Luscious, dark and creamy to perfection! All that with all of 3 ingredients - no need for added sugar, and of course no cream! I serve these individually in little expresso cups for a holiday party and they are absolutely BEAUTIFUL! The only issue is keeping them cold for the evening so I leave it to you to work that out but definitely worth it-- a classic dessert! I have ... Read More »
Vegan Génoise with Chocolate Ganache
A génoise is a French sponge cake, typically made with egg yolks, butter, sugar and white flour. It is a basic building block of a lot of French pastries and, just like a sponge cake, it is just perfect for a layered birthday cake! I made my génoise vegan so you'll find no eggs milk or butter in this batter. I also upgraded it the Cuisinicity way (but of course) with a mix ... Read More »
Chocolate “Fudge” Sauce
Of course, it's not really a fudge sauce but it might as well be! It is dark and chocolaty and creamy and rich just like a fudge sauce should be, but not overly sweet! Notice that I don't add any sugar to the dark chocolate--it's plenty sweet as is. I love to drizzle it on cakes or cupcakes--a little is all it takes! It's delicious and so pretty too! Take a look at the top of ... Read More »
Semolina Cake
Just in time for Easter or just to celebrate the new Spring season, this simple "yellow" cake is light and moist and makes for a lovely dessert! You can "dress it up" with lots of fresh berries, or other fresh diced fruit or just serve it simply with a little drizzle of my homemade Chocolate Fudge Sauce. Either way, I have given it the Cuisinicity touch and made it healthier ... Read More »
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 »
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 ...

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 »
Orchard Peach Pie (Vegan)
WOW...Glorious!! Isn't it spectacular looking? Alright alright, I get a bit carried away with my superlatives, in fact, I "can't stop the feeling" from Justin Timberlake is playing in my head and I am dancing as I speak....but really, this pie makes me happy! This Orchard Peach Pie is the vegan version of my already luscious sweet galettes! It is the quintessential summer ... Read More »
Golden Apple Pie (Vegan)
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. I am amazed that it is almost as rich tasting as my original, which already was nutritious and delicious. The crust is made with white whole wheat flour which is light and delicate but still rich in fiber and white wine ... Read More »
