Chocolate Pudding with Oat Milk

October 6, 2020 by Linda Watson 2 Comments

This creamy chocolate pudding uses oat milk for dairy-free creaminess. I used to whisk up pudding nearly every week, but after going vegan none of the plant-milk options measured up. Then I tried oat milk, and it’s like old times! Actually, even better, because the pudding is healthier, kinder, and better for the planet. I […]

Capture summer flavors and bakery-level indulgence with these chocolate cupcakes. You’ll notice the fresh fragrance of basil before you take your first bite. Enjoy the unexpected pairing of vanilla, basil, chocolate, and a hint of cardamom. Take another bite to reach the zip of raspberry filling. My Taster says the raspberry ties the other flavors […]

Candy-Bar Brownie Pie with Nicecream

Candy Bar Brownie Pie looks like a fancy dessert, especially when paired with a tasty nicecream like So Delicious Cashewmilk Salted Caramel Cluster or Very Vanilla. This recipe shows a few tricks for adapting to our current ingredient shortages. I chopped up a candy bar because I couldn’t find chocolate chips. I also used whole […]

Carrot Cake with Tangy Frosting

Carrot cake with frosting

I’ve updated my carrot cake recipe by adding a tangy frosting that tastes like a cream-cheese frosting, but with ingredients that may be easier to get. The cake is moist and spicy, with flecks of orange carrot. The healthy ingredients include plenty of carrots (surprise!), fresh ginger, white whole wheat flour, and very little oil. […]

Almond Thumbprint Cookies with Jam and Chocolate

Almond thumbprint cookies with jam and chocolate chips

These quick, high-protein cookies combine three of my favorite flavors: shortbread, raspberry, and chocolate. Because they are wheat-free, dairy-free, and egg-free, they avoid many allergy and dietary issues. Their fat, protein, and fiber content makes them filling, so they work well after a light meal. This could be just the recipe you need to delight […]

Vegan Mini-Pavlovas

December 29, 2019 by Linda Watson Leave a Comment

vegan mini-pavalova topped with whipped coconut cream and fresh fruit

Mini-Pavlovas get an A+ as a fancy dessert. Scrumptious, fun, photogenic, unusual, make-ahead, thrifty, and allergen-free. These beauties are vegan, gluten-free, and have only as much oil as are in the toppings you add. They taste sweetly indulgent, but the bases have only 38 calories each. I topped mine with banana slices, blueberries,  whipped coconut […]
