  This recipe has been my go to for several month now, every time I am traveling or I am am out and about needing a packable snack I make these. They keep well in the fridge, several days. They don't cause cravings and are just incredibly moist and delicious. My husband keeps asking for these, when I made them I have to hide the ones I want for another time.   This recipe is great for people new to using stevia, the cinnamon helps disguise the slight stevia taste that is so often criticised by people expecting a total equivalent to sugar. You can't really get these wrong, unless of cause you burn the lot.   Makes: 12pcs  in a silicon moulde Prep time: 10 min Cooking: 20-25min at 180 degree celsius pre heated oven (middle shelf)   You need: 5 eggs  Medium ( egg white beaten stiff separately) 36g Almond flour / ground almonds - mixed ground nuts work too. 26g Coconut flour 60g Coconut oil or Butter melted 1-2 teespoon of Cinnamon juice of 1-2 lemons 1/2 tessp. of baking...

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

by Marie MannNo Comments
  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...

Sugar and Gluten free pastry blueberry or chocolate tarts with Stevia for tea

Sugar and Gluten free pastry blueberry or chocolate tarts with Stevia for tea

by Marie MannNo Comments
  Sunday blues? -  have tea tartlet's that are nutritiously good for body and soul. Have you switched to a gluten free diet to eliminate inflammation caused by gluten? It can feel like all the nice things you used to be able to eat are now off limits. Luckily you are not alone, there are many very creative gluten free bakers that are happy to share recipes that work. One of the more difficult things to re-create is sweet pastry as it mainly consist of sugar and fat which hold the dough together, gluten free itself is not too difficult as you still have the sugar to keep things sticking together, once you decide that you want to eliminate sugar too it becomes a challenge. I have created a recipe that is based on the quark oil dough mix that is suitable for making tartelettes - it is of course not quite as rigid as the sugar version but it does stay together to eat by hand. IF you do not have Quark (german milk product)...

Leftover Fruit bowl, crumble sugar free, with porridge oat base

Leftover Fruit bowl, crumble sugar free, with porridge oat base

by Marie MannNo Comments
    Use up your leftover fruit that has been sitting in the bowl for ages. It's so tempting to just get rid of slightly soft and shrivelled fruit; when no one in the house gives the soft kiwi or wrinkly plum another look, it's time to convert these perfectly good fruits into a delicious crumble treat. I don't know why, but I keep buying kiwis and then they don't get eaten. It's probably because its not as convinient to eat as an apple, having to peal or scoop it to get to the flesh. Then there is the chance that it is very sour which also seems to put me off. Last time I had to turn my Kiwis into something to get them eaten, I made the Kiwi Coconut Truffels, all refreshing and just right for summer season. Now that the days have started to get darker, my body calls for warmer and starchier desserts like crumble and pies.   Last sunday my craving for  a sweet treat needed dealing...

Semifreddo mixed berries (sorbet) dessert – sugar free

Semifreddo mixed berries (sorbet) dessert – sugar free

by Marie MannNo Comments
  Super quick, creamy, refreshing summer dessert – makes a great alternative to ice cream, giving the melt in the mouth feeling. With two ingredients, frozen berries and stevia, this is a great emergency dessert or treat when the sweet tooth is calling – a smooth, creamy, melting healthy low calorie dessert rich in vitamins and fiber. After checking the descriptions for the two terms: Semifreddo & Sorbet I decided I’d like to call it semifreddo rather than sorbet, as it features a mousse like creamy texture rather than the watery gritty texture of sorbet.   Semifreddo is Italian, meaning "half cold", it is a description for semi-frozen desserts with a mousse like texture, which is usually produced by uniting two equal parts of ice cream and whipped cream. Sorbet on the other hand is a frozen dessert made from sweetened water, flavoured with fruit (typically juice or puree).   I like using frozen berries for desserts, as it is easy to have them stocked in the freezer as a staple. For extra sweetness and...
