I don't do normal particularly well - especially when it comes to recipes. I always have to go slightly left of centre, or right, whatever, but rarely straight down the middle. I make pies with beetroot or purple carrots, I make ice cream with avocados, I make sandwiches with fruit. So when we chose 'Nuts' as the Sweet Adventures Blog Hop theme for July my mind started ticking away. Baklava did occur to me, as it had for our 'Layers' theme in March, but the same thing that put me off of it … [Read more...]

Nut-tella-type Choc-Hazelnut Spread
I have had this recipe sitting in a notebook, and these pics sitting on my computer, for a while. I've been meaning to make it again and get some better photos, but I have been reasonably chocolate-ed out lately and so it has gone to the wayside. However, today has been claimed as 'World Nutella Day' so even though I will re-make the spread and take new photos eventually, I felt it was my duty to post this today in both celebration and revolt. What's one more chocolate recipe before we get back … [Read more...]
How to: Disco Cake! Chocolate Cake, Sugar Cookie Pops, 2 kinds of Buttercream and lots of sparkle – it’s all happening here.
A few weekends ago I made a cake for my niece's 6th birthday - but this was no ordinary cake. At the core is my go-to Karma Chocolate Cake. There was Chocolate Fudge Icing and Vanilla Buttercream. There were Sugar Cookies as decoration - who uses cookies for decoration??! There were little silver candies and shimmery dusting powder. There were dreamy pink and purple swirls of icing. You see it was a disco party. And a disco party requires none other than a Disco Cake - with stars and … [Read more...]
Vegan Chocolate Wafers and Ice Cream Sandwiches
I gave you a little peek at these Chocolate Wafers in my Vegan Chocolate Ice Cream post on Monday... they are so totally worth the wait! When it came time a few weeks back to come up with my Death by Chocolate SABH idea I couldn't stop at just the ice cream - it screamed out for something more, but what? Years ago I made these choc wafers and they were perfect. And brilliantly memorable as evidenced by their firm place in my junk drawer of a memory. Crispy fresh wafers which soften … [Read more...]
Vegan Chocolate Ice Cream
You need to make this. I need to stop eating it. I'm addicted. It's that bad, or that good, whatever. But it really only has three ingredients I keep saying to myself, and all three are good for you. And there is no sugar. And there is no dairy. And there is no soy. And it tastes SO AMAZING and SO CHOCOLATY and SO VERY GOOD. When we chose Death by Chocolate for the January Sweet Adventures Blog Hop the first thing that went through my mind was 'oh no, the holidays just passed and all I … [Read more...]
