No-Bake Mint Mousse Pie

by

In honor of St. Patricks Day, I decided to create something green…because that is what us non-Irish people do for this holiday right? 

Last year I posted a green mint smoothie bowl on my Instagram for today, but I wanted to step up my game and create a delicious dessert that you can indulge on any day. 

A super creamy, airy, and fresh mint filling paired with a dark chocolate brownie crust isn’t as complicated as you think. No oven required just a blender and a freezer. …

Vegan Carrot Cake (Moist & Fluffy)

by

My dad’s birthday is in about a month and I wanted to create his favorite cake…Carrot cake. I gotta say it’s one of my favorites too, along with double chocolate cake…I have a slight obsession with chocolate. 

This carrot cake is everything you can ask for moist, but still fluffy. Sweet, but not overly sweet (not like that artificial junk). It is also 100% vegan, so you don’t need to feel overly guilty about eating a slice. …

Pumpkin Tiramisu Parfait

by

I was brainstorming fall recipes the other day for the upcoming season, and I came across a Pumpkin Spice Syrup from Oh She Glows and I immediately ran to the kitchen to see if I had all the ingredients. 

Let me tell you…..this recipe is definitely a staple for me now for fall.

I had the great idea to use it in this pumpkin tiramisu recipe as a layer in the parfait. The syrup was soaked up nicely by the spiced vanilla cake, and I couldn’t stop eating it!…

Vegan Raspberry Vanilla Bean Cheesecake

by

I recently went raspberry picking and have been meaning to make recipes using them! I have made two recipes so far: raspberry crumble, and this cheesecake. Both have turned out amazing! 

The internet is filled with vegan cheesecakes that happen to be raw. Their main ingredients are usually coconut milk. This recipe somewhat falls under that category, but don’t let it scare you away! This cheesecake is coconut-free, super creamy, and of course delicious! …

Peaches are finally nice and ripe where I live and that means that I need to start coming up with ways to cook/bake with them. The first idea that popped into my mind? Grilled peaches! Who knew that you could grill peaches…funny idea right?

They are too die for…let me tell you! Paired with a decadent vanilla bean cream and a tangy balsamic dressing…the perfect combination. 

This recipe is a lot easier than you think, so don’t get fooled by the fancy names!…

S’mores Bars | A Healthier Version

by

You know what one of the best parts about summer is?? The food of course! One of my favorite being s’mores….yeah I know not the healthiest! Ever since going vegan it has been quite hard to find vegan marshmallows. They are out there, but only carried in specialty supermarkets and are a bit pricey. One step down from your traditional smores’ is a smores’ bar! 

I have seen these everywhere from pinterest and instagram to magazines.  These are an easier and more indulgent way to enjoy the delicious combination of graham cracker, chocolate, and toasted marshmallow. 

So I decided….how exactly would I be able to “healthify” a s’mores bar?…

Caramel Vanilla Bean Cookie Slices (Gluten-free, Refined-sugar free)

by

I was a bit hesitant on making this recipe, as I have never experiment with gluten-free baking before, but it turned out way better than I expected! These Caramel Vanilla Bean Cookie Slices are too die for and I was holding myself back from eating the whole batch. 

The vanilla bean in the cashew filling is so rich and decadent that it pairs perfectly with the blondie. The date caramel filling is actually leftovers from my last recipe I posted!…
