Bittersweet Cashew Cream Truffle Squares

Bittersweet Cashew Cream Truffle Squares

  This three-ingredient, one pot, luxuriously creamy Bittersweet Cashew Cream Truffle Squares recipe is incredibly quick and easy.  Valentine’s Day The February 14th love fest known as Valentine’s Day (or Galentine’s Day) most often includes a good dose of chocolate.

Fran Costigan's Raw Fudge Truffles – vegan, gluten-free, no-oil, low-sweetener

I’m so happily surprised by the outcome of this super easy recipe for raw (or unroasted) chocolate almond coconut fudge truffles. The texture reminds me of brigaderios, the iconic South American truffle that is higher in fat, a little more work, but decidedly delicious. These raw fudge truffles are also a bit chewy, definitely chocolatey, but […]

Tahini-Tella

Fran Costigan's vegan Tahini-Tella

Recently, while cleaning up the kitchen after my dinner, I looked at the jar of tahini I had just used—I’d made hummus–and spied the always-present baggie of chopped chocolate on my counter. And in literally 5-minutes, using just those two ingredients plus 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla, a sugar free Tahini-Tella Spread was made. Who among […]
