Homemade Vanilla Extract

Making your own DIY vanilla is easy, once you assemble the components. Homemade vanilla extract is significantly less expensive than commercial vanilla, too. It’s easy and fun to make, although it is not instant: you’ll need 2-4 months of steeping time before it’s ready. Follow this vanilla extract recipe for great results.

Vegan Chocolate Sauce

It’s hard to believe this chocolate sauce is sugar-free and free from butter or coconut milk. It’s silky smooth, sweet, and chocolatey. I love it on nice cream, rice pudding, and all sorts of pies and cakes. It’s also a snap to make – takes just minutes. Date syrup is the key – see notes for buying tips.

Brown Rice Pudding (Instant Pot)
Feb 14, 2023

Great rice pudding is creamy with just the right amount of “bite” in the rice and a level of sweetness that’s appealing but not overwhelming. That’s what I was aiming for this this brown rice pudding without sugar, milk, or butter. Some raw cashews lend their creaminess, maple syrup provides the sweetness, and the optional spices of cardamom and cinnamon take it beyond the ordinary. With creative toppings (also healthy), you can create a dessert fit for a dinner party as well as a week night.

Plant-Based Mascarpone Cheese

Enjoy the indulgence of mascarpone cheese without dairy! This plant-based, oil-free version achieves its rich, silky texture from cashews, which are blended until they are completely dissolved. The maple syrup lends sweetness, and the lemon juice and zest provide the tang. Small amounts of nutritional yeast and miso give it just a hint of cheesiness. Suggestions for ways to use this vegan mascarpone are included.
