I’m a big Fudgsicle fan — but really, who isn’t? I wanted to try to make a vegan version of the frozen chocolate treat, and, dare I say, make it even better?! This dessert gets its sweetness from bananas and saltiness and creaminess from peanut butter. Plus, they take just five minutes to whip up…

Strawberry Granita
Refreshing and fruity: two of my favorite adjectives when describing a dessert. They definitely apply to this Strawberry Granita, which is a type of homemade water ice made from fruit. Granita is originally from Italy, where it is typically made from lemons and their juice. We made ours with fresh strawberries, citrus juice, and sugar,…
Lemon Cranberry Scones
Everybody seems to be baking with all their extra time on their hands these days. I’ve seen lots of photos of dough rising and freshly baked sourdough. Inspired by all the amateur home bakers out there, I got the urge to bake something sweet and special too. This scone recipe is basically the same as…
Easy Date Cookies
Dates are a vegan’s best friend when it comes to baking and snacking. They’re naturally sweet and their stickiness can become an egg replacement. They are also wonderful for those pursuing a raw diet, or for anyone whose time is limited, because you can make lots of sweet treats without even turning on an oven!…
Messy Vegan Tiramisu
When I set out to make vegan tiramisu, I was attempting to make the beautiful layered dessert we all know and love. But, as the imperfect vegan, I guess I should’ve known it would come out looking less than perfect! 😂 I followed Chef Chloe’s recipe from her Vegan Italian cookbook (absolutely love), so full…
Pumpkin Bread
October has me embracing Autumn and feeling super festive, so I decided to make some pumpkin bread! What could be more autumnal than pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice? This recipe only requires one bowl so your clean up will be really easy, that is if you don’t lick the bowl clean while you’re making it!…
Peanut Butter Cereal Bars
Ever since I was a kid, I’ve loved the ooey gooey texture of rice krispie treats. Since marshmallows aren’t typically vegan, I haven’t had one of these sticky squares in a while. I had puffed rice cereal leftover from when I made curry trail mix that I wanted to use up, and thinking back to my…
Lemon Bars
Is there anything more refreshing than the taste of lemon? I think that refreshing quality is why lemon makes such a great dessert flavor. It is the perfect way to end a meal, especially when you’re already full from a heavy entree! These lemon bars are not only refreshing, but they’re also remarkably healthy. They’re…
Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Oatmeal raisin cookies are a silent favorite. I’m not sure why, but for some reason they get a bad rep and are sadly underrated. It’s a shame because they can be so delightful from that touch of cinnamon and nutmeg, and the raisins get warm and gooey in the oven. The best is when they…
Italian Wedding Cake
Sometimes I just get the urge to bake. Since there’s only two of us, I tend to gravitate towards muffins or cookies because they are more 2-serving friendly than something bigger like a cake. But, why shouldn’t we celebrate sometimes? With a cake on the counter, we can each have a little sweet slice every…
