Don’t you love no-bake recipes? A bit of mixing, maybe some refrigeration, and . . . BAM! A delicious treat you can whip up in minutes, no oven required. Of course, it doesn’t have the texture of ‘normal’ cookies. None of that dry crispiness – this thing is chewy, sweet, and…
Excessive? Yes. Delicious? Oh, yes! Okay, so the chocolate chips inside are optional. You can simply cover the cookies entirely in chocolate, as pictured below. But why would you? A negligible amount of fructose from the 90% chocolate isn’t on the top of my worry list. Besides, the small sprinkling…
I may be a secret-keeper for my friends, but not for brownies. Not that I don’t love them dearly – I do! I simply hold you in higher regard. So what’s the secret behind this irresistible texture, the moistness and healthiness? Aha, but not yet. Let me first entice you…
Good, old fashioned, buttery cookies. Soft and sweet, with a crispy crust – just the way they should be! The purists out there who insist on – and it pains me to write it – hard cookies, well, they may be skeptical. You know what I say to that? Cookies should be…
Fudgy, moist, and pudding-like, these ‘brownies’ are la bomba! Kumara acts as a glorious filler for this dessert, providing fibre, beta-carotene, and healthy carbohydrates. Combine this with some more fibre-rich coconut flour, and the need for refined white flour is gone! Do not expect the regular brownie texture for these.…
Soft, buttery, vanilla-scented cupcakes made spritzy with lemon and crunchy with poppyseeds. Top them with some creamy cheesecake frosting . . . hungry yet? I actually planned to make these with standard plain flour, but my pantry disagreed. I feel almost criminal for not having this staple on hand! Then…
This recipe is dedicated to JK. Rock on cookie dough! Chickpea cookie dough is pretty fabulous. What makes it better? Eating it for breakfast! I added some coconut flour for extra fibre, and a dollop of yoghurt of healthy probiotics and calcium. Feel free to substitute the yoghurt with extra…
I think the title describes these pretty well. Chewy, fluffy, caramelised marshmallow meringues coated in a double layer of dark chocolate. Satisfied? You won’t be after eating just one! There is always that dreaded moment after making custard: what do you do with the egg whites? They’re so boring and…
I’m not a big cashew fan, I’ve got to admit. I always pick them out of bags of mixed nuts to give to my sister, who adores them. But when she’s not home, I’m left with hoarded cashews which have to be used up! I pity myself. Of course, these…
After my success with a microwaved, “Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie” (see my recipe in “Desserts”), I decided to make a simpler – though equally delicious – and more traditional version. Some people cannot get through weird cookie flavour variations, and they stick to the good old chocolate chip. Sweet,…
