Vanilla Bean Coconut Milk Ice Cream

I absolutely love coconut milk...it's creamy and delicious. It's also vegan which makes great for vegan recipes. This ice cream is rich and creamy, with a slight sweetness from the vanilla bean and agave nectar. Oh, it's also vegan and gluten-free so every one can enjoy!

Easy Rapsberry tarts.

Usually tarts are baked, and I try to avoid outside "snack" food because it's usually HighFructoseCornSryupGivingEveryoneCancerAndDiabetes thing. So I found a cheaper, easier, and healthier way to have a snack in between my long day of classes.

Rose-Scented Berry Tart With an Almond Shortbread Crust

A classic berry tart is a perfect way to showcase your farmers’ market bounty, but it’s also kind of staid and dull, offering up visions of a vicar’s tea with an old aunt. But here, you’ll infuse the pastry cream with rose petals and sweeten the crust with almonds, giving a sexy twist to an old standby. For those with green thumbs, here’s a different way to showcase your most fragrant roses, free of pesticides and redolent of summer in the garden.

Ruby Red Currant and Rhubarb Tart

This tart was created because of an abundance of red currants in my friend's back yard. The rhubarb and currants work together to make a tart (pun NOT intended) filling. Be aware: this tart is very juicy, so serve with a spoon and a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!

Chocolate-Coconut (Choconut!) Mousse

I created this vegan delight while making David Lebovitz's Chocolate-Coconut Sherbet (from Ready for Dessert). When removing the chilled sherbet batter from the fridge, I noticed it had slightly solidified and the texture was quite silky. I figured the addition of coconut oil would help solidify it even more, and using only coconut cream would be the key to perfect silkiness. My guesses were correct, and voila, Choconut Mousse!

Frozen Mango Ice Cream Mousse

This is sort of a cross between an ice cream and a mousse. It was given to me by my best friend's mom, and every time I go to her house, we eat it by the bucketful (seriously). The passion fruit puree is added because it balances out the flavors, adding a subtle tartness. Depending on the sweetness of your mangoes, you can add more or less, to suit your tastes. Passion fruit puree can be found in some larger grocery stores, or you can find it on Amazon. To make this more like an ice cream, puree everything but the cream and then stir it all together. To make it just a mango mousse, whip the cream separately, fold in the mango-passion fruit puree and chill.

Maple Baked Acorn Squash "Milkshake"

This is my favorite (although not the healthiest) way to prepare acorn squash. Normally, I'd puree it in a soup (with earthy fall flavors like bacon, chipotle, cumin, or roasted garlic) but for this recipe I decided to highlight the maple flavor, turning the puree into a milkshake. Coconut milk adds richness, vanilla rounds out the flavors and signals "dessert".

truffle-esque: date and espresso truffles

in the world of confectionary truffles are cherry sized balls of soft chocolate paste. sometimes they are encased in a shell of harder chocolate or dusted in a bittersweet cacao. my date and espresso truffles only partly fit this description as they aren’t crafted from soft chocolate paste. they are made from a paste of dried fruit and nuts (dates and almonds) hydrated in espresso and kahlúa. i rolled the paste into cherry sized balls and then dusted them with an extra fine and dark cocoa courtesy of la maison du chocolat.
