Desserts
Chocolate Chia Pudding⎢Gluten-free & Dairy-free
This chia pudding is simple to prepare, gluten-free and dairy-free. It makes a powerhouse breakfast, and you can even call it dessert. I love it, and so does my little girl!
Toasted Coconut Chips
If love Dang Toasted Coconut Chips as much as I do, you will love this recipe. Why go through the trouble of making your own? Because it’s less expensive, super easy, and organic.
Cashew Cream Cheese Frosting
I found this recipe on my new favorite blog, This Rawsome Vegan Life. It’s yummy. And as you know, I’m already obsessed with cashew cream. If you want to experiment with macadamia nuts, those would work well, too.
Paleo Carrot Cake with Goat Cheese Frosting
This was the chosen recipe for my birthday this year… which just happened to coincide with Mother’s Day. I love carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. So we made this paleo version with a vegan cashew cream frosting, using a recipe modified just a bit from The Detoxinista. Gluten free, dairy free and no refined sugar. So I don’t feel bad eating the leftovers for breakfast.
Coconut Whipped Cream
I read a great post about coconut whipped cream on Tasty Yummies, and have been experimenting with it ever since. She was right — the Natural Value or Thai Organics brands make a better product than Native Forest. I like to keep a can of coconut milk in the refrigerator for this recipe. It’s super easy and great with fresh fruit. Think: strawberries + cream. It’s also pretty awesome in coffee.
Soft & Chewy Double Chocolate Cookies
This recipe from PaleOMG for double chocolate cookies is another favorite. Look for gluten-free and dairy-free cocoa powder and chocolate chips. The Enjoy Life brand is good, but I’ve also heard that Costco’s mini chocolate chips are a better value and also allergen friendly. Make sure you read the labels carefully.
Chocolate Orange Truffles
This recipe for chocolate truffles from Practical Paleo is hands-down my favorite dessert recipe. I use a high quality, gluten-free and dairy-free cocoa powder from TCHO. Just make sure you read the labels well and splurge on higher quality ingredients. Coconut butter is meatier than coconut oil, and pretty yummy right out of the jar.
