My Clean Treats

Clean Treat Grazing Tables

March 31, 2019April 1, 2019 0

As some of you may know, I’ve been planning my wedding (happening in August!) and, more recently, my engagement. I had SO much fun doing this. Organising all the small details for my engagement was so enjoyable and my favourite part was seeing it all come together on the day with my family and friends. Everyone loves dessert but dessert tables are usually filled with donuts, rocky road, white chocolate…
Pods

March 26, 2019March 26, 2019 0

Pods were my FAVOURITE snack when I was a kid. I loved the different flavours, the crunchy biscuit base and the fact they were so tiny so you couldn’t count how many you were consuming (the more the merrier!) it was way too easy to eat a whole packet in one sitting – and I knew I needed to make them clean. Introducing my TWIX pods! You can make these…
Apple Crumble

July 3, 2017 0

It’s winter! Well, it’s felt like winter for way too long (it’s only been a month) but even with a summery Japan trip in between, there’s no denying the cold weather can get you and your stomach down. Am I the only one who becomes extra hungry during these chillier months? When I think of winter, I think of apple crumble. Warm. With lots of gooey chopped apple and a…

Christmas Fruit Cake

December 15, 2015December 11, 2016 0

Can you believe how quickly this year has flown? We have just over a week until Christmas (eek!) and baking mittens around the world are getting their biggest workout of the year. Each year at Christmas my mum bakes every Christmas treat you can imagine; mini fruit puddings, trifle, gingerbread – you name it. So I knew I had to compete this year with a stand-out dessert that would be delicious enough to…
Christmas Star Cookies

November 28, 2015December 11, 2016 0

Somehow this year has flown by and we are nearing the end of 2015, and more importantly, the greatest excuse to eat as much food as our stomachs can handle – Christmas. One of the reasons I make these desserts is so I can eat MORE of something. For example – would you rather have a few bites of a normal Christmas dessert, or a few slices? We all know…
Strawberry Sponge Cake

November 15, 2015May 22, 2016 0

Years and years ago, I once worked for a bakery who made the most delicious strawberry sponge cakes (all sponge cakes to be exact). It was the standard cake at all of my family’s birthdays – not only for its light and fluffy texture – but also for the lovely presentation that could never go wrong. The pink icing against the natural sponge filled with cream – what’s not to…
Christmas Hedgehog Log

December 14, 2014December 11, 2016 6

Each year my family makes a variety of Christmas desserts that are usually devoured within 48 hours of completion; this includes a very famous marshmallow log & chocolate hedgehog Christmas tree. Inspired by both, I created a clean Christmas Hedgehog Slice that would be devoured just as quickly as the sugary kind, and it was a big success! Guilt free thick chocolate mixed with almonds and walnuts for a biscuit…

Chocolate Peppermint Slice

Mmmm peppermint. I love it in biscuits, cakes, ice cream, mousse and anything else it may be included in. The fresh taste always leaves me delightfully satisfied and I can never get enough, resulting in the disappearances of my entire slice in a record 3 hours… woopsie! My chocolate peppermint slice is a light and fluffy option if you’re feeling like something minty. And who doesn’t love chocolate and peppermint…

Caramel Popcorn Clusters

Today at work my lovely friend introduced me to sweet and salty popcorn (which is ah-mazing of course), and I had this wonderful thought of creating popcorn clusters mixed with caramel… because why not?! They are definitely not the prettiest of desserts; but they taste divine. Just a warning – these are extremely addictive! But a lot better for you than store-bought sugar coated popcorn! INGREDIENTS 1/3 cup kernels 5-6 dates…

Hot Chocolate Pudding

OK, this is my new favourite recipe! I say that a lot… but really this one tastes so so bad for you (making it so so good) it baffles me how rich and delicious it is! I made these for my Italian grandmother yesterday and they were a big hit! Melbourne is quickly becoming chilly this autumn and if there’s one dessert I LOVE eating while curled up in a blanket…

Mini Coconut Cream Cakes

I woke up this morning feeling a little creative. Someone recently asked me about an alternative for nuts in a dessert base so I decided to do a little experimenting with rolled oats. I wasn’t quite sure how this recipe would turn out, but the combination of coconut cream with chewy oats is fantastic! The oat base holds just as well simply by adding a little rice malt syrup and…

Chocolate Mousse Cake

Years and years ago, I worked at a pie and cake shop with my uncle. Every day I would put glorious chocolate mousse cakes on display that were freshly made with plump strawberries placed neatly on the chocolaty surface. Those sugar-filled cakes were the inspiration behind this recipe. My clean chocolate mousse cake may not have a spongy texture, but it is just as satisfying and great for your heart and…

Tiramisu Squares

This is probably one of my favourite recipes. I literally cannot keep my hands off them. Between my mother and I, they are usually gone in less than 24 hours… eek. Seriously though, it is amazing what you can do with a couple of cups of cashews; once blended, the creamy texture that magically occurs makes you feel like you should be EXTREMELY guilty for eating. Especially when fresh coffee…
