    COOKIES N CREAM PANCAKES

    The ice cream festivities must come to an end and I am ending it off on a light note. No pun intended. Light and fluffy pancakes without any egg, milk or butter insight. Cookies and cream is such a classic combination. So it was no surprise that my whole family loved this flavour. Creamy, smooth and velvety ice cream mixed with crunchy, chocolaty and sweet biscuits. I mean… a match made in heaven. I was really confused for a good minute what to make with this ice cream, becau

    SPICED ALMOND BRITTLE BISCUITS

    These spiced almond brittle biscuits are so delicious, and they truly deliver in the spice department. A crunchy melt in your mouth texture, perfect with a cup of tea on a Sunday afternoon.

    TRIPLE VEGAN CHOCOLATE CAKE

    What would an ice cream festival be without a rich and decadent chocolate cake? This cake is vegan, made from nourishing ingredients and is everything you would want in a dark rich chocolate cake. The first time I tasted Virtue Chocolate Mousse Ice Cream, it literally made my week. I had not felt so happy and excited to have a tub of ice cream in my fridge in a while.

    VEGAN OATS AND PEANUT BUTTER BISCUITS

    These vegan oats and peanut butter biscuits, are made in one bowl and are ready within 30 minutes. They are crispy, hearty and delicious. I got an opportunity to make my own coconut flour, and I thought what better way to use the flour than in oats and peanut butter biscuits. So, these biscuits are crunchy rather than chewy and soft. However, they make for the perfect healthy snack or breakfast. (Who doesn't want to have biscuits for breakfast?) These biscuits will definitely

    COUNTRY HERB CASHEW CHEESE

    High in levels of iron, magnesium, zinc, copper and phosphorus these are just a few health benefits of cashew nuts. Did you know that cashews contain vitamins and minerals that support healthy blood and immune system function? Buttery, salty and sweet cashews couple so well with most herbs and spices. The basil, mint and parsley aromas especially compliment the creamy, herby and tangy dairy free cheese. Serve the cheese with wheat or seeded crackers, olives or fresh veggies.

    SPLIT PEAS SERVED WITH VEGGIE RICE

    This split peas soup served with broccoli and cauliflower rice is the easiest and the least fussiest meal you will ever make. I love split peas soup, but sometimes I just need a little bit something extra to take the soup from normal to exciting. Adding in loads of veggies and spice does the trick. The ultimate game changer in this soup has to be the rice, the combination of the two is just perfect. Split peas served with veggie rice Preparation time: 15 minutes Cooking time:

    This is a mildly sweet vegan cake that is fragrant and moist, which is flavoured with freshly squeezed orange juice and zest. This tender orange cake is perfect as is, but for that WOW factor decorate the cake with freshly cut oranges, this will secretly keep the cake soft and moist. Who doesn't like a slice of freshly baked cake? Even if you are eating healthy you can still have your cake and eat it, without feeling guilty. Oranges are a flavoursome fruit, which are perfec
