Fruit & Nut Raw Chocolate
This fruit & nut raw chocolate is made with coconut oil, maple syrup, cacao powder, vanilla extract, sea salt and cinnamon. It’s very easy to make, tastes pretty decent and it’s also dairy free, gluten free and sugar free. This recipe uses pumpkin seeds, pistachios and freeze-dried raspberries as garnish but you can use any …
Raw Blueberry Cheesecake Slice
I did not try this slice because it has cashews and I’m allergic to them, so I will tell you my husband’s opinion about it: the topping was yummy and so was the base, but he wasn’t convinced about the combination of both, mainly because the base tastes like coconut and the topping like blueberry …
Kiwifruit Cashew Mousse Cake
I am not a fan of this kiwifruit cashew mouse cake. The colour of the filling is not very appealing, and I thought the flavour wasn’t that great. Another one of those recipes from the Not-so-Naughty section of the book that I did not enjoy. The good news is I only have 7 left to …
Raw Raspberry Brownie
This raw raspberry brownie is gluten free, dairy free, and sugar free. The sweetness comes from the dates. It also has avocado which gives it a creamy texture. Of course I prefer a gluten full, dairy full, sugar full brownie, but considering this is a recipe from the Not-so-Naughty section of the book, it’s not …
Raw Berry Ice Cream Cake
This raw berry ice cream cake, like the date & cashew caramel slice, is another recipe from the ‘Not-so-naughty’ section of the book that is quite decent, considering it’s gluten-free, dairy-free and refined sugar-free. And it’s a no-bake recipe too! Step by step recipe below and list of ingredients at the end of the post. …
Chocolate Fudge Slice
This chocolate fudge slice was delicious! The recipe makes enough to feed many so feel free to halve it (or quarter it). This is a no bake recipe, and it calls for eggs. Raw eggs may contain Salmonella, which is a type of harmful bacteria. So my suggestion is to NOT use raw eggs (unless …
Raw Chocolate Coconut Bars
I have to be honest, I didn’t enjoy these bars. Something about their texture I just didn’t like, perhaps the coconut oil in the coating, I’m not sure. This recipe is from the ‘Not-so-Naughty’ category in The Great New Zealand Baking Book so I’m not really surprised I wasn’t a fan, considering my past experiences …
Panna Cotta
Panna cotta means “cooked cream”. This gluten-free Italian dessert is made with cream, milk, sugar, vanilla and gelatine. It’s easy to make and delicious. This recipe is in the “Baked Desserts” category in The Great NZ Baking Book even though it doesn’t need to be baked; you only need to simmer the ingredients in a …
Lolly Cake
A lolly cake or lolly log is a New Zealand cake that features lollies (the kiwi word for candy/sweets) as a key ingredient. Lolly cakes can be found in most NZ supermarkets, bakeries and some dairies and petrol stations. Traditionally Eskimo lollies or fruit puffs are used, which are like firm, but soft and chewy marshmallows. It’s a classic kiwi favourite, lots of people …
