A Semifreddo is a semi frozen dessert that has the texture of frozen mousse. It is almost a smooth block of frozen cream. Or some may say an ice-cream cake. The taste of the lime really lifts this and it is a great summer dessert! I liked the combination of the pistachio nuts too. Yummy, tell me more Diva…
I love the flavour combination of rose and pistachio and I love a good coconut flour muffin. So I combined them all for a lovely light but flavour-some muffin. Makes a nice taste change too. This is my favourite coconut flour muffin/cake recipe. It’s easy to make and is a light, fluffy cake. Who needs that nasty wheat stuff when you have coconut flour?!! Yummy, tell me more Diva…
I have been enjoying a big jar of home made lemon curd recently slathered over anything I could eat, so decided to add it to my favourite almond flour cupcake recipe. I made them into butterfly cakes as the “wings” seemed to fit just right over the lemon curd filling and more importantly, I thought that they looked cute! To me, butterfly cakes were something that takes me back to my childhood as we used to bake this on a Sunday afternoon. This is a lovely fresh cupcake that is full of the zing of spring! Yummy, tell me more Diva…
Rosewater has a lovely intense fragrance and makes these cupcakes feel as if they should be served at a summer’s tea party. The rosewater has a strong flavour, so don’t go too crazy. Rosewater is a flavour associated with the Middle East but also Great Britain. Don’t get the British started on their roses or their lawns. You may be there a while…. Yummy, tell me more Diva…
Romance your loved one with a cupcake or two! Or if you are single, make a batch, settle down with a good film and scoff the lot! This is my favourite almond flour cupcake recipe as it yields a light, fluffy cupcake that is low in carbs and no sugar but all taste! The chief taster loved these and my experimental batch disappeared within 24 hours. I used to love making butterfly cakes as a girl so had a play around with these and make butterfly wings as well as the hearts for the cup cakes. Yummy, tell me more Diva…
Delicious and no cream!
I love this alternative to chocolate mousse as it is creamy and gorgeous! It has no cream or eggs in either but you would never guess. I challenged the chief taster to tell me what was in it and got the reply banana. He was so wrong…it’s actually avocado! A healthy alternative to chocolate mousse! Another added bonus is that it is soooo easy to make! Throw in a blender and voila! Yummy, tell me more Diva…
The fruit crumble is a husband favourite and one of the first desserts that I baked for him. So it was time to rework this favourite dish into something that fits into our new lifestyle…this was easy..make the fruit berries, and the topping a mix of coconut flour and ground almonds…voila! Crumble that is allowed on the new regime! Yummy, tell me more Diva…
Cream and apple filling..mmm..
To be honest I am not sure if this is a cake or could be passed off as a soft cookie. They are soft and sponge-like but I wonder if I cooked them for longer to harden they would be more of a cookie. For the time being I am using them as mini sponges and sandwiching them with some cream and soft fruit. The ones that I used with cooked slices of apple did not last long at all. Yummy, tell me more Diva…
Since I have a surplus of dessicated coconut and there are only so many macaroons you can make, so I tried these tartlets to use up the surplus. The coconut is used to make the tart cases and holds up very well. The chocolate filling is delicious and I did make one version with a large dash of rum (naughty but nice). Yummy, tell me more Diva…
This is a delicious way to cook with Ricotta and gives you an lovely crustless “pie”. Low carb delight for dessert! It is a lovely change to a cheesecake and I like to serve it with berries on the top. Mainly because I love the flavour combination of zesty citrus with berries. Yum! Yummy, tell me more Diva…
