This 3 layered cake makes a great dessert, for your special dinner parties.

Very easy to make, pretty to look at and most of all absolutely delicious.

I have to confess these are not sugar-free. But they are a lovely treat. They are very much like a shortbread. They melt in your mouth. I keep the roll, raw in my freezer for when guests are about to arrive, thaw slightly (just enough to be able to slice) and then slice and bake. Mine never look perfectly round or the exact same shape, but that's how I work ( differently not a perfectionist)

Let's say '' they look ''Home Made ''

This is a lovely, easy recipe that can be used for sweet pies, for those that can not eat gluten.

While the pumpkins are cheap I have been pureeing them and freezing in bags. This recipe has no flour and so easy to make. If you don't love ginger like I do, add a pumpkin spice mix - nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves. Today I made 3 loaves and will freeze two of them.

I love a hot loaf, sliced with a slab of butter on it. No whisking and fussing around with this recipe. I also know I have one in the freezer for our next trip on the road.

This cake is loved by my guest's every time. Easy to make and it also can be frozen in slices. Serve with home-made ice cream.

Grass fed beef gelatin is a rich source of collagen.

Collagen is an abundant, protein in the body. It provides the infrastructure of the musculoskeletal system, the intestinal lining, the skin and is essential for optimal function and mobility.

In other words - Collagen holds your body together.

So that is why Marshmallow, homemade is a great snack. Bought marshmallows are loaded with corn syrup (GMO), food colouring and processed sugar. 

Try this with your kids  and build strong bones. 

If you need a quick dessert, this has to be the easiest I have ever made. I made 7 of these today for a group of people coming around for dinner. I made rhubarb and nectarine, pear, apricot and peach tarts. I will serve them with yogurt, but they would taste fantastic with my coconut cream and ginger ice cream recipe.

Some desserts taste better with ice cream, the problem with bought ice cream is, all the sugar added to it. Here is a recipe that is dairy free and you can control how much honey or malt rice syrup you use. I love ginger but you could change this to another flavour.

You only need a blender to make this.

Clafoutis is traditionally a fruit dessert, usually using cherries. I have used rhubarb from my freezer, which I picked from the garden last summer. I also added frozen raspberries, because they are not in season in NZ right now.  

I don't think there could be an easier and more delicious dessert to make, when you are having a dinner party.

Facts

- You don't need white sugar when making a meringue, use runny honey or malt rice syrup.

 - coconut flour works real well when thickening liquid for a sweet treat. You stir it in, straight (no mixing with water first) and it does not seem to give the fruit a coconut flavour.

I love this light dessert, with the soft pick rhubarb, showing off.

This recipe is not gluten free but only the base is gluten and with no processed sugar used, It is not overly sweet. I have used honey but you can use rice malt syrup.

I have made four tarts, two round and two long tart. I  x 3 the recipes, only because I have a dinner party tonight. I had leftover dough mixture (enough for another tart) so I have wrapped it up and labelled it, and into the freezer, it goes for another day.

Why apple and rhubarb - well, this is what is in my garden. You could use apricot, pear etc

Adults time, these amazing chocolates are just delicious. They are firm but soft to eat. Such a treat.
