Lemony Coconut Fudge (Vegan and Paleo)

April 29, 2014June 22, 2017 Melissa King 28 Comments

Lemony Coconut Fudge. Coconut and lemon go so well together, don’t they? I am a big fan of the combo if you haven’t noticed already.

I have some coconut lemon crumb bars and lemon tarts already on my blog. This lemon coconut fudge makes a wonderful addition.

This lemony coconut vegan fudge couldn’t be easier to make. Plus, it just melts in your mouth. Hard to make it look sexy in a photo, but I promise if you try it, you will love it!

This coconut lemon fudge is also vegan, gluten free and paleo approved. There is only 2-3 tablespoons of sweetener in the whole batch!

Omg! You guys! These flourless salted caramel cookies are amazing! I know I have said that with my 4 ingredient flourless chocolate cookies and my flourless chocolate chip cookies as well. These flourless salted caramel chocolate chip cookies take it to the next level. Can you believe they have zero added sugar?

Yes you heard that right. No added sugar. You see, these cookies are naturally sweetened with dates. These salted caramel chocolate chip cookies are also vegan, gluten free and grain free.

Easy Mushroom and Onion Quesadillas

April 10, 2014December 14, 2014 Melissa King 16 Comments

We live in Texas, so there is no shortage to Tex Mex foods. However, most of the restaurants are not healthy or vegan. Ever since we made our dairy free cashew cheese sauce, we have been experimenting with different ways to use it. First there was the vegan grilled cheese and then the vegan nachos. Now vegan quesadillas.

I used Food for Life corn tortillas. They are gluten free and non GMO. They were perfect for this recipe. I supposed you could also use homemade tortillas. We all loved this recipe and it smells amazing when it’s cooking! If you are not vegan, please feel free to add in whatever cheese you like instead of the cheese sauce. I am sure that would probably be okay as well.

Mini Vegan Cheesecakes (Gluten Free)

Mini Vegan Cheesecakes. These mini vegan and gluten free cheesecakes are so good!

When I made my dairy free sour cream the other day, I was thinking that it might be the perfect base for a vegan cheesecake. Turns out I was right. You are going to love these mini vegan cheesecakes!

They are just the right little bite of heaven. Honestly, I don’t think these vegan cheesecakes taste much different than the real deal. Although it’s been a long time since I have had an actual cheesecake.

These would make the perfect dessert for those that suffer from a dairy allergy. I am beginning to think there is nothing that cashews can’t do!

Homemade Coconut Milk

March 11, 2014December 14, 2014 Melissa King 34 Comments

If you look at coconut milk in the store, you will notice that pretty much every brand contains carrageenan. Even the organic brands. So the only other option is to make it yourself. The good news is that homemade coconut milk is so easy to do. It only takes a few minutes. The best part about homemade coconut milk is that you can flavor it however you like. I like to add a couple dates for sweetness, but you can also add in some chocolate for a sweeter treat. 🙂 This homemade coconut milk would be great in my coconut vanilla chia pudding or my raspberry coconut smoothie.

White Chocolate Banana Bread

I have made you some white chocolate banana bread! After I became vegan, I thought anything white chocolate was out of my reach. Sure there are a couple vegan white chocolate chip brands out there, but most of those contain unwanted ingredients. 🙁 So I had to create my own “white chocolate.” As you probably already know, white chocolate goes so well with banana bread. This white chocolate banana bread is super delicious.
