It’s almost Mother’s Day and we can’t think of a better way to celebrate with your mum than by making her this delicious and nutritious box of loveliness. There’s no better way of showing someone you care than putting the time in to make them something and this delightful chocolate box not only looks fantastic – it tastes it too. We’ve topped ours with: sea buckthorn powder, blueberry powder, ground almonds and sesame seeds but the possibilities here are endless, you could use any type of nuts, seeds, cacao powder, coconut…….

If you’re looking for a simple, quick and healthy dessert that’s packed full of flavour then you’ve come to the right place. These little mousse pots taste divine. They’re gluten free, dairy free, vegan and vegetarian too and take less than 15 minutes to make. We like to make these when we have people over for dinner as they can be made in advance and kept in the fridge until serving time.

These easy to make, no-bake truffle treats are so delicious and full of nutrition. They make the perfect after dinner sweet treat, and the best part about this recipe is they keep in the freezer so you can just take them out as and when you need them. We love the combination of bananas and almonds, we discovered it recently while making my new ice-cream recipe, so this sweet snack has soon become a new favourite of ours. The ingredients in this recipe are all wholesome and all have anti-aging benefits, so if you’re looking to turn back the clock this is a fail safe as it’s full of magnesium (nuts, seeds and banana) probiotics (cacao) and polyphenols (cacao). If you find it difficult to blend the dates in your food processor a good tip is to soak them in hot water for a few minutes first which should soften them.

Pears De Cacao features pear halves filled with chocolate mint whipped cream, sandwiched back together, and drizzled with Creme de Cacao liqueur.
