New-zealand/6 recipes

This yummy, quick and easy treat is perfect for summer days or even when stuck inside during the cold months. This was something I used to make for family parties all the time. Before going Gluten free, I would just buy the premade graham cracker crust so there was no baking and it literally took 5 minutes to throw together. All I had to do was make a few hours ahead for it to set and be done. But I must admit, this new adaption, using Almond four taste even better!

It’s the smoky flavour of this recipe that takes it to a whole new level – making it equally delicious served warmed or chilled. Don’t be intimidated by the need of smoking equipment, you can achieve similar results in your oven. And the addition of sweet apple? What a souper idea, yes please!

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.
