know it’s only November and it might feel a little early for Christmas recipes, but Christmas is something I’m really looking forward to this year. It hopefully means travel, more freedom and lots of family. This recipe is also the perfect thing to share in November as Cherry season quickly approaches. A couple more weeks and the fresh variety will be readily available, frozen cherries will totally suffice until then.
This entirely vegan mousse is so creamy and luxurious. Sweetened with maple syrup to give it lovely caramel notes, it’s packed full of goodness as well as being delicious.
This crumble is a quick and easy take on banoffee pie. The banana is cooked in maple infused toffee sauce then topped with a brown sugar, oat and coconut crumble. So delicious. So easy.
This slice is next level. My partner said it was like a chocolate bar but better. He was also correct when he described it as like that coconut slice your mum used to make but topped with chocolate mousse. Because that’s 100% it. It’s a super chocolatey version of coconut slice topped with a thick mousse like chocolate coconut ganache. It’s dreamy.
I love this banana bread, it’s richly chocolatey and studded with walnuts. It’s also a very easy one bowl baking project, and who doesn’t love banana bread?!
This is not a health food. But it’s a delicious comfort food, easy to make and requires minimal skill and equipment. Serve it with ice cream as a dessert or sneak pieces to much on as is.
With Easter just around the corner I thought it was time to post something as a nod to what is usually, for me, a family filled holiday. One of my favourite Easter traditions is brunch and these waffles are the perfect addition. Waffles are a family tradition in our house but I’m doing my best to stick to the whole vegan until dinner thing, and this recipe certainly makes it a bit easier!
Easter is so close now and the shops are filled with chocolate and hot cross buns… and I’m way more interested in the chocolate! I often make chocolate mousse for events and have been trying to come up with a dairy and egg free version and I’ve finally nailed it! And there’s no avocado in sight.
The silly season is upon us so I’ll be putting the every week meal plans on hold for the rest of December and spinning out some special holiday lists. Including this sweet one! Next week you’ll get a full Christmas Menu and then there’s a special grazing table number 😉
Now please remember, cookie recipes are never going to be a health food. They can be made with lovely ingredients, be gluten free, lower in sugar and all that jazz but they’re still a treat. And there’s nothing wrong with that! Enjoy your cookies! These cookies are a delight…
