Lactose, Gluten, Starch and Sugar free Chocolate Souffle  evening treats

Lactose, Gluten, Starch and Sugar free Chocolate Souffle evening treats

  This recipe is a bit like the super quick Cheese Cake Souffle – sugar and gluten free with the help of Stevia-sweet  but it is totally Lactose free with a fruity Blackcurrant fruit spread centre. It doesn't take much, you just need  2 small ramekins or tea cups, and 5 minutes of preparation and 25min patience, use them to meditate ;-) and build your patience.   Makes: 2 mini ramekins (you can also use tea cups) Prep time: 5 min Cooking: 25 min at 180 degree celsius   You need: 3 Eggs (separated) 2 tbsp Coconut Flour 2 tbsp unsweetened organic Cocoa powder 6 tbsp Water 2 tbsp of Meridian Blackcurrant fruit spread sweetened with grape juice concentrate 1-2  knife-tips Stevia-sweet 90% powder dissolved in 1 table spoons hot water Note: getting the sweetness to the desired level is a matter of trial and error, the best thing is to start with a smaller amount of whatever Stevia you have on hand, it can be ready-use, liquid or tabs (need to be dissolved too), adding more is easier than diluting...

Cheese Cake Souffle – sugar and gluten free with the help of Stevia-sweet

Cheese Cake Souffle – sugar and gluten free with the help of Stevia-sweet

  This recipe is great and adaptable  for a super quick healthy treat for 2 any time of the day. I use 2 small ramekins, the good thing is when you only make enough for one sitting there is no chance of accidentally having too much. Although, when you make sweet treats sweetened with natural  stevia sweetener there will not be any longing for more after the first portion as your blood sugar levels will not rise and fall in crazy ways. I have another nice soufflé recipe which does not even require any milk product. - I'll post it next.   Makes: 2 mini ramekins (you can also use tea cups) Prep time: 5 min Cooking: 25-27 min at 180 degree celsius   You need: 2 Eggs (separated) 150g Quark ( you can use fromage fraise, or thick yoghurt too.) 15g Coconut Flour skin of 1/2 unwaxed organic Lemon 1-2  knife-tips Stevia-sweet 90% powder dissolved in 1 table spoons hot water Note: getting the sweetness to the desired level is a matter of trial and error, the best thing is to start with a smaller...

Gluten and Sugar free Chocolate Coffe Cupcake with coconut cream frosting – with Stevia

Gluten and Sugar free Chocolate Coffe Cupcake with coconut cream frosting – with Stevia

  Sunday is always a great day to spend some time making home made treats, I like how quick these mini cupcakes are. I used my favourite Paleo friendly sponge cake recipe I recently posted, what I like is that it is super moist and free of all the ingredients that are know to trigger inflammatory processes in the body. Really, the recipe combines all the ingredients that are staples in a Palaeolithic diet and forms a treat that looks deceptively unhealthy. I wanted to see if it is possible to make this dairy free, so I created a coconut milk frosting that is as natural as can be. For dark frosting, add unsweetened cocoa powder and natural stevia-sweet extract, for white just add stevia-sweet to taste and any flavouring as desired. Now looking at the nutrition breakdown below, you may be saying: but most of this  cupcake is fat, yes but it is GOOD fat. I only learned a few months ago that fat is the most important nutrient to Happiness, yes, I useed...

Italian Castagnaccio Chestnut cup cakes

Italian Castagnaccio Chestnut cup cakes

  A gluten free birthday treat for fit and health conscious individuals, sweetened with natural zero calorie stevia sweetener. I came across the Castagnaccio – a traditional Italian dessert cake based on chestnut flour - when looking for a baked birthday gift for my super fit Italian friend Martina; she is from Tuscany, so I thought I'd make her a birthday treat that is from her region since she had to celebrate her birthday in England away from family and friends. The recipe was perfectly suited for what I wanted, it is traditional to Tuscany, has healthy ingredients that are great for any health conscious eater and it's suitable to make in small portions and keeps for a few days as we were going out for food she would have to keep it for later. The chestnut flour cake originating from the Tuscan region uses mainly chestnuts, which represented an important widely available food source for the poor peasants and farmers. Even the other ingredients are all locally...
