Last week marked the first of June and therefore beginning of Winter here in New Zealand. And with a bang, it suddenly was (like) winter. Well, not what
Desserts & Sweets
Ice cream, mousse, cake, muffins and more. Here are lots of recipe ideas for desserts, sweets and treats that are vegan and gluten-free with oil-free and fruit-sweetened options.
No-Bake Kiwifruit Vanilla Slices (Vegan, Gluten-free, No Refined Sugar)
It’s kiwifruit season here in New Zealand! While I’m not a fan of those sickly sweet golden kiwifruits, I’m a real sucker for the green variety with its slight tangy flavour. These furry little things are a real super food, bursting with vitamin C and many other important minerals and vitamins.
No Bake Chocolate Energy Bars (Vegan, Gluten-free, Nut-free)
This recipe is based on a crust that I have created for a completely nut-free, raw cake (stay tuned!). I realized that it also makes for delicious energy bars.
Mint & Chocolate Ice-Pops (Vegan, Gluten-free, Nut-free Option)
Yes, I do love frozen treats! And I don’t necessarily pay attention to what kind of season it is, when it comes to enjoying them 😉
Cookies & “Cream” Ice Dream (Vegan, Gluten-free, Nut-free Option)
While it is officially autumn here, we still have beautiful, sunny days in NZ. As long as I get one or two sun rays landing on my nose, I will not store the ice-cream maker away 😉
Say It With Chocolate Cookies (Vegan, Gluten-free, Nut-Free, No Added Oil)
Mothers Day is close and most of us know how nice it is to give mom a heartfelt gesture of love, appreciation and thankfulness.
Flour-Less 6 Ingredient Dark Chocolate Cookies (Vegan, Gluten-free, Grain-free, No Added Oil)
The other week I had a very interesting conversation with a mom whose kid has several food allergies, that includes gluten, nuts, grains or legumes. This made me quite thoughtful and it also motivated me to create a recipe that would be suitable.
Coffee Chocolate Ice-Pops (Vegan, Gluten-free, No Refined Sugar, Nut-free Option)
We had a beautifully sunny weekend! A good excuse to pretend that it isn’t autumn yet and a frozen treat would be just fine 🙂
No-Bake Lime Strawberry Cake (Vegan, Gluten-free, No Refined Sugar)
Winter is on its way here in New Zealand. And with it comes a whole heap of new seasonal fruit and vege! Limes signal the new citrus season.
