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 […]

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 […]

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

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 […]

Cocoa and Peanut-Butter Truffles

On the last night of our SNAPcut Challenge, I mixed all the peanut butter we had left with judicious amounts of four other ingredients to make these quick, satisfying truffles. The recipe for We Made It Cocoa Peanut-Butter Truffles is supremely easy. These quick treats taste a lot like a homemade version of the famous chocolate peanut-butter cups. […]

Blueberry Pie

Blueberry pie made with fresh berries is one of summer’s finest desserts. My updated version is dairy-free so more people can enjoy it. Wrap the luscious filling in my Sneaky-Wheat Vegan Pie Crust. My Blueberry Pie costs just $2.30 a slice using organic ingredients if you cut it into eighths or $18.37 for the whole […]
