Crème au Chocolat (Vegan)
These remind me of French "Petits Pots de Crème au Chocolat" from my childhood in France! Typically, these petits Pots are made with dark chocolate, heavy cream, egg yolks and sugar. Of course I have revamped them, Cuisinicity style, while keeping their rich creamy texture and luscious flavor. I have done away with the heavy cream, the eggs and...even the added sugar!! The ...

Silky Chocolate Pudding
Let me begin by saying this: AMAZING! Why? ...Because although this chocolate pudding tastes luscious and creamy enough to be an elegant dessert, I actually created it as a quick-no-cook-just mix-in-your-blender after-school power snack for the kids! I use organic silken soft tofu as my base, and even add pureed black lentils and plain unsweetened soy milk to the mixture so ... Read More »

Pumpkin Banana Date Muffins (Vegan)
These little muffins are filled with goodness! They are naturally sweetened with pumpkin, banana, dates and 1 tablespoon of organic honey--no need for added sugar!

Cocoa Oat Almond Shake (Vegan)
If you love deep dark chocolate, you will absolutely love this Cocoa Oat Almond Shake! It goes down so smooth and it's so good for you!! There is no added sugar--the sweetness comes from the ripe frozen banana and the medjool date, but interestingly, you don't really taste either. It just tastes decadently chocolaty rich and creamy! Of course, that richness has nothing ... Read More »

When peaches are in season, these scones are a must: they spell sunny lazy summer morning!

They are vegan and have no added sugar–the sweetness comes ... Read More »

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