The BEST Vegan Boston Cream Pie
This is the only recipe for VEGAN Boston cream pie that you will ever need my friends!!! Isn’t it a beautiful thing? I think it’s a beautiful thing if I do say so myself. Hey, I don’t get credit for how pretty smooth chocolate ganache looks all on its own. I only post recipes after they have been approved by my loyal gang of quality control taste-testers (AKA my family and friends). This recipe has been thoroughly tested and repeated a few times now. It’s a definite keeper. Why is a Boston Cream Pie Called a “Pie”? You may have wondered why they call it Boston cream “pie” when it is actually a…

Chai Latte Doughnut with Vanilla Bean Icing (Vegan)
It’s finally Friday again, Yes! I hope you are in the mood for some doughnuts (or is it donuts? what’s the difference?)! Ha! I say that like it’s possible to not be in the mood for a doughnut. What a ridiculous notion. The weather has been pretty cool and rainy recently and I’ve been on a tea kick. Chai tea. The entire first year we have lived here in Chile I was never able to find chai at the stores (sad face). I know it can be made at home but I’m the only one in my family who likes to drink it and I hate making things specifically for me so I’ve…

Triple Layer Vanilla Velvet Valentine Cake
Every special occasion needs a stunning cake, right? With Valentine’s Day coming up soon I thought it would be fun to make something that could be versatile enough that you can make it all year long, but also good for your Valentine. The secret ingredient is something I never would have expected until the first time I tried it, but might be familiar to you if you do much plant-based cooking. It’s a little something called aquafaba (aka bean water). I know, it sounds strange and even a little gross but it whips up unbelievably well and adds the fluffy volume that makes this cake light and airy. As for the decoration, I…

Homemade Peanut Butter Crunch Breakfast Cereal Puffs (Vegan+GF)
So I’m writing this from my new house and even though I’m not all moved in yet, we’re working on getting things set up. Today I wanted to do a throwback recipe from something my pregnant sister was craving back when we lived in Chile. One of her cravings was really random; peanut butter Cap’n Crunch. That’s pretty random, right? I knew there was no way we were going to be able to find anything remotely close down there unless I made it. It’s hard enough just to find peanut butter there. It was clear since we moved there that there is a general dislike of peanut butter in Chile’s culture so the…

Vegan Italian Cream Cake + Cream Cheese Frosting
Take an afternoon to bake this delicate and timeless vegan Italian cream cake. Your family and friends will love you and probably won’t believe it’s vegan! Every great recipe deserves and amazing introduction right? Wrong. This post is all about the BEST Vegan Italian Cream Cake and Dairy Free Cream Cheese Frosting Well, okay this cake is absolutely incredible and it certainly deserves it’s share of talk. However, I’d say it’s reputation precedes it and therefore it doesn’t need too much explaining. On the other hand, I don’t know if I can help myself. I mean, no other cake can boast such classic Southern charm. In my family this is sort of an…

Perfect Crinkle Snickerdoodle Cookies (Vegan)
I can’t really imagine what the holidays would be like without baking at least one batch of cookies. There are so many possibilities too. I mean, you’ve got the classic, and basically synonymous with Christmas, gingerbread men. Then there are your basic sugar cookies or shortbread. In my family chocolate chip cookies usually make their way into every holiday treat line-up. Oh, and we almost always make these little snowball cookies that I think everyone is familiar with. With all the variety, it’s not surprising that there are some cookies that aren’t as commonly made in some homes and for us that was always snickerdoodles. In fact, I hardly remember my family ever making…

Easy Mini Chocolate Chip Cookie Crumble Trifles (Vegan)
Hey guys! Guess what? Today is National Chocolate Pudding Day! So my family is somewhat obsessed with chocolate chip cookies. I think they would be completely happy if I made them everyday but how boring would that be? It’s pretty hilarious because I am always wanting to try some new flavor or recipe and everyone just wants to eat chocolate chip cookies. This is where we have a problem. I mean, I think chocolate chip cookies are great and I’m sure you do too but I can’t exactly post the recipe everyday and I just don’t have the time to make a bunch of different recipes everyday either. Trying to make everyone happy…
