Super quick post for this Sunday and it’s all about an quick and easy, healthier treat. Delicious almond cranberry cookies, that are not only gluten free but also without refined sugar. These cookies have a buttery soft texture that melts in your mouth, you can eat them warm or let them cool down before serving. They have a little sweetness from cranberries and a spoonful […]
Fresh and creamy sugar-free vanilla mousse cake with blackberries on a gluten-free quinoa & almond base. This is a quick and easy dessert to whip up in just 20 minutes. You can also think of it as an alternative way of using leftover quinoa – in a cake base! Just under 10 ingredients, simple steps, no bake time and chilling for an hour will do, interested […]
I was recently in Finland and as I walked in the local stores in Helsinki I could not help but notice how superfoods are everywhere these days. Magazines lists benefits and feature recipes, health food section boosts beautifully packed powerfoods or superfoods and then there’s the healthy snacks! I even won a healthy raw choc brownie bar by rolling the dice in eco store Ruohonjuuri – […]
A healthy recipe to end the month of January 🙂 I was positively surprised on how delicious these mini cherry pies without dairy, eggs or refined sugar turned out and couldn’t wait longer to share the recipe with you. This recipe was born from the request of our tea guests on Friday night – my father-in-law asked for a dairy free dessert preferably without sugar. So […]
Second last day of the month and for now this will be the last sugar free recipe, as I’m actually quite excited to get my hands into sugar work again 😀 . These carrot & coconut whoopies are sweetened with maple syrup and honey, they are soft cakey cookies filled with sweet cream cheese. The amount of spices used in the recipe brings a little […]
Making croissants from scratch might sound like a lot of work but actually it isn’t and they contain very basic ingredients. Time and technique is what you need when making these multi layered buttery bites . The layers are formed by a layer of cold butter in between the dough, folded multiple times in the process. The dough needs to stay cold while you work with it and the […]
It’s been really hot in here lately, temperature rising close to 40 degrees of celsius in Tel Aviv! As you may guess going outside in this weather is like standing in the oven and I have for the very reason been cooking and baking less lately, avoiding using the oven and eating more fresh and cold produce. So also this recipe is a no-bake, quick […]
A quick post about an easy dessert that takes less than 30 minutes and is the best enjoyed hot from the oven with cold side such as vanilla ice cream or whipped cream – a Chocolate Soufflé. Souffles can be prepared ahead of time, refrigerated and baked when you are ready, which is especially great if you are preparing dessert for a bigger crowd. This version is made […]
The idea for these mini no-bake cheesecakes simply came from the need of a tasty little treat for our Friday afternoon coffee. It was the 7th day of the ongoing sugar free August, which is by the way going great! Summer is naturally sweet time. Back in Finland I’d be picking blueberries, forest strawberries and raspberries in the nature and going to the outdoor markets to get the world’s […]
Back to basics, crepes – the thinner and lighter version of pancakes. I actually make all my crepes batters sugar free but added some chocolate flavour in these by using unsweetened cocoa powder. They taste delicious with whipped cream flavoured with vanilla bean and sweetened with spoonful of granulated stevia, served with raspberries. Now let me tell you about this amazing crepes pan I recently got […]
Yummy soft bread cones that you can enjoy with any filling you like, but what does making bread cones have to do with roasting carrots? Using carrots as the bread cone mould has the advantage of having two dishes baked at once (brilliant, right?) and regardless of your bread cone filling, roasted carrots make a nice side dish! Alternatively you could use cream horn moulds or make […]
This is the most simple, yet amazingly delicious dessert I’ve ever made and I am so happy to share it with you! Apart from the beautiful green apple that serves as the bowl, the recipe only has 2 ingredients! There are no artificial flavourings, colours or added sweeteners. This apple ice cream is simply churned mixture of applesauce and cream. You could add a dash of cinnamon […]
SunGold and Green Kiwis – ah what a bliss. I had written kiwifruits to our grocery list and to my surprise found both yellow and green and it pretty much made my day. 🙂 This dessert is not only healthier because it’s free of refined sugars, but thanks to the kiwifruit it’s packed with nutrients such as Vitamin C, E and dietary fiber. I found a […]
Easy savoury recipe for this Sunday, as it’s for Sugar Free Sunday it has a bit of granulated Stevia which if you can substitute with same amount of granulated sugar. Focaccia is my favourite Italian bread and I love how you can take different directions with it by changing toppings. This bread also takes all kinds of forms and shapes. I was kind of in […]
I’m currently visiting my family in Finland and naturally taking some time off from baking. I do still like to whip up something quick for everyone to enjoy together. This cake roll is sweetened with natural Finnish honey in both batter and the filling. I used frozen berries that actually melt in just a few minutes on a sunny counter. The cake may easily get […]
And we got a new favourite sugar free dessert in the house! Actually not only a delicious light lemony dessert – had one as breakfast this morning and it lightened my day until afternoon. My husband had one as he returned from work and he would not stop telling me how much he loves this one – he is not a huge fan of sweets […]
Soft shortcrust base with berrylicious & milky almond filling, sweetened with granulated stevia. I used a mix of sweet and sour berries: frozen blueberries, currants, boysenberries, raspberries and strawberries. Fresh berries would do wonderful too and I’m planning to give it a try with cloudberries as soon as I find some. With this Sugar Free Sunday piece of tart I wish all moms out there a very […]
