I was craving Lemon + Creaminess + Cake (anyone else having flashbacks to the Lemon Creme Cake at Olive Garden??) so I knew I had to create a sweet and citrusy indulgent treat! This Golden Lemon Creme Cake checks all my boxes for a satisfying citrus dessert and it’s crazy easy! The cake is soft, fluffy, naturally a bright yellow color, and has the perfect amount of lemon “zip.” The lemon cream cheese-esque frosting is […]

An amazing scone requires only a handful of ingredients which is why the quality and ratio of ingredients is so vital! Scones are all about the: butter, flour, cream/buttermilk, and optional flavorings. Equally important is the texture which is why the process of mixing (or rather minimizing mixing!) is crucial.  The fun part about this much healthier recipe is that we are still using the same simple method and short ingredient list, just making a […]

Years ago, Nutella made us fall in love with the classic hazelnut and chocolate pairing on everything from toast to fruit to pie. And there’s no shortage of chocolate hazelnuts desserts on the web (I mean hello Vegan Nutella Cinnamon Rolls!) Many European pastries also combine this delightful combo that many of us adore.

Also, I’m filled with child-like excitement when I see sprinkles ever since creating a Funfetti flavor of my Coco Amor Superfood Ice Cream! ??? And although it’s not practical to bake a cake or make homemade ice cream everyday, it IS TOTALLY DOABLE to snack on NO-BAKE FUNFETTI CAKE BITES any time – […]

I am typically not one to make copycat recipes but this fun take on cold brew reallyyy has stolen my heart.  My challenge for National Coffee Day this year was to recreate Starbucks’ newest 2019 pumpkin drink: Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew. More coffee forward than a PSL, made with real pumpkin, and served in a “sippy” cup in order to experience the sweet frothy cream on top – I will admit it’s one of the […]
