Vegan Banana’s Foster Truffles
I had a bunch of ripe bananas on hand that I had picked up for free, and although I made some banana cookies, and cut some up for smoothies, I still had some I wanted to use for something besides just eating. I decided to make some banana’s foster truffles. I was recently looking through […]
Banana Hazelnut Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
Over-ripe bananas are a good problem to have. I mean, you can cut them up and freeze them for smoothies or nice cream, or make some banana bread or cake, or mash them and make pancakes. I had gotten some over-ripe bananas from work, and I wanted to make something delicious with them besides all […]
Vegan Chocolate Strawberry Scones
I am so happy it is finally getting comfortably warm outside! Eric and I went for a walk in the afternoon around the Stone Arch area of Minneapolis last weekend and it was so warm that I wore shorts and a tank top and was even sweating a little despite the breeze. Let me tell […]
Mini Avocado Lime Cream Tartlettes
I had a bag of limes on my counter just waiting to be used for something and key lime pie sounded really good, but I didn’t want to make a giant key lime pie just for myself and it seemed like maybe a lot of work for the energy level I had at the time. […]
Vegan Coconut Macadamia Carrot Cake with White Chocolate Frosting
This year for Easter, I decided to make carrot cake. How original, I know but there is nothing wrong with sticking with tradition. You know what tradition I miss? When everyone used to get all dressed up for Easter. I know some parents dress up their little kids all fancy, but I feel like the […]
Vegan Matcha Waffles
I am obsessed with matcha tea. I drink it every day at work in chilled form unadorned, and on the weekends I like to enjoy a matcha latte at a coffee shop. It is my treat lately since I usually make stuff like that at home, but I do enjoy when someone else makes it […]
Matcha Coconut Easter Nests
I love making Easter candy, and so when my Mom asked if I could make some white chocolate macaroon Easter nests I was all for it! I remember people always used to make them back in the day (they probably still do but I am out of the “normal” non-vegan food loop), and they were […]
40+ Vegan Easter Dessert Recipes
When I was little, my Mom used to host Easter brunch. We would have quite the spread, and although most of it was delicious, my favorite things were always the sweets. Like the caramel rolls, and the Swedish rice ring with raspberry sauce, and of course the candy that was in the eggs I found […]
Vegan Key Lime Sugar Cookies
I have always loved anything key lime. Key lime pie was one of my favorite desserts growing up, because I loved the balance of tart and sweet in the creamy filling, and just the heavenly aroma of the limes. I still feel the same way, and the scent of lime reminds me of summer and […]
Maple Almond Chocolate Mousse Tart
When I was in high school, my friend gave me a dessert book, and some of the recipes in it quickly became staples. One of which was a super simple chocolate mousse. You just whipped up chilled heavy cream, then poured melted dark chocolate into it while whisking and it created the most deliciously rich […]
Double Hazelnut Chocolate Truffles
You know what always makes me happy? the aroma of nuts roasting in the oven. they always smell amazing and they are just begging to be snacked on as soon as they are cool enough to not burn you. Sometimes I am a little hasty I admit and I do end up burning my mouth. […]
Vegan Chocolate Beet Cake
I had two leftover beets from another dish I had made and I thought about juicing them because beet juice is amazing and packed with good nutrients, but you know what sounded even better than juice? Cake. Which was the other thing I was thinking of making with that beet. Cake almost always wins when […]
