Guilt-free Nutella Pizza

OK, I know I always say this but seriously, everyone needs to get out their blender and make this Nutella NOW! I have tried countless recipes from numerous sources for a clean Nutella and always find myself disappointed. I’ve also experimented with my own Nutella recipes and they’ve also been unsuccessful, but this… THIS is Nutella. Trust me. I had almost given up on this creation as it took months…

Cherry Ripe Fudge Bars

Mmm Cherry Ripe – the perfect winter chocolate. I’ve been suggested to create this a few times and finally decided to give it a go. As I have mentioned previously (and in my About Me), I have quite an unhealthy obsession with chocolate.  Cherry Ripe is one of those bars that when you begin with one bite you struggle to say no and this usually leads to a guilty sensation…

Banana, Peanut Butter and Chocolate Tea Cake

So as you may notice in my recipes I have quite the obsession at the moment with peanut butter. On its own – I’m not the biggest fan – however combined in cakes, cookies or bars and that’s a WHOLE different story. In fact, last night my sister and best friend came over solely to watch movies while devouring my Chocolate and Peanut Butter Bars (link in Recipes page). And…

Raw Jaffa Truffles

Chocolate and orange is one of the most fantastic pairs. It may be done subtly or rich, but you know it will always taste equally delicious. Jaffa chocolates are one of my favourites and I can eat them to extremes (as with other chocolate of course) so when I was suggested to make something ‘Jaffa’ I was intrigued to see how it would turn out; especially as I haven’t come…

Chewy Chocolate and Peanut Butter Bars

It’s been a while since I have created anything raw and I’m currently a little obsessed with peanut butter. Peanut butter is great and there are so many ways you can include it in your meals or treats. Some even smear it over celery and carrots (I’m yet to try that). And in comparison to natural maple syrups or honey, natural peanut butter is very affordable and accessible from your…

Chocolate Cake with Cacao Cream and Strawberries

  Chocolate cake has a strong effect on even the most controlled individuals; there is just something special about a chocolate sponge with a matching cream. When your spoon digs into the cake’s soft texture and the sauce drizzles out from the centre, you know you have entered dangerous territory and the button on your jeans will most likely be required to be undone. A friend of mine recommended I…

Anzac Day Biscuits

Mmm Anzac Day biscuits – crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside.  My Mother makes Anzac Day biscuits on a regular basis and I have been reminding myself to attempt a healthy recipe for a while. Since Anzac Day is coming up I figured it would be the perfect opportunity. And the result? Success! I adapted the recipe from I Quit Sugar and am very pleased with the…

Chocolate Peppermint Ice-Cream Cookie Sandwiches

Oh Melbourne, glorious sun one day and thrashing winds the next. You never know what weather to expect in this lovely city I reside in, however whatever the temperature I can be sure of one thing: it is never EVER too cold for ice cream. Hence my latest creation made with a fresh peppermint twist. Last July in Santa Monica my brother and I stumbled across an amazing food truck…

The dark chocolate chips generously distributed throughout the peanut butter biscuit leaves an indulgent surprise – especially when munching on…

Mini Chocolate Easter Eggs

Since I was a child, my memories of Easter have always involved devouring one main sweet that is placed inside the small triangle at the tip of the food pyramid and labelled as ‘Eat Sparingly.’ If you haven’t guessed what that is yet, I am talking about CHOCOLATE! Yes, that smooth, succulent, sensual sweet you would find on Easter egg hunts as a child, and the junk food you turn…

Guilt-free Banana Bread

As the cool Melbourne breeze sweeps the city, the desserts are becoming warmer and warmer… Ahh the joyous feeling when you curl up on the couch watching bad TV (Kardashians anyone?) with a cosy blanket, a cup of tea and a small sweet. It was 25 degrees in Melbourne today so I may be getting ahead of myself, but I’m sure the chilly nights will be occurring soon enough! And…
