Apple Pie Ice Cream (Vegan, Paleo)

September 17, 2014April 7, 2018 Melissa King 34 Comments

I know we are getting close to the beginning of fall, but ice cream is always a good idea. 🙂 This Apple Pie Ice Cream is so awesome!

It seriously tastes like an apple pie ala mode. The best thing about this apple pie ice cream? It’s made healthier! I was licking the spoon as it was churning in the ice cream maker.

This might just be my most favorite ice cream recipe ever. I used my crock pot applesauce for this recipe. I highly recommend doing the same.

Slow cooking the apples in all the spices brings out the natural sugars and creates a great flavor profile for this recipe. I think that is what brought this over the top for me.

I am going to have a hard time sharing this one with hubby and the kids. 🙂

Slow Cooker Ratatouille Soup

September 16, 2014September 17, 2014 Melissa King 64 Comments

I have a new slow cooker recipe for you! This time it’s slow cooker ratatouille soup. One can never have too many soup recipes right? Especially when they are healthy soup recipes. Even better if they are slow cooker recipes. This slow cooker ratatouille soup will not disappoint. It’s loaded with flavor. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

If you wanted to add more protein to this soup, I could see white beans or kidney beans going real well in here. This soup is great on it’s own though. Plus the house will smell amazing! Unlike most soup recipes, this one contains no broth. Most of the vegetables release so much water in the cooking process, that there was no need for broth. This recipes makes a very large amount of soup. It’s quite budget friendly. I store mine in serving sized containers in the freezer for easy meals on those busy days.

Pumpkin Truffles (Vegan and Gluten Free)

Pumpkin Truffles. Are you sick of pumpkin yet? I am so obsessed with pumpkin recipes these days. These pumpkin chocolate truffles are delicious and they would be perfect for a Thanksgiving dessert.

I had to stop myself from eating more than one. These pumpkin chocolate truffles may be my most favorite pumpkin dessert recipe yet! You can’t really go wrong with pumpkin and chocolate!

These pumpkin truffles are a little bite of heaven. You only need 7 ingredients to make them! They are vegan, gluten free and paleo. Imagine a pumpkin cream covered in chocolate.

Perfection! I used chocolate chips in my recipe, but this would also work with my 3 ingredient chocolate recipe. If you choose to use that, don’t add the milk. Just make the chocolate sauce as is. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did!

Super Rich Healthy Fudge

September 13, 2014December 14, 2014 Melissa King 52 Comments

I am all about sneaking vegetables into desserts when I can. That is exactly what I did with this Super Rich Healthy Fudge. This fudge tastes super rich and satisfying, but it contains a secret ingredient. It’s not beans or zucchini either! If you like desserts with hidden veggies, you may like this, this or this.

This super rich healthy fudge is vegan, gluten free, grain free and paleo. I can see this recipe being adapted to include other flavors or ingredients. I added some chocolate chips to the top of mine, but nuts or toasted coconut would be yummy too.

Paleo Pumpkin Pie Cupcakes

You guys! These paleo pumpkin pie cupcakes are pretty bomb. It all started with this recipe. One of my readers asked me if I could do a healthier version.

Well I always love a challenge, and I have to say these paleo pumpkin pie cupcakes came out awesome. Unlike the original, mine have NO flour and NO refined sugars.

They are also dairy free, egg free and vegan. You can whip them up pretty fast!

You don’t even need a mixer to make the cupcakes. Just a food processor or blender will do. If you want to make the whipped topping, you will need a mixer.

It’s super easy to make though. If you love pumpkin, you may also like this post. I use bananas in the recipe, but I swear you can’t taste them with the pumpkin and spices.

At least I couldn’t. I was very surprised at how the texture of these cupcakes was very close the texture of actual pumpkin pie.
