This little dessert or afternoon tea pastry is just perfect on a beautiful summer day when peaches are in season, and are sweet, ripe and juicy! They are a cross between my Peach Flat Cake and my Orange Polenta Petits Fours. The mixture of ground almonds and stone-ground polenta gives these Peach Almond Polenta Squares a unique texture and flavor that blends so nicely with ... Read More »

This is another variation of my classic apple almond cobbler or peach almond cobbler. The fresh strawberries give out their natural sweet juices while baking with the apples and, combined with the ground hazelnut flour, make this cobbler absolutely sublime! I personally am going to be making this variation for our Thanksgiving feast! 5.0 from 2 reviews Strawberry ... Read More »

Chocolate Hazelnut Pots de Crème
These luscious pots de crème are a no-bake variation of my famous original vegan Crème au Chocolat. They add the sweet nutty taste of hazelnuts!

Of course they are much healthier (not all that added sugar) and sustainable (no palm oil of course) and ... Read More »

I love apples, especially in my dessert, so there is no limit to how many I could create! This Golden Apple Pie is the vegan version of my French Apple Tart.

Vegan Rustic Strawberry Galette
This Vegan Rustic Strawberry Galette is the vegan version of my Rustic Strawberry Galette! OH MY GOODNESS I am so excited that I was able to recreate it so closely to the original, because I have to admit, I thought it just couldn't be done (so glad I was wrong!!). It is just as delicate and luscious--a perfect summer dessert when strawberries are in season! This makes a ... Read More »
Mousse à la Fraise (Vegan)
This little dessert was inspired by Mark Bittman's delicious Strawberry Fool recipe which he calls "minimalist" because it is basically fresh strawberries in season and whipped cream. It occurred to me that I should try to make a vegan version, using whipped aquafaba (or the drained liquid from canned chickpeas!)...and lo and behold....it worked!! I added a little dark rhum ...

Nut Lace Cookies (Vegan)
These crispy delicate cookies are modeled after French lace cookies, typically made with butter, white flour and lots of sugar. Instead, I use ground nuts and whipped up aquafaba or the liquid drained from canned chickpeas (click here to learn more about it, it is brilliant...I wish I had thought of it on my own!!!), so it is completely vegan! I cut down drastically on the ... Read More »
