🍫+🍊 2-Ingredient Terry’s Chocolate Orange Cups | #FallIntoShorts Day 19
Last year I went all out and DIY’ed my own molds to make a dairy-free version of Terry’s chocolate orange. But it was a labour of love.

Black Forest Brownie Cake 🍒🤍🍫
The original recipe for this chocolate cherry brownie cake is by Radhi Devlukia-Shetty in her cookbook: “JoyFULL” (but we made a few tweaks based on ingredient availability at a friend’s house). I’m totally loving the savoury recipes in Radhi’s book, and also make her moon milk recipes almost every night before bed. So I thought it would be fun to try her brownie cake recipe - It’s gluten free, egg free, dairy free, refined sugar free & vegan. And instead of stacking & “icing

🍰 The BEST Flourless Chocolate Cake
Decadent, yet super easy to make, flourless chocolate cake. It’s completely flour-less (not even almond flour!! So nut-free too!) And you can make it dairy-free and/or sugar-free/low carb by using dairy-free and/or sugar-free chocolate chips along with your sweetener of choice. Have fun with your toppings (to me nothing goes better with warm cake than a scoop of cold vanilla ice cream, but traditionally it gets topped with a dusting of powdered sugar or cocao powder, and some

Colour Changing Lemonade 🩷💜💙 Recipe
It goes by many names: Magic Lemonade, Galaxy Lemonade or Mermaid Lemonade, and it involves adding blue matcha/butterfly pea flower tea to lemonade. The anthocyanin pigments in the blue matcha are blue in alkaline/basic environments, but turn purple, then pink in more acidic environments such as lemonade!! It appears as magic, but it’s chemistry!

Crispy, crunchy, roasted lentils 😍🥗 #Saladtopper #glutenfreecroutons
I’m sure you’ve seen crunchy, roasted chickpeas before. But this is a fun twist. Plus, they’re extra crunchy and give you more protein & less carbs (net and total), and more fiber per serving than chickpeas (or croutons!) And bonus: they’re also faster to cook from scratch; giving you a healthy, gluten-free alternative to a crouton on your salads this summer (or frankly to any dish you’d like to add some texture, crunch and/or extra protein too) INGREDIENTS: ► 3/4-1 cup dried
