Chocolate and lime vegan cake

This is one of the most comforting cakes ever. It’s easy to make and delicious and I have already baked it several times because everyone seems to love it. I find it particularly suited to the holiday season (some of the more Christmassy pictures are from last Christmas in fact) so why not give this […]

Chocolate, almond and caramel tartlets (vegan)

I love making vegan caramel, I usually love further flavouring it with other elements (not just salt, but also whiskey, pepper or whatever makes you happy). For these tartlets I made a simple caramel sauce because the cacao pastry and the mousse were so rich I didn’t want to make it overwhelming. It was so […]

I didn’t use many Oreo cookies because I was more interested in reproducing the separate tastes separately, but I made an Oreo based […]
