I had two goals for this dessert. I wanted to make a dessert that was heavier than a cake, yet lighter than a brownie; with less sugar than the average applesauce cake. I used agave syrup, blended stevia powder, and some homemade applesauce. It came out between a good brownie and a bread pudding; moist, but not wet. This recipe is dair-free, but not egg-free.

Do you have any apples that you do not want to waste? Make some delicious homemade applesauce with this easy recipe. You can make a great dessert with it, eat it plain, or even top your ice cream. My specific goal for this recipe was to make just enough applesauce for a gluten-free applesauce coffee pudding cake which I will post next.

This recipe is very moist, yet not too heavy. It is flaky, like regular carrot cake. All that and it’s oil-free, milk-free, and sugar-free. It contains eggs. Those who cannot tolerate corn should be aware that xanthan gum is derived from corn, though some manufacturers state that the corn sugars are removed in processing. You may consider using guar gum instead. This far surpasses my carrot muffin recipe that I posted previously. I cut a piece to take a photo, but once I felt the texture I ate it instead (laugh)! It is adapted from a Carrot Cake Recipe thay used to be published on All Recipes website. Continue reading “Gluten Free Carrot Cake (Sugar-Free)”
I just posted my Chocolate Potato Truffles Recipe and was pleasantly surprised to find the texture of the filling to be very similar to the traditional ricotta cannoli filling, but this filling contains walnuts. If you’re looking for different cannoli filings, this is a great alternative! Often one adds chopped pistachio nuts at the ends of the cannoli, therefore I used chopped walnuts on these. The walnuts in the filling make a good substitute for the chopped chocolate in the traditional cannoli filling, but you can also use chocolate if you wish. I have recently used gluten free chocolate mousse as a filling on Easter and everyone really enjoyed it. I’ve also used Orgran’s Chocolate Mousse and with added powdered sugar and cocoa. My husband loved it and I know the rest of my family went crazy over this one. I sent the photo below to my sister ahead of time to make her drool! It worked!

I was watching “Paula’s Home Cooking” on The Food Network channel the other day, and Paula showed how to make Chocolate Covered Potato Eggs (for Easter). Her recipe had a white filling and inspired this chocolate truffle recipe with walnuts I just created. My favorite See’s Easter egg has a chocolate cream and walnut filling, therefore, this is what I made today. I added cocoa powder and walnuts; substituted stevia and agave syrup for the powdered sugar; and changed its shape into the typical round truffle. This is a healthier truffle recipe than most. I dipped some in chocolate and froze them; rolled others in unsweetened cocoa powder; and others in walnuts. My husband found it hard to believe it contained mashed potatoes. Give this recipe a try. It tastes great and is so fun to make! Continue reading “Healthy Sugar-Free Gluten Free Chocolate Truffles”
Cannoli is a Sicilian dessert consisting of a crispy tube shell filled with sweet ricotta cheese filling. My aunt would make several variations for special occasions. You can add dried fruit, glazed cherries, pistachio nuts, or chocolate chips to the filling or use as garnish. They make you feel as if you were in Italy. Continue reading “Gluten Free Cannoli Shells”
This recipe is dairy free, refined sugar-free and additive-free. I love pistachio ice cream but have had trouble thinking of a way to make it green without using artificial food coloring. I recently learned that avocados may be used as a substitute for eggs. Do you see where this is going? A raw avocado ice cream recipe made with almond milk, but instead of using vanilla extract, as some may have thought, I used almond extract. Just delicious! It also contains agave syrup. Check out my recipe below. Continue reading “Raw Almond Pistachio Avocado Ice Cream”
This gluten free onion rings recipe is sweetened with stevia, salted with sea salt and dairy- free. UPDATE: I now use Gluten Free Chef Rob’s recipe which calls for gluten-free beer. However, you can make it almost just as good using sparkling water. It just has a little less flavor and you have to fry them longer to make them crispy. They’re super crispy! Here’s the link – Tri-Spiced Gluten Free Onion Rings with Dipping Sauce.

I made this gluten free chili without tomatoes because I have a tomato allergy. I also made this chili without beans and is gluten-free. I miss the sweetness that tomatoes bring to a good chili recipe, but I found a way to sweeten it up this recipe without tomatoes. It can be made as mild or hot as you wish. Just skip the cheese topping and it will be dairy free, too. My husband and I really enjoyed this gluten free chili recipe and hope that you will, too!

I had purchased some hemp seeds a few months ago when I was watching one of Ani Phyo’s Raw Food Kitchen videos, but since I am already adding hemp protein I feel that I do not need them in my morning protein shake. I also made the mistake by ordering hemp seeds still in their shells and they also were not raw but heated. They are so tiny, I could not possibly shell them myself. I needed a use for them and found it, a hemp milk recipe! I am sure you can make the same recipe with raw hemp seeds, too. Continue reading “Hemp Milk Recipe”
