These mocha biscotti are laced with both brewed coffee and ground beans, and peppered with chocolate chips and cacao nibs.
This cake is unassuming on the surface, but don't let that keep you from digging in! The rich spices and complex sweetness of Turkish Spice-Candied Pumpkin combine with slightly nutty Kamut flour and pumpkin seeds for a sensational flavour and texture perfect with an afternoon coffee.
A touch of Grand Marnier amps up the chocolate flavour in this thin sauce. Makes *excellent* cocktails (or chocolate milk!)
Water rice in a pot to boil, add pumpkin (cutted into small pieces), milk, and keep boil until fully cooked. Add sugar or honey, salt.
This pie will knock your socks off! I make it without pie crusts to save LOTS of calories! Recipe makes two pies, six slices per pie. You can, of course, cut it into eight pieces, but it's relatively healthy, so why bother? A nice Christmas alternative to yet another pumpkin pie! Better texture than pumpkin, and you only need three sweet potatoes for two pies!
A touch of walnut oil, minced walnuts and chopped fine chocolate adds a "grownup" feel to these cookies. The secret to their chewy richness is actually in the combination of custard powder and - shhh - mayonnaise!
If you like pina coladas, these biscotti are right up your alley! Made with coconut flour, pineapple juice and a shot of spiced rum, they're perfect with a fruity tea or on their own.
These didn't look much like the photo on Cooking Light's page (http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/cocoa-fud
ge-cookies-10000000226790/), but I didn't tell anyone and they were enjoyed nonetheless. Using flavourful Gold Label coconut oil in place of the butter and a coconut milk yoghurt added extra flavour while whole what pastry flour added a hint of texture and extra nutrition.
Adapted from a WW recipe, I cut the sugar even more with Truvia's baking blend then upped the "chew" factor with a touch of sweet rice flour. Two types of cocoa and chocolate chips sweeten the deal even more!
A friend of mine has a son with celiac as well as allergies to soy, milk and tree nuts. I made a batch of this rollable, flaky pastry so he could have apple pie at the holidays too!
Candying cubes of local Winter squash makes for a divine ice cream or yoghurt topping, part of the filling for a Winter crumble or simply spooning from the jar! Exotic hints of spice bring out even more of the earthy, rich flavours too.
Perfect treat for the holidays - tastes exactly like full calorie version
A very easy and very scrumptious cookie! Adding the cookies to the powdered sugar while they are still warm slightly melts the sugar and makes them even better!!
We love our hearty loaves here, and this molasses-sweetened, whole grain loaf is no exception! With a little tang of sourdough and a little crunch from buckwheat kernels, its a great way to start the morning!
These cookies are vegan thanks to soy cream cheese, earth balance and homemade egg replacer - not to mention accidentally vegan gummies!
The original recipe for Nega Maluca is a Brazilian classic, and is a super-simple chocolate cake. The name can be translated as “Crazy Black Woman” - and it will dye your mouth black if you aren't careful!
I jazzed up the traditional recipe (made with buckwheat flour and cornstarch) by adding chia gel and eggnog for a bit of extra binding and flavour. It takes a while to bake through, but it is worth every agonizing minute!
I wanted to try recreating the rich and varied flavours of cannoli in a free-form loaf... and since my mom prefers almonds over pistachios (not to mention they're WAY cheaper!) I used almond milk, ground almonds and almond extract in the dough along with a healthy dose of ricotta cheese, chocolate shot and Amaretto soaked cherries! Let the celebration begin!
Essentially a hazelnut variation of the Raspberry Ganache Fudge Cake from the book "Ani’s Raw Food Desserts" (Ani Phyo), found on VeganEpicurean - a wickedly sweet carob and date cake with a delicious fudge frosting is totally raw and gives you all the Omega-3s you could ever want!
