My goal with this Berry Crisp Ice Cream Pie was to capture all my favorite desserts into one delectable no-bake treat. At the first sign of warm temps and sunshine this Spring, I prepared my ice cream machine, stocked up on berries + ordered my favorite small-batch Paleo granola perfect for all the no-bake cookie crust/crumbles/bites I’m dreaming up for the coming months.   (Fun Fact: June is Paleo Month!) The result was this hybrid […]

That’s why I worked long and hard to create a healthier cookie that still checks all the boxes for being delish!!!  A few key ingredients for a […]

So I dreamt up this torte with more firm and distinct layers that also cuts and photographs so well! Each […]

Triple Chocolate Brownies (GF, Vegan option) The perfect marriage between cakey and fudgy, these gluten free triple chocolate brownies are irresistible! First off, a few hints to make any brownie recipe even better: 1) use melted chocolate in addition to cocoa powder, 2) Use strong coffee as your liquid, 3) find a recipe that has a high fat to flour ratio, 4) use just as dash of baking powder (anymore and they will be quite […]
