  • Recipe Happy Vegan Valentine's Day--Vegan Chocolate Truffles
    Happy Vegan Valentine's Day--Vegan Chocolate Truffles
    These exquisite chocolate truffles are a bit different than most vegan recipes you see. Many recipes call for making a cashew cream of equal parts cashews and water which I find WAY too thin. These recipes also often call for melted chocolate[...]
  • Recipe Vegan Mexican Hot Chocolate Pancakes with Warm Vegan Cinnamon-Orange-Kahlua-Pecan Syrup
    Vegan Mexican Hot Chocolate Pancakes with Warm Vegan Cinnamon-Orange-Kahlua-Pecan Syrup
    Yield: 6-8 pancakes Honestly, I had never eaten--never wanted to eat--chocolate pancakes until this morning. They seemed to smack of the worst kind of pancake house " Supersize Me" travesty. You know, the ones smothered in sickly sweet sauce[...]
  • Recipe Perfect Vegan Hot Chocolate or Vegan Peppermint Hot Chocolate
    Perfect Vegan Hot Chocolate or Vegan Peppermint Hot Chocolate
    Yield: one decadent tasting, but light, serving We've had an exceptionally cold, wet and snowy winter this year and my antidote has been vegan hot chocolate. I make mine with cocoa powder to keep the fat content almost non-existent, but I am[...]
  • Recipe Spiked Vegan Chocolate Mousse
    Spiked Vegan Chocolate Mousse
    Yield: 6 servings When I discovered this recipe, I wondered, as I still do, why anyone--even non-vegans--would ever make chocolate mousse any other way. It is practically health food disguised as the richest, creamiest, most decadent dessert[...]
  • Recipe Vegan Chocolate-Peppermint Thumbprint Cookies
    Vegan Chocolate-Peppermint Thumbprint Cookies
    Yield: approximately 3 dozen cookies This is one of those recipes that was very easily veganized simply by substituting vegan butter and chocolate for their dairy equivalents. I thought they looked a little plain--though chocolate-on-chocolate[...]
  • Recipe Vegan Chocolate, Raspberry and Cream Trifle
    Vegan Chocolate, Raspberry and Cream Trifle
    Yield: 6-8 servings (easily doubles) My friend Susan Kaplan made a lovely Vegan Chocolate Bundt Cake for me as a holiday gift. I froze it to serve when she and her husband could come for dinner, which was this past Saturday. Joe and I each[...]
  • Recipe Vegan Fruit-Topped Chocolate-Almond Clafoutti Cake
    Vegan Fruit-Topped Chocolate-Almond Clafoutti Cake
    Yield: 8 servings Ever since I created my Vegan Fruit-Topped Almond Clafoutti Cake in July, I've been dying to try a chocolate version. Not that I have to have an excuse to make a dessert, but it is just me and my husband and the dogs who[...]
  • Recipe Vegan Peanut Butter-Cream Cheese-Chocolate Chip Frosting
    Vegan Peanut Butter-Cream Cheese-Chocolate Chip Frosting
    Okay, so I said that the only thing that might make my Vegan Peanut Butter, Banana, Graham Cracker Brownies better was frosting, but that that "almost seems too decadent if there is any such thing." Turns out there isn't. The brownies are[...]
  • Recipe Vegan Iced Mocha Soy Latte a la Starbucks
    Vegan Iced Mocha Soy Latte a la Starbucks
    Okay, I admit it: I am a Starbucks junkie. I know they are "corporate giants," but, come on, they always have soymilk and, as of May 1, they started offering any of their addicting frappucinos with soy. Plus, they are socially conscious and they[...]
  • Recipe Vegan Peanut Butter, Banana, Graham Cracker Brownies
    Vegan Peanut Butter, Banana, Graham Cracker Brownies
    Yield: one 8" pan of brownies These brownies are chock-full of everything I love. The only thing that might make them better is a frosting, but that almost seems too decadent if there is any such thing. See what you think. 1 cup unbleached[...]
