Chocolate Strawberry Tart
This is perfection for a Summer party or as a vegan or gluten free birthday cake! It takes a little while to set so make sure you start at least 2 hours in advance of when you want to eat it! Rich with nut protein, dates, chocolate and, of course, strawberries, this really hits the spot – cover with edible flowers and leaves and you have a real treat to share. We make this one every year so thought we would share it again!…
Nutty Cluster Munchies
These are delicious!! They make you squeal with delight! Around Christmas time we like to make pan forte as they make great snacks for walking as well as ideal presents. This is a variation on that recipe to make smaller crunchy bites – fab for a walk or a mid morning snack to keep you going. They’re chewy and nutritious and don’t take long to make at all. We tested these out on a crew of friends and they were all gone!!…
Fig Bonbons
You really can make lovely last minute Christmas presents with very little effort! These are delicious snacks – perfect for walks over the festive season and make gorgeous gifts for family and friends. Just blitz together and make into rounds and cover in tasty sesame seeds. Wrap with a pretty ribbon for festive cheer!…
Cherry Chocolate Tart
Quick!! Rush out and pick the cherries before the birds eat them all! Wild and garden cherries are super sweet at this time of year and well worth using for a tasty dessert. They also look like stunning gems on top of chocolate! We have adapted this from our strawberry tart from last time. It’s a no cook recipe but make sure you leave time to set the base in the freezer. Serve the tart as soon as you’ve put on the topping to avoid it going too soggy. Lovely for a Summer treat!…
Sticky Toffee Date Cake
A moist, warm and very tasty cake for either after dinner or as an afternoon tea accompaniment. Dates have so much natural sweetness so lend themselves perfectly to a cake. This is divine when served warm with our “sticky toffee” sauce! …
Last minute vegan gluten free christmas cake!
This is a really handy recipe for a last minute vegan Christmas cake if you didn’t make yours in October! It can also be made in advance and stored well wrapped until you’re ready to decorate it, just before Christmas. This suits many dietary requirements so perfect for whoever turns up at your door over the Festive season!…
Gluten Free Mince Pies
These are great for a gluten free friend as a gift or perfect for all the family when you want to make your own mince pies for a special festive treat. Our mincemeat is sugar free but still sweet and the pastry is short and delicious. Decorate the tops with cut out pastry shapes to make them extra pretty! What better to get you in the festive spirit!…
Date Slices
This is ideal as an afternoon or morning ‘pick me up’ with coffee. Our date slices are gluten free and vegan (we also have a grain free option) and are packed full of fibre and protein to keep you going. Quick to assemble and cook this is a more interesting option than a flapjack and is really very tasty. …
Chocolate Dates
We all sometimes have a moment when we’re cooking for people and can’t really be bothered to make dessert. This is an excellent way of getting out of making a fancy pudding – easy peasy and super speedy! It’s barely a recipe but it really is delish. Serve with coffee after dinner and your guests will be happy anyway!…
