Chocolate mousse is my current addiction… and there will be none of that healthy avocado cocoa business here… this is a traditional French chocolate mousse – dark chocolate, eggs, sugar, butter and vanilla. It’s velvety, thick and super rich but also somewhat light and fluffy! I could eat the entire bowl on my own! It’s easy to…
Dessert / Sweets
Healthy Banana Bread (refined sugar-free)
And just like that H is at school and I’m preparing school lunch boxes. I’m finding it quite fun at the moment – but it has only been a week. I’ll report back in a months time! So with that in mind, I thought it would be nice to include a little sweet treat on…
Black Sticky Rice with Caramelised Coconut and Mango
Black sticky rice with caramelised coconut and mango is our favourite dessert, but I hear it is most often eaten at breakfast in Thailand. I could definitely get on board with that! On our recent visit to Thailand, H and I ate this everyday – sometimes twice a day! It’s the perfect balance of sweet…

Healthy Avocado Chia Popsicles

Nectarine and Honey Semifreddo
Stone fruit season – yay… H and I recently went to the Apple Shack at Glenbernie Orchard to pick our own nectarines. It is one of the few orchards that let you eat as many as you like as you pick – bonus. H didn’t stop eating them! I lost count at 6… We managed to pick a…
Mini Mango Banana Cupcakes
Mini cupcakes – perfect for little hands… I used my mums cupcakes recipe here but substituted the huge amounts of sugar with mashed banana and honey. It worked a treat. H loved them. The mango on top is lovely paired with the banana and they are light and fluffy. They are super easy to…
Healthy Baked Apples with blackberries, walnuts, pepitas & sultanas
Baked apples is a classic dessert. It’s so easy to prepare and this version is also healthy. So healthy in fact that it would make an equally delicious breakfast. Most nights dessert for the little guy is natural yoghurt with a few berries, but its nice to go to a little more trouble on occasion. Baked…
Jam Filled Ricotta Pastries
I love to make my own pastry and when I came across this recipe in one of my favourite cookbooks I couldn’t wait to try it out. It is very simple and sugar-free. I have added a little orange blossom water because the combination of that with the strawberries is heavenly. The only sugar in…
Frozen Banana Pops with Cocoa-Tahini Coating
Frozen banana pops with a healthy cocoa-tahini coating that not only tastes great, but it is good for you. Sugar-free and a great snack option that the kids will love to help make. You simply chop a banana into thirds and stick a paddle pop stick or skewer into the end and freeze for a few hours….
