dairy in there. There is something inherently theatrical about a crème brûlée. The sharp crack of the caramelised sugar lid yielding to a pool of velvety custard is a sensory experience few desserts can match. But what happens when you take that sophisticated French classic and nestle it into a crisp, golden [...]

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 Pumpkin Curry

Vegan Pumpkin Curry

* This post is sponsored by East End Foods* Vegan Pumpkin Curry A delicious and warming vegan pumpkin curry that's perfect for the autumn and winter months! I can't think of anything more comforting than a coconut based curry to warm me up on a cold day. Especially now that the days are becoming shorter too here in the UK. Come 6pm, I need a bowl of something comforting that's also packed full of flavours, and this curry ticks both those boxes! With it also being Halloween season and pumpkins are everywhere, this vegan pumpkin curry is a great way to make the most of this in season vegetable. It's also a great way to use up the flesh of carved pumpkins [...]

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 [...]

Caramel Bramley Apple Energy Balls

Caramel Bramley Apple Energy Balls

Caramel Bramley Apple Energy Balls * This post is sponsored by Great British Apples* Quick, easy and healthy no-bake caramel apple energy balls. I love having snacks like these in my fridge for when I have a snack attack, which I usually get on busy days when I'm feeling stressed out and need something to keep me going between meals. They help me avoid reaching out for the biscuits and crisps, which are fine to have every now and then, but most of the time I try to make sure my snacks are as healthy as possible. I like to make a big batch of energy balls and enjoy them as a mid-morning snack with a cup of tea or as [...]

Vegan Peanut Butter Mug Cake A speedy treat for those times when you just want to have a slice of cake! This vegan peanut butter mug cake is really quick, easy and so yummy! This recipe is for anyone who likes cake, peanut butter and lacks patience when it comes to waiting for treats to be prepared. It's all well and good making a cake batter, waiting for it to bake and then waiting for it to cool down before you can finally tuck in. But what if you want a cake RIGHT NOW? Well you wouldn't want to wait, would you? I made this protein chocolate mug cake last year and it was a huge hit! So I thought [...]
