Avocado Citrus Babycakes

Oh, my avocado obsession has reached new levels of craziness! These cakes are sweet, but mildly so, and fresh with lemon and orange zest. The insane green hue comes from the good dose of avocado - and yes, you can taste it, but the flavour is soft rather than offensive. The lemon…

Peppermint Ice Cream with Fudge Sauce

Upon my sister’s request, I decided to make her favourite flavour of ice cream: peppermint. And guess what? No ice cream maker needed! Add more milk to turn this into a delicious thickshake (don’t bother re-freezing). Omit the flaxseed oil if you must (I added it for omega fatty acids,…

Mini chocolate Cake with Ganache

This cake was my Friday-night treat - moist, soft, decadent, and utterly chocolatey! The ganache recipe makes a heap, enough for 3-4 cakes, but I kept the remaining in the fridge and it made a delicious fudge sauce. But I couldn’t post a recipe without avocados, could I? Oh, no.…

Halloween Chocolate Mousse

I have been attempting spiderwebs for some time now, and I have (I think!) finally got the hang of them! Can you guess what the mousse’s main ingredient is? More avocado! Do you think I’m a green monster yet? We recently had a huge stash of ripe avocados donated by…

Almendrado and Chocolate Ice Cream

This ice cream is protein-filled and creamy. The dark chocolate chunks and almond pieces provide crunch and richness, while the almond essence creates a lovely, sweet flavour base. Cottage cheese is full of calcium and protein, as is the yoghurt and milk powder. Ice adds the thickness and texture, and…

Chocolate Coconut Brownies

Flourless, crumbly, moist, and chocolatey? Rich, satisfying, and . . . low-fructose? I love brownies! I’ve made countless batches over the years, starting from the good-old Edmonds Cookbook recipes, to my own variations involving dates, wholemeal flours, ground almonds, and even olive oil. Now, I know how to make healthy,…

Coconut Ice Cream

Okay, so maybe this is more of a frozen yoghurt. But, as with my Peanut Butter Frozen yoghurt, the addition of cream (in this case, coconut cream) makes it hard for me to truly call this a ‘FroYo’. So again, this is an in-betweener! However, that doesn’t matter at all.…

“Nutella”-stuffed Brownie Cakes

These are low(ish)-carb, high-fibre, and full of satisfying fats. Chocolatey to the extreme, crumbly, and moist, these are somewhere between dense brownie, cake, and fudge! I drizzled mine with a chocolate sauce (melted coconut oil, cocoa powder, and dextrose), but they are perfectly delicious plain, too. In fact, these are…

Molten Chocolate cake with Peanut Butter Cream

Doesn’t this look just like a decadent dessert? With fluffy, soft cake surrounding a gooey chocolate centre, you may be surprised that I ate it for . . . breakfast! Now, before you start thinking I’m crazy, give me a chance to explain. This cake is high-protein, low-carb, and full…

Avocado, Peppermint, and Chocolate Smoothie

I didn’t feel bad about having a thick, chocolate-y, peppermint-flavoured shake for breakfast this morning. Nope. Not at all! With lutein to protect against eye degeneration, 25 essential nutrients, healthy and satiating fats, anti-inflammatory properties, and an ability to regulate blood sugar levels, avocados are one of my FAVOURITE foods!…
