Perfect for Christmas desserts, but for anytime really, this luscious gingerbread ice cream recipe is vegan and incredibly creamy, thanks to a surprise tahini ingredient.
Determined to veganise a pie that I used to whip up without thinking twice in my vegetarian days (especially because it's one of my partner's favourite desserts), I figured it wouldn't be too difficult to swap out a few ingredients to create a dairy-free and egg-free version of Pecan Pie which is every bit as delicious as the traditional recipes.
And this is the result! Pure Yum!!
Ice cream that's healthy? Yes please!

With summer in full swing around here, there's smiles all round when Ice Cream is mentioned. But we wanted to experiment with versions which are lighter and healthier than traditional Ice Cream, which can be made without an Ice Cream maker, as we don't have one.
The result is a variation on our earlier Baked Alaska (without the meringue so therefore it's refined sugar free.) And the outcome? YUM!
Baked Alaska, that favourite, classic dessert featuring layers of ice cream and billowing meringue is updated in this healthier, vegan version.

You know those delightful accidental combinations you often come across because there are some leftovers hanging out in the fridge? Well, this incredibly yummy layered parfait was one of those happy occurrences, where there just happened to be some delicious leftovers of Apple, Quince & Pear Crumble from the dinner party we hosted the night before. We decided to get creative and layered it up with creamy coconut yoghurt, crunchy toasted hazelnut granola, and a drizzle of vibrant organic raspberry coulis, resulting in a truly indulgent treat.
