Desserts/Treats
Chocolate Ganache Truffles
Close your eyes. Imagine biting into a crunchy shell of chocolate and finding a pillow of luscious, rich chocolate ganache in the center.
Peanut Butter Truffles
he folks at Hershey’s were right about one thing—the combination of peanut butter and chocolate. It’s definitely a match made in heaven, but only when you use dairy-free chocolate!
Chocolate Mousse Parfait
Give me a spoon and get out of the way. As a chocoholic who has no intentions of recovering, Chocolate Mousse used to top my list of decadent desserts.
Chocolate Buttercream Frosting
Few foods elicit guilty pleasure like licking the remnants of something sweet and gooey left in a mixing bowl.
Gluten-Free Vegan Chocolate Cupcakes
Imagine a life without chocolate cake? I can’t. I won’t. Vegan baking often requires just a few simple substitutions, but when I was asked to create a vegan and gluten-free batch of chocolate cupcakes,
Vegan Whipped Cream
I use coconut cream for the base. I’ve seen other recipes that use non-dairy milk, but for me, this seems to have the best consistency with the simplest preparation.
Cherry Pistachio Biscotti

Jam Thumbprints
Jam Thumbprints are a simple, classic cookie, perfect for holiday-time or anytime. My first batch of these cookies, right out of the gate in culinary school, was vegan.
Italian Anise Cookies
My family isn’t Italian, so when I had my first Italian Anise Cookie, I was in my 20’s. Christmas hasn’t been the same ever since.
