✨Homemade Almond Joy Bars✨ Almond Joy bars used to be my favorite candy when I was younger, and I wanted to recreate my own vegan version. They are actually so easy to make on your own at home!🤍 ✨Ingredients 3 cups unsweetened shredded coconut flakes (175g) 1 can sweetened condensed coconut milk (7.4 oz) 1 cup dark chocolate chips about 10 almonds ✨Directions Add the coconut flakes and sweetened condensed coconut milk to a bowl and mix them well. Scoop up a small handful of the coconut mixture and shape it into a bar. Place an almond on top and press it down into the coconut mixture gently. You should get about 10 bars. You can place the bars in the fridge to harden for 20-30 minutes if they are on the softer side. Melt the chocolate and dip each bar into it. You can cover the whole bar in chocolate like a traditional Almond Joy, or you can dip the bottom of the bar into the chocolate and drizzle more chocolate on top if you want a more decorative look. Place the bars in the fridge until the chocolate hardens, then enjoy! #dessert #baking #healthyrecipes #snack

✨🍓Berry Baked Oat Bars🍓✨ These delicious fruity baked oats are loaded with all the healthy nutrients and make for the best breakfast😍 ✨Ingredients 1 cup oats (80 g) 1/2 cup oat flour (ground up oats- 40 g) 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder 1 cup mashed banana (about 2 large ripe bananas) 1/4 cup creamy natural peanut butter 2-4 tbsp maple syrup* 1/3 cup dairy-free milk 1 tbsp ground flax seeds 1 tsp baking powder 2 tsp vanilla extract 1/2 tsp salt 1 cup mixed berries (+ more to top) *Note: add 2 tbsp of maple if you prefer less sweetness and up to 4 for sweeter bars. ✨Directions In a large bowl, mash up the bananas. Then add the peanut butter, maple syrup, milk, flax, baking powder, vanilla, salt, oats, and oat flour. Mix everything well until combined. Fold in the berries.

✨Chocolate Crepe Cake✨ This crepe cake is the perfect treat to make for a weekend brunch, a birthday, or just because🥰 The delicate chocolatey crepes are stacked between a creamy filling of vegan cream cheese and a sweet and tangy raspberry spread🍓 For the best raspberry spread made with real fruit and without cane sugar and preservatives, I used @stdalfourusa 🥰 ✨Cake 2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour (320 g) 1/4 cup sugar 1/4 cup cornstarch 1/4 cup cocoa powder 3 1/3 cups dairy-free milk 2 tbsp neutral oil 1 tsp vanilla 1/2 tsp salt ✨Layers @stdalfourusa Red Raspberry Fruit Spread vegan cream cheese ✨Top 1/2 cup vegan heavy whipping cream 1/4 cup vegan cream cheese 1/4 cup powdered sugar 1 tsp vanilla ✨Directions In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa, cornstarch, salt, milk, oil, and vanilla. Combine all of the ingredients well until you have a runny batter. Lightly grease a pan and turn the heat to medium. Scoop up a ladle of batter and pour the batter into the pan (about 1/4 cup at a time). As soon as you have poured the batter, grab the pan by the handle and swirl the pan so that the batter is evenly distributed in a thin layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another minute on the other side. Repeat for all of your pancakes. Once the crepes have cooled, start layering them on a large plate. Spread a layer of @stdalfour red raspberry fruit spread on top of the first layer of chocolate crepe, then add a layer of vegan cream cheese on top of the next layer, and alternate until you run out of crepes. On top of the cake, I added the homemade whipped cream and fresh berries. Dig in and enjoy!🥰 #desserts #baking #recipe

✨🍋Lemon Bars🍋✨ These lemon bars are tangy & sweet, and just about the most perfect spring dessert you can make🤩 They are so creamy, but made entirely vegan and also gluten-free!🥰 They are so easy to make too, and are sure to impress anyone that you make them for🤍 ✨Crust Ingredients 2 cups all-purpose flour (I used 1:1 gluten-free flour) 1 cup vegan butter 1/2 cup maple syrup 2 tsp vanilla extract 1/2 tsp salt ✨Lemon Bar Ingredients 1 cup coconut cream* 1/2 cup soaked cashews* 1/2 cup lemon juice 2 tsp lemon zest 1/2 cup maple syrup 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1 tsp vanilla extract 1/3 cup cornstarch pinch of salt pinch of turmeric (optional, for color) *Coconut cream: refrigerate a can of coconut milk overnight. Then when you open the can, scoop out just the solid part that has formed on the top & measure out one cup of this. *Cashews: soak the cashews overnight in water to soften them. If you forget, you can also soak them in boiling hot water for 1-2 hours. ✨Directions Start by preparing the crust. Combine all of the crust ingredients in a large bowl & mix. Line a square baking pan with parchment paper & grease it with oil. Transfer the crust ingredients to the baking pan & press them down into an even layer. Bake the crust for 15-20 min at 350*F, until the edges of the crust are golden brown. Use a fork to poke holes all around the baked crust. Don't poke all the way to the bottom of the crust, just about halfway. To make the filling, combine the coconut cream, cashews, lemon juice & zest, maple, sugar, vanilla, cornstarch, salt, and turmeric to a blender. Blend until smooth. Transfer the lemon filling to a saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously & cook for 4-6 minutes, until the mixture starts to significantly thicken. Once it has thickened, pour it on top of the crust & level the top. Refrigerate the lemon bars overnight, or for at least 4-6 hours, until the filling hardens fully. Once they are ready, slice the bars, dust some powdered sugar on top, & enjoy! #desserts #baking #springrecipes

🍪🥐Cookie Croissant🥐🍪 Do you guys remember the cookie croissant trend?! It's so fun and easy to make and is such an indulgent treat🤤 I made this version vegan of course, and I’ve listed the specific products I used below! It might not be as helpful if you’re not located in the US bc these are very US specific :/ but I hope you can find vegan croissants and cookie dough in your area either way! Or you can also make my homemade cookie dough that I have shared on my site if you search “chocolate chip cookies”💕 ✨Ingredients vegan croissants (I got mine at @wholefoods from their bakery section) vegan chocolate chip cookie dough (I used @sweetloren) ✨Optional Toppings melted dark chocolate almond slices powdered sugar ✨Directions Slice the croissant in half "hamburger style". Place cookie dough on the bottom half of the croissant and flatten it out. Close the croissant and flatten another piece of cookie dough on top of the croissant. Bake the croissant cookie for 12-15 minutes at 350F. Drizzle melted chocolate on top and add sliced almond and powdered sugar on top, if you wish! #baking #dessert #easyrecipe

✨🫐🍋Blueberry Lemon Scones✨🫐🍋 Scones are one of the best coffee shop treats and with spring coming, I wanted to share this bright and fruity flavor, but make them vegan🥰 ✨Scones 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour (280 g) 1 tbsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt 1/3 cup granulated sugar (67 g) lemon zest from 1 lemon (about 1 tbsp) ½ cup cold unsalted vegan butter (115 g, cut into cubes)* ¾ cup canned coconut milk* 2 tsp vanilla extract 1 cup fresh blueberries ✨Icing 1/4 cup vegan cream cheese 4-5 tbsp powdered sugar 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (the juice from the lemon that we zested above) 1/2 tsp vanilla a pinch of salt ✨Notes *Make sure that the butter is very cold. I even like to place mine in the freezer for about an hour before making this recipe. *Use canned coconut milk as opposed to regular dairy-free milk as this gives a thicker consistency and acts as our heavy cream replacement. ✨Directions To a bowl, add the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and lemon zest and mix those well. Next, add in the cold butter that you've cut into cubes and use your fingers to mix the butter with the flour mixture. You don't have to break up all of the clumps! It's good to have some clumps of butter that melt as the scones bake. Add in the blueberries and coconut milk and combine them with the rest of the ingredients. Flour a surface, and dump the scones mixture on top. Use your hands to shape the mixture into a circle that's about 2 inches thick in height. Cut the circle into 8 equal pieces and place each on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush coconut milk on each of the scones then bake for 18-20 minutes at 400F, until they are golden on top. While the scones are baking, whisk up the icing ingredients. Once the scones are done baking and *fully* cooling, drizzle the icing on top and enjoy! #desserts #baking #breakfast #snack

✨🤎Vegan Tiramisu🤎✨ Tiramisu is one of my favorite desserts of all time, and this vegan version never disappoints🥰 ✨Cream Filling 21 oz of firm tofu drained from all the water (about 1 1/2 blocks of tofu) 1 cup vegan cream cheese (8 oz) 2/3 cup white granulated sugar 1/3 cup dairy-free milk 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice 1 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract a pinch of salt ✨Other Ingredients about 20 vegan ladyfingers (check my website for a recipe. Alternatively, you can use store-bought plain vegan cookies.) 1 cup warm water 2 tbsp instant espresso powder 2 tbsp rum (optional) cacao powder or cocoa powder for dusting on top ✨Directions Open the packages of tofu and drain all of the water. Use a paper towel or kitchen towel to press out all of the water from the tofu. Then add it to a food processor. Add the rest of the cream ingredients to a blender and blend until super creamy and smooth. Set the filling aside. In a separate bowl, add the warm water, then whisk in the espresso powder and rum. Dip each ladyfinger into the coffee & rum mixture for a few seconds on each side. Then lay each ladyfinger in a baking dish. I used a 9 x 9 inch pan. Once the whole bottom layer is covered in ladyfingers, pour half of the cream mixture on top of the ladyfingers and spread in an even layer. Dust a generous layer of cocoa powder on top of the cream filling. Now layer another layer of ladyfingers on top of the cream, top with the remainder of the cream filling, and another generous layer of cocoa powder. Refrigerate the tiramisu overnight to allow all of the flavors to absorb and the ladyfingers to soften. Take it out the next day, slice it, and enjoy! #baking #dessert #vegan
