Ingredients You'll Need: 1 can chickpeas   1 cup organic caster sugar   1 teaspoon almond or vanilla extract 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar 1 tablespoon cornstarch   1 can Nature’s Charm Coconut Whipping Cream Seasonal Fruits for topping Instructions: The night before, place chickpeas and coconut whipping cream in the fridge. The next day, preheat oven to 100 C, and draw a large circle (1 did 20cm) on baking paper. Place on baking tray (pencil side down) and set aside. Drain chickpea water (this is called the aquafaba) through a fine sieve into a very clean, large mixing bowl (reserve chickpeas for other meals).  Using an electric beater, beat aquafaba on low until foamy. Add apple cider vinegar and continue to beat on medium until soft peaks form (and the beaters leave ribbons through the mix).  Continuing to beat on medium, dump 1/3 of the sugar into the mix and beat until it becomes very glossy. At this point, add 1 tablespoon of sugar at a time, raining it in. Beat for 30s between each addition.  Once all sugar has been added, beat, beat, beat! You cannot overbeat aquafaba. You want the mix VERY thick, and very glossy.  Once you’ve reached this point, sift in corn flour and almond extract. Gentle fold through. Dollop the pavlova mix around the prepared baking paper circle, creating a wreath. Bake for 1.5-2.5 hours, then turn off the oven and let cool completely. The pavlova should easily peel of the paper when ready. Top with Nature’s Charm Coconut Whipping Cream and seasonal fruits!  Source: Nature's Charm

Ingredients You'll Need: Crust 160 g (5.64 oz) vegan cookies digestives or ginger nuts work well ½ teaspoon sea salt 60 g (4 ⅓ tablespoons) vegan butter Filling 200 g (1 ½ cups) cashews soaked *see recipe notes 300 g (10.58 oz) vegan cream cheese *see recipe notes 120 g (½ cup) vegan Greek-style yogurt or thick coconut yogurt 118 ml (½ cup) pure maple syrup 50 g (¼ cup) coconut oil solid 2 tablespoons vanilla extract  1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice Garnish (optional) Fresh berries Instructions: Crust Line the bottom and sides of a 7.5 or 8" cake tin (with removable base) with some parchment paper. Add the cookies and sea salt to your food processor and blitz for about 30 seconds until evenly finely ground. Add in the vegan butter and blend again until evenly combined and the mixture sticks together between your fingers. Press the cookie mixture into the base of the cake tin, and smooth it out with the back of a spoon, making sure it is compact. Set aside in the fridge while you prepare the filling. Filling Add all of the filling ingredients to a high-speed blender and blitz for several minutes until smooth and creamy with no lumps. Pour the mixture into the cake pan and place back in the fridge to set for a minimum of 5 hours (or overnight if preferred). Serving and Storage Once set, carefully remove the cheesecake from the cake tin by lifting the bottom of the pan. Top with fresh berries such as strawberries and raspberries or fresh fruit of your choice. Use a hot wet sharp knife to slice the cheesecake into portions before serving. Place the cheesecake in an airtight container and refrigerate. It will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can also freeze it in an airtight container for up to a couple of months. I recommend first slicing the cheesecake into individual portions so that you can defrost them as needed. Then just allow them to sit at room temperature for an hour before serving. Notes Soaked Cashews: soak the cashews in water for 4 hours, rinse and drain. You can also quick soak your cashews by soaking them in boiling water for one hour. Swap the vegan cream cheese for chilled coconut milk. Refrigerate the cans of coconut milk overnight, then use only the thick cream from the top of the cans. Source: Addicted to Dates

Stroopwafel S'mores Recipe

Indulge in a delightful twist on the classic campfire treat with vegan stroopwafel s'mores! Elevating the traditional s'mores experience to new heights, these delectable delights feature a Dutch-inspired vegan stroopwafel as the perfect substitute for the conventional graham cracker. Imagine a luscious layer of gooey, dairy-free marshmallow sandwiched between two thin, crispy stroopwafels, with a rich, velvety chocolate square in the middle. The result? A heavenly combination of chewy, crunchy, and melt-in-your-mouth goodness that will transport your taste buds to a whole new realm of flavor. Ingredients You'll Need: 4 pieces of Dandies marshmallows 4 Stroop Club stroopwafels 1 cup dark chocolate chips Instructions: Melt the chocolate chips either in the microwave or on the stove with a double boiler. The easiest way to temper your chocolate is to melt and heat ⅔ of the chocolate first and then add the last ⅓ to your bowl. When it’s all melted and beautifully dark and smooth let it cool slightly again. Put a piece of marshmallow on a stroopwafel, dip the entire creation into the chocolate, covering the whole mount with chocolate. Let drip/cool on a rack. You can make it a tiny bit more complicated by getting a bigger slab of marshmallow, cutting out circles with a round cookie cutter and placing them in between 2 stroopwafels. Dip the sides in chocolate and voila. We like to cut these in triangles, somehow it makes them less sweet. (Yeah right).
