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

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!
