Drottningpaj med cashewvaniljsås och lönnsirap

En paj som känns härligt rustik. Pajskalet kan fyllas med olika bär och frukter - låt säsongen bestämma! Använder du bär eller frukt som ger ifrån sig extra mycket vätska, så som blåbär och hallon, är det bra att blanda dem med lite potatismjöl för att undvika en allt för blöt fyllning.

Vaniljsåsen håller i minst en vecka, och är god att även ringla över gröt, våfflor eller pannkakor - så passa på att göra lite extra när du väl är i farten!

Drottninggalette med vaniljsås

4-6 portioner

Pajskal

3 dl dinkelmjöl

1 msk kokossocker + extra att strö med

1/2 tsk äkta vaniljpulver

75 gram rapsolja

1/2 dl iskallt vatten

Lönnsirap till servering

Fyllning

150 gram blåbär, tinade

150 gram hallon, tinade

1 msk potatismjöl

2 msk kokossocker

Vaniljsås

1 dl cashewnötter, blötlagda i 4 timmar

1/2 dl vatten

1/2 tsk äkta vaniljpulver

Gör såhär

Blanda mjöl, socker och vaniljpulver. Nyp ihop med olja och vatten till en deg. Täck med plastfolie, eller återanvändbara vaxpapper, och lägg i kylen i minst 30 minuter.

Blanda ihop ingredienserna till fyllningen.

Värm ugnen till 200°C.

Kavla ut till degen en rund platta på ett bakplåtspapper. Lägg fyllningen i mitten på plattan, med ca 3 cm pajkant runt om. Vik pajkanterna över fyllningen. Strö över lite kokossocker. Lägg på en bakplåt.

Baka pajen i ugnen i 30-35 minuter, tills den fått in färg.

Häll av och skölj cashewnötterna. Mixa med vatten och vaniljpulver till en slät sås i en stark blender.

Servera galetten ringlad med vaniljsås, och gärna lite lönnsirap.

- Scrolla ner för recept på svenska -

A smooth panna cotta with coconut all over — that’s a way to describe this dessert! Topped with a compote that is sweet yet and tangy. And a brittle that is pretty much to die for, so make sure to make a big batch as it goes very well on most things — or just nibbling on at it is!

En len pannacotta med kokos på bredden och tvären, skulle man kunna beskriva denna dessert som! Agar agar är hemligheten bakom konsistensen, och det är ett ämne som utvinns från rödalger. Du hittar agar agar i bakhyllan i välsorterade matbutiker eller i ekobutiker. Kompotten kan göras på i princip vilka bär eller frukt som helst, jag gillar kombinationen av söta jordgubbar och syrliga havtorn, och med ett gäng dadlar i blir balansen mellan sött och syrligt perfekt.

Mandelknäcken rekommenderar jag att göra en dubbel sats (minst) utav, den är nämligen riktigt god och kan så klart ätas för sig själv eller toppad på ungefär alla desserter du kan komma att tänka på!

Kokospannacotta med jordgubb- och havtornskompott och mandelknäck

4 portioner

Kokospannacotta

4 dl kokosmjölk

2 msk mandelmjöl

1 nypa flingsalt

Till servering

Färsk mynta

Gör såhär

Pannacotta: Koka upp alla ingredienser till pannacottan i en kastrull, låt sjuda i 3 minuter under omrörning så att agar agar-pulvret säkert löses upp. Låt svalna något.

Kompott: Mixa jordgubbar och havtorn tills slätt. Passera genom finmaskig sil för att avlägsna kärnorna från havtornen. Mixa ihop med dadlarna. Fördela i 4 glas. Häll försiktigt pannacottasmeten över. Ställ in i kylen och låt stelna i minst 1 timme.

Mandelknäck: Värm ugnen till 175°C. Blanda ihop kokossocker, kokossirap, kokosolja och salt. Vänd ner mandelflarn och mandelmjöl. Blanda ihop till en kletig blandning, klicka sedan ut 4 klickar på en bakplåt. Baka i ugn i 5-7 minuter, tills de flutit ut till knäckiga flarn. Låt svalna helt.

Bryt mandelknäcken över pannacottan vid servering. Garnera med mynta.

Sötnötiga havrekakor med mandelsmör 

Ger 10 kakor

Efterrätter som går att förbereda helt är en god idé när det vankas trerätters tycker jag. Att de dessutom kan extraknäcka som lyxiga frukostkakor, eller eftermiddagsfika är ett stort plus! Du kan variera innehållet beroende på vad du gillar eller har hemma; cashewnötter, mandlar och mandelsmör kan bytas ut mot samma mängder av andra nötter, fröer och nöt- eller frösmör.

Ingredienser

2 msk chiafrön

1 dl vatten

1 tsk malen kanel

1/2 tsk vaniljpulver

1 nypa flingsalt

2 dl havregryn

1 dl cashewnötter + extra till garnering

1 dl pumpakärnor

1 dl mandelsmör, eller annat nötsmör

3/4 dl kokossirap, eller lönnsirap

Till garnering

1/4 dl finhackade mandlar (eller andra fröer / nötter som du haft i kakorna)

Gör såhär

Värm ugnen till 175°C.

Koka upp vattnet, blanda med chiafröna i en bunke och låt svälla i 5 minuter. Vänd ner kanel, vaniljpulver, salt och havregryn. Hacka cashewnötterna grovt, blanda ner i bunken tillsammans med pumpakärnorna. Tillsätt mandelsmör och sirap, rör runt till en smet. Forma till ca 10 bollar, tryck ut till runda platta kakor på en ugnsplåt. Garnera med cashewnötter och hackad mandel.

Baka i ugnen i 30 minuter, tills kakorna fått en lätt gyllene färg. Låt svalna.

Förvara i lufttät burk i kylen eller frysen.

Ginger bread parsnip cake with yoghurt frosting, candied walnuts and dried lingonberries

- In collaboration with Electrolux -

The ultimate winter feast cake! I’m using lots of flavours reminding me of winter to get that christmassy touch. Also, try switch parsnips for carrots if that’s what you have at home - or a combination of the two. A perfect way to use those last few carrots you find in the fridge.

Happy baking, and happy winter fika to you!

This Christmas I’ve partnered up with Swedish brand Electrolux to share a few of my favourite holiday baked goods (also check out my LUSSEKATTER), but also a creamy pumpkin soup with salad topping and a frothy carrot smoothie with tahini! Also I aim to inspire you to prepp your kitchen with the must-have-appliances which will help you get even more creative in the kitchen and cook even more yummy food - easy as 1 - 2 -3 . As Electrolux since their beginning have been creating products that make home life a little bit easier and a whole lot better, aims to create a better future PLUS works a lot on sustainable eating (and to inspire people to eat more plant based) it felt like a p-e-r-f-e-c-t match to team up.

You’ll see more of Electrolux and myself together throughout 2020 and I cannot wait to share it with you. And Ps. For this recipe I’ve used their Kitchen Assistant, makes baking easier for sure! Also I’ve got a green one and it’s really pretty.

Ginger bread parsnip cake with yoghurt frosting, candied walnuts and dried lingonberries

Makes 14-16 pieces

Ingredients

4 1/2 dl oat flour

2 1/2 dl oat buckwheat flour

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp ground cardamom

1 tsp ground ginger

1 pinch ground cloves

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp bicarbonate of soda

1 tsp flakey salt

2 dl oat mylk

3 msk chia seeds

3 1/2 dl parsnip, grated and loosely packed

3/4 dl maple syrup

2 1/2 dl apple mash

Candied walnuts

1 dl walnuts

1 Tbsp maple syrup

1 pinch flakey salt

For serving

Thick plant yoghurt

Dried lingonberries *, or cranberries

Dried flowers, optional

Maple syrup

How to

Mix all the dry ingredients. Bring the oat milk to a boil, remove from heat and add the chia seeds. Stir to avoid chia seeds from clumping. Let sit while you grate the parsnip.

Add parsnip to the flour mix and start your kitchen assistant to combine. Add chia seed mix, parsnip, maple syrup and apple mash. 

Pre heat oven to 175°C. Line a round baking tin with baking paper in the bottom (I use a spring form pan with removable sides to make it easier to remove the cake after baking). Spread out the batter in the tin / pan. Bake in the oven for 50 minutes. Let cool.

Roughly chop the walnuts. Toast them in a dry pan on medium heat, when starting to smell nutty add the maple syrup and fry for another minute. Sprinkle with salt, remove from heat and put the walnuts on a plate. Let cool.

Top the cake with yoghurt, candied walnuts and dried lingonberries. Sprinkle dried flower on top and finish off by drizzling with maple syrup.

* Hey! Dry your own lingonberries! Toss 1 package of frozen lingonberries with 1/2 tsp rapeseed oil and put on a baking tray. Dry in the oven at 50° over night, or until dry.

Banana bread with coconut yoghurt, almond sauce and apple cinnamon compote

When I was in the making of my second book The new green protein I probably baked this banana bread at least 20 times. Over and over again, to make sure it got exactly the way I wanted. The perfect combination of sweet and savoury, moist yet not-as-moist-as-a-pancake and the perfect ratio of spices.

After all those baking sessions this one became a favourite and I more often then not have a loaf, sliced so I can take out 1 or 10 pieces, in my freezer for all kinds of occasions: weekend breakfasts, brunch, when having soup and I want something semi-sweet on the side, when I realise I don’t have any dessert to serve for tonights dinner party AND SO ON.

I use green banans for this recipe, just when they are soft enough to mash (if using too unripe ones they are hard as rocks), both because green bananas contain more fiber (instead of sugar) but most because I don’t like the super sweet banana flavour yellow bananas have. When using green this bread becomes both savoury AND sweet, and I serve then both as a dessert as pictured below - but also topped with hummus / leafy greens / avocado / cress / whatever! Both DELISH if you ask me!

So, done with the writing - time to bake some banana bread!

Banana bread with coconut yoghurt, almond sauce and apple cinnamon compote

Makes 1 loaf

Ingredients

3 dl / 1.25 cups oat flour

2 1/2 dl / 1.5 cups almond flour

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp ground cardamom

1 tsp ground ginger

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

3 small green bananas

1 1/2 dl / 0.6 cups almond mylk

3 Tbsp chia seeds

1/2 dl / 0.2 cups cold pressed olive oil + extra for oiling the baking tin

Almond sauce

1/2 dl / 0.2 cups unsweetened almond butter

2 Tbsp water

a pinch of flakey salt

Cinnamon apple compote

2 red apples, cut in to pieces, peel still on

a splash of water

1 tsp ground cinnamon

a pinch of flakey salt

For serving

Coconut yoghurt

Ground cinnamon for dusting

How to

Pre heat the oven to 175°C.

Mix all the dry ingredients, except for the chia seeds, in a bowl.

Peel and mash the bananas until chunky.

Heat up the almond mylk, stirr together with the chia seeds, let sit for 5 minutes until you get your “chia egg”. Add to the dry ingredients, together with the banana mash and oil.

Oil a baking tin, put baking paper in the bottom. Pour in the batter. Bake in the middle of the oven for 55-60 minutes, until the banana bread turns golden. Take out, let cool for 5 minutes. Take out the loaf from the tin and put it on a cooling rack. Let cool completely. Slice it.

Mix the ingredients for the almond sauce until smooth. Salt to taste.

Fry the apple pieces in a splash of water together with the cinnamon until soft and sweet.

Serve a piece of banana bread with a dollop of coconut yoghurt, a big spoonful of cinnamon apple compote, drizzle with almond sauce and dust with cinnamon for a fancy look!

Hope you like it!

Trifle with berry sauce, coconut yoghurt and granola

One of those desserts (aka weekend brekky or brunch) which looks very pretty yet is super easy to make. The perfect combo! All the different components can be prepared, and be ready to put together right before serving!

When it’s apple season, or rhubarb season you could make an apple compote or rhubarb compote - or a combination OR a fresh berry and rhubarb compote instead! Well you get my point, the “sauce” can be done in quite a few ways!

Trifle with berry sauce, coconut yoghurt and granola

4 portions

Berry sauce

250 grams frozen berries (for example raspberries and lingonberries)

2 Tbsp water

2 Tbsp chia seeds

1/2 tsp pure vanilla powder

1 pinch salt

For serving

2 1/2 dl / 1 cup coconut yoghurt, or any plant based yoghurt of your choice

2 dl / 0.8 cups granola (for example my Sweet buckwheat granola with parsnip or my Sweet date granola if you want to make your own), or just a mix or toasted nuts and/or seeds

freeze dried berries and berry powder (optional)

Dried flower sprinkles (optional)

How to

Put the berries and water in a saucepan, bring to a boil and let simmer for 5 minutes. Mix until a sauce using an immersion blender. Pour the sauce through a fine mesh strainer to remove any seeds (save the seeds and put in your next smoothie!). Add the chia seeds, mix using a spoon to avoid chia seeds from clumping, let cool.

Layer the berry sauce, coconut yoghurt and granola in 4 glasses. Garnish with freeze dried berries, berry powder and flower sprinkles. Serve!

Cashew ice cream bites with crispy chocolate coating

Most times when I make “raw desserts” like these ones I use buckwheat in the base as I think it can get quite “heavy” and almost too filling if there is nuts and seeds in the whole thing. PLUS the toasted buckwheat gives a great crispy texture!

This goodies takes a bit of preparation or - more accurately - that you have time to do the cake the day before you’d want to serve/enjoy it. Mostly because the cake needs a good 8 hours or too so set in the freezer. The steps before though doesn’t take much time at all and aren’t tricky. So - let’s get baking right this second so that you could enjoy a bite or two (or 5) tomorrow!

Cashew ice cream bites with crispy chocolate coating

Makes 12

Chocolate layer

4 dl / 1.6 cups whole buckwheat groats

24 fresh dates, pitted

1 dl / 0.4 cups cacao, preferably raw

2 pinches sea salt

3 Tbsp light tahini *

Ice cream filling

3 dl / 1.2 cups cashew nuts, soaked for 2-4 hours

2 dl / 0.8 cups coconut milk or oat cream

10 fresh dates, pitted

1 tsp pure vanilla powder

1 pinch sea salt

100 grams frozen (or fresh if in season and locally grown) blueberries, thawed

25 grams freeze-dried berries, for example raspberries and strawberries

How to

Soak the cashews for 2-4 hours.

Pre heat the oven to 175°C / 350°F.

Put the buckwheat in a fine mesh strainer. Bring about 5 dl of water to a boil. Pour over the buckwheat, then rinse with cold water. Put the buckwheat on a baking tray, toast in the oven until dry and crisp - takes about 10-15 minutes. Stirr every now and then.

Mix the toasted buckwheat for a minute in a food processor. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix to a dough. You might want to add a bit more water if the dough feels too dry. Divide the dough in half. Roll the doughs, one at a time, in to thin “sheets” between two baking papers using a rolling pin. You want the sheets to be the same size as the bottom of a small baking tin which you’ll use to freeze the ice cream bites in. Put one sheet in the bottom of the baking tin (with a baking paper underneath). Put in the freezer for 30 minutes.

Rinse and drain the cashews. Mix with the rest of the ingredients - except the blueberries - until completely smooth using a blender. Pour 2/3 of the mix on top of the chocolate base. Add the blueberries to the blender and mix until completely smooth once more. Pour over the cashew base. Sprinkle over the freeze-dried berries. Put in the fridge for 2 hour. Take out, and finish by adding the second crispy chocolate layer on top, lightly press in down. Put back in the fridge and let sit over night.

Remove from the fridge and cut in to small pieces, to get the prettiest pieces it’s easiest to cut them straight out of the freezer - however I prefer to wait 5-10 minutes before serving. It’s THE BEST, trust me! Even though it’s reallyyyyy heard not to start eating them straight away…

HOPE YOU LIKE THEM!

*If you cannot find light one I’d suggest you’d use cashew butter instead, as a dark tahini will give to much flavour here - we want to get the “humble” flavour/quality wihich both light tahini and cashew butter have - unlike other nut/seed butters (which I LOVE too, but just not here).

Chocolate peanut butter truffle bites

Might be one of the most heavenly chocolate truffles I’ve ever tasted. Very easy to make, with only a few ingredients and melting-in-your-mouth-kind-of-yummy. Any further description unnecessary - let’s get baking!

Chocolate peanut butter truffle bites

Makes 12

Ingredients

3 dl / 1.2 cups rolled oats

1 dl / 0.4 dl cacao (preferably raw)

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1 pinch flakey salt

12 fresh dates, pitted

1/2 dl / 0.2 cups unsweetened crunchy peanut butter

Frosting

8 fresh dates, pitted

3 Tbsp cold pressed coconut oil, room temperature

5 Tbsp water

1/2 dl / 0.2 cups cacao (preferably raw)

1 pinch flakey salt

How to

For the base: Mix oats, cacao, cinnamon and salt in a food processor. Add dates and peanut butter and mix until a sticky batter (I like when there are still some crunch to it so I tend to not mix until completely smooth). Add some more water if it feels too dry. Firmly press the dough in to a a small baking mold (covered with parchment paper). Put in the fridge.

For the frosting: Mix all the ingredients until completely smooth in a food processor. Spread out the frosting over the base. Put back in the fridge for an hour before serving.

Cut in to 12 pieces. Powder with extra cacao and sprinkle with salt before serving. DIG IN!

PS. Store in the fridge, or freezer (if any left…)

Savoury banana muffins with ginger and cinnamon

This a my twist on my beloved banana bread from my second cookbook The new green protein, in the form of a muffin! Moist, savoury and perfect to bring to your picnic, as snack or serve for weekend breakfast. For variation try adding berries to the batter before baking them!

Also, fo a even more savoury muffins add a handful of finely grated carrot or parsnip!

Savoury banana muffins with ginger and cinnamon

Makes 12

Ingredients

2 dl / 0.8 cups oat flour

2 dl / 0.8 cups buckwheat flour

2 tsp ground ginger

2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp bicarbonate of soda

3 green bananas (as in not the most ripe ones)

3 Tbsp shia seeds

1 1/2 dl / 1 cup unsweetened oat mylk, or your choice of plant mylk OR water

1/2 dl / 0.2 cups cold pressed rapeseeds oil

How to

Pre heat the oven to 175 degrees Celsius / 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Bring the oat mylk to a boil, remove from heat and mix with the chia seeds. Let sit for 10 minutes until you get a pudding, mix half way through to avoid the chia seeds from clumping.

Peel and mash the bananas with a fork.

Combine all the dry ingredients in a bowl.

Add the chia mix, banana and oil to the dry mix and stir until you get a sticky batter. Divide in to 12 muffin moulds. Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes, until the muffins get all golden.

ENJOY!

Ps. Check if the muffins are ready sticking a toothpick in the center of the muffin, the toothpick should come out clean with only a couple of crumbs clinging to the sides when the muffins are done!

Loveable (raw)yum

This is my - semi raw - take on a Swedish classic called Kärleksmums. Chocolaty, slightly salty, sweet, crunchy, creamy and PACKED with plant based protein!

The recipe is from my second book The new green protein where I call them “Kärleksfulla (raw)mums”. That’s not all, it’s also my first ever recipe shared in a live television show! This very morning that happened! So, let’s just say that from this day on this cake will be quite special - not only because it’s yummy and works for as well fika as an afternoon snack but also because it reminds me to sometimes take a step back and enjoy the feeling of reaching milestones. And appreciating where hard work has taken me. Well done!

So, I’ll probably make another batch as soon as I get home (the friendly people at SVT enjoyed it all) and spend the rest of the evening with a couple of blankets, lit candles and all my new cookbooks that have finally reached me!

I know you wonder about the recipe. Here it comes!

Loveable (raw)yum

12 pieces

Base

2 dl / 0.8 cups toasted whole buckwheat *

1 dl / 0.4 cups pepitas

1 dl / 0.4 cups raw cacao

10 fresh dates, pitted

2 Tbsp cold pressed coconut oil

1-2 Tbsp water

Ganache

2 Tbsp cold pressed coconut oil

1/2 dl / 0.2 cups raw cacao

3/4 dl / 0.3 cups water

8 fresh dates, pitted

1 pinch unrefined salt

1/2 dl / 0.4 cups shredded coconut

How to

Mix all the dry ingredients until a fine crumble using a food processor, it’s nice to keep some of the buckwheat whole as that will give an extra crunch! Add dates, oil and water and mix in to a dough. Press out the dough in a small baking tray, put in the fridge.

Melt the oil on low heat. Mix all the ingredients for the ganache, except for the shredded coconut, until completely smooth. Preferably use a high speed blender if you have one - or continue mixing using a food processor - this might take a bit more time.

Spread the ganache over the base, sprinkle over the shredded coconut. the cake in the fridge for at least 20 minutes before serving. I even keep mine in the freezer as I love my bite properly chilled!

ENJOY!

• Toasted buckwheat: Put the buckwheat in a fine mesh strainer. Bring some water to a boil and then pour over the buckwheat. Rinse with cold water and let drain for a few minutes. Toast in a dry pan, on medium heat, until golden and crisp. Let cool.

2 ingredient Apple compote

This time of year I have apples in most of the food I cook; grated in my morning porridge, mixed in to a creamy soup, dried in pieces for my granola, cut in half and baked until soft and sweet then serve with toasted seeds and a dollop of whipped coconut cream, cut in pieces and tossed together with root veggies….

AND cooked in to delicious natural sweetened apple compotes. It’s super easy to make and can be served with lentil stews, porridges, as a dessert with coconut cream and granola and lots more!!

2 ingredient Apple compote

Yields; depends on how much apples you get hold of!

Ingredients

Seasonal apples, of different kind and in different colors

ground ginger/cardamom/cinnamon

1 pinch of flakey salt

How to

Core the apples and cut them in to pieces. Put in a sauce pan and add water just enough to cover the bottom, but not covering all of the apples. Bring to a simmer and then gently simmer for 5-15 minutes (depending on how much apples you use), until the apples are soft. Mash the apples in to a compote using a fork. Add your choice of ginger/cardamom/cinnamon - or all of them! Salt to taste. Let cool. Put in an air tight glass jar.

The compote can be stored in an air tight glass jar for up to 5 days in the fridge. If you’re making a bigger batch you can put a bunch of filled glass jars in the fridge - and take out one every week! Also - it’s a great idea to freeze in portion sizes using ice cube molds - perfect to take out and put on your morning porridge!

Raw chocolate ganache

Raw chocolate ganache

Frosting for 1 cake

Ingredients

8 fresh dates, pitted

1/2 dl / 0.2 US cups cold pressed coconut oil

3/4 dl / 0.3 US cups water

1/2 dl / 0.4 US cups raw cacao

1 tbsp ground cinnamon

a good pinch of flakey salt

How to

Mix all the ingredients for the ganache until completely smooth in a high speed blender. Add more salt to taste.

Spread on top of any cake, for example my buckwheat base used in the recipe for my Tahini and caramel mousse truffles, and chill well before serving.

Tahini and caramel mousse truffles with raspberries

Carob is a seed that comes from a brown pod of a tree of the same name, originally from the Mediterranean. The flavour is a bit similar to cacao - but with a more caramel touch to it. Except from the great flavour it's said to have quite a few health benefits such as; containing good fibers and minerals, contains a good amount of antioxidants and the seed is also naturally low in fat. Carob can normally be found in well stocked food stores, health food stores and online. However, if you cannot get hold of any carob, raw cacao would work just as fine. 

I like the truffles best properly chilled - close to frozen. Therefore I tend to always store them (if there are any left that is...) in the freezer. Which is good to make sure they stay fresh for as long as possible anyway!

The combination of a sweet yet light base, decadent caramel mousse and a dark chocolate top layer with hints of goji berries is just a prefect combination - time to get baking!

 

Tahini and caramel mousse truffles with raspberries

About 16 truffles

Buckwheat and coconut base

2 dl / 0.8 US cups whole buckwheat, soaked for 8 hours or over night

2 dl / 0.8 US cups grated coconut

8 fresh dates, pitted

1 pinch sea salt

Caramel mousse layer

1/2 dl / 0.2 US cups light tahini

1 dl / 0.4 US cups coconut cream

1 ripe avocado

1 1/2 dl / 0.6 US cups carob powder (to be found in well stocked food stores, health food stores and online)

1/2 tsp sea salt

8 fresh dates, pitted

Chocolate layer

1/2 dl / 0.4 US cups cold pressed coconut oil

1 dl / 0.8 US cups cacao (preferably raw)

1 pinch sea salt

1/2 dl / 0.4 US cups goji berries

How to

Drain and rinse the buckwheat carefully. 

Mix all the ingredients for the base in a food processor until everything comes together and gets a smooth texture. Cover a small baking tin with plastic film. Press the dough into the tin. Put in the freezer. 

Peel and deseed the avocado. Mix all the ingredients for the mousse in a high speed blender until completely smooth (could also be done in a good food processor, but might take some more time). Spread out the mousse over the base, put back in the freezer. 

Heat the coconut oil on low heat, you want it to be liquid but not hot. Add the cacao and salt and whisk together. Let cool. Drizzle over the mousse layer, making sure every bit gets covered. Add the goji berries on top. Put back in the freezer for at least 1 hour. 

Take out the cake from the freezer 15 minutes prior serving. Cut in to smaller pieces. Serve topped with fresh raspberries and fresh mint.

Enjoy!

Soft raspberry ice cream with whipped coconut cream and hazelnuts

A quick dessert, or why not a weekend breakfast och brunch. That's one of many clever things about nourishing food, you can have them at anytime from breakfast to dessert! Avocado is the secret ingredient which makes this quick ice cream irresistibly soft and creamy. Try substitute raspberries for blueberries, blackberries or a mix of you favourite berries!

And oh, if you can't find hazelnuts without skin in your grocery you can scroll down to find my tips on how to remove skin from hazelnuts (as it has the tendency to give a bitter taste we want to remove it). Plus tips on how to best deseed a pomegranate - knowledge you cannot live without!

Now, who wants soft ice cream in 15 minutes?!

Soft raspberry ice cream with whipped coconut cream and hazelnuts

Serves 4

15 minutes

Ingredients

3 ripe avokados

500 g frozen raspberries

1 tsp pure vanilla powder

4 fresh dates, pitted (use more for a sweeter taste)

Topping

1 1/2 dl / 0.6 US cups coconut cream

1 dl / 0.4 US cups pomegranate seeds

1/2 dl / 0.4 US cups toasted hazelnuts, skin removed 

2 tbsp cacao nibs

Fresh lemon balm

How to

Whip the coconut cream until fluffy. If you find it hard to get it fluffy you can let it sit in the fridge for about 30 minute, as that will make it more firm and easier to whip.

Thaw the raspberries for 5 minutes. Mix with the rest of the ingredients for the ice cream using a immersion blender, food processor och preferably high speed blender until SUPER smooth. Add more dates for a sweeter touch.

Divide in to 4 small (or 2 big if you're on that mood) bowls and top with coconut cream, hazelnuts, pomegranate seeds, cacao nibs and last but not least fresh lemon balm. Eat straight away!!

Toast and peel hazelnuts

Pre heat the oven to 175 degrees celsius. Put the hazelnuts on a baking tray and toast for about 10 minutes, until the skin starts to crackle. Let cool. Put in a clean kitchen towel and rub to remove the skin.

Deseed a pomegranate

Cut of the top crown and the bottom of the fruit. Now carefully cut the fruit from the top to the bottom, along the inner gentle ridges/fruit membrane which you are suposed to see once the top and bottom are removed. Normally you'll get about 6 cuts. Open the pomegranate, so that you get separate sections. Now you can easily deseed the pomegranate, using your fingers, preferably over a bowl. Remove any membranes that might come with the seeds.

This is a recipe that I created for Swedish vegan food magasin VEGO some time ago! Photo and recipe by me.

Almond and apricot bliss balls with wintery spices

Sweet, tangy and chunky at the same time. This is my favourite seasonal bliss balls which I make with toasted almonds, dried organic apricots and all my favourite wintery spices. Make a big batch and store in the freezer - ready to be taken out and served whenever during the upcoming season! 

I make my own "wintery spices blend" that I use both for bliss balls like these but also in hot and cold porridge and hot drinks throughout the season. Try making your own (or use my "recipe" below), using your favourite spices, or by blends like "ginger bread spices" found in the grocery store. 

Almond and apricot bliss balls with wintery spices

Makes about 14 bliss balls

Ingredients

2 dl almonds (preferably toasted for extra flavour) 

1 dl oats (use gluten free if gluten intolerant)

1 dl shredded coconut

12 dried organic apricots

2 tbsp cold pressed coconut oil

2 tbsp freshly pressed orange juice (optional) 

1-2 tbsp almond milk or water (optional)

1 tsp ground cinnamon 

1/2 tsp ground ginger

1/2 tsp ground cardamon

1 pinch ground cloves

1 pinch sea salt 

How to

Pulse almonds, oats, shredded coconut and spices until coarsely chopped * in a food processor. Add the apricots and mix until crumbly, then add the coconut oil and orange juice and mix just until the mixture sticks together. You might have to add a bit of almond milk or water (especially if not using orange juice. This usually depends on how big/soft the apricot are)  to get it to stick together. You want to mixture to be slightly sticky. 

Form mixture in to balls and roll in shredded coconut. Place in the fridge and served slightly chilled - thats how I like them best! 

* I like having quite big bites of almonds in my bliss balls! You could also mix until a flour like mixture before adding your wet ingredients, this will give your bliss balls another consistency. 

Buckwheat chocolate bliss balls with blueberry and coconut

I really love almonds, nuts and seeds. As a snack, on top of a salad, on my morning porridge, mixed to a nut butter and in raw desserts. Nuts contain LOTS of greats nutrition, and they also contain a lot of fat. Good fat, but still, even good things can be to much. Therefore I like to sometimes use toasted buckwheat whenever I make raw desserts or bliss balls for afternoon snack. Buckwheat groats contains lots of great nutrition, but less fat then nuts and seeds. And also - the toasted buckwheat gives a delicious crunchy texture, and it's gluten free. 

So, I came up with a simple recipe for a perfect and delicious little ball with buckwheat instead of the commonly used nuts or seeds. This buckwheat bliss ball is the perfect “fika” but also a great afternoon snack. I made them the other day, during one of the retreats here in France this summer - and everybody loved them. The chocolate together with the blueberry is a really tasty combination. And the tiny bit of sea salt that I always add makes all the difference. 

A few things to have in mind is: add more cacao for an even more chocolaty flavor, add more blueberry power for even more of a berry taste, and more dates for a sweeter touch. Mix it until you make it - so to speak! 

Enough writing. So, here is the recipe for these little ones, hope you like them! 

Buckwheat chocolate bliss balls with blueberry

Makes about 20 bliss balls

Ingredients

2 1/2 dl dried whole buckwheat groats (buy toasted ones if you find in your store, then you kan skip the first instruction below on how to toast them yourself)

3/4 dl cacao 

2 tbsp blueberry powder 

A pinch of flakey salt 

10 fresh dates, pitted 

2 tbsp cold pressed coconut oil 

1-2 tbsp water

Shredded coconut for rolling

How to

Put the buckwheat in a fine mesh strainer. Bring some water to a boil and then pour over the buckwheat. Rinse with cold water and let drain for a few minutes. Toast in a dry pan, on medium heat, until golden and crisp. Let cool. 

Mix buckwheat, cacao and blueberry power until some of the buckwheat has been crushed. I like my bliss balls to have quite a few whole buckwheat groats left as I like the crunchy consistency, but you can also mix until a flour like consistency. Add dates, coconut oil and water, mix until a dough. You might want to add a bit more water to get the dough to stick together. 

Form the dough in to about 20 balls, roll in shredded coconut. Put on a plate and let chill in the fridge for at least 30 minites before serving. Allowing time in the fridge (or freezer if you cannot wait to dig in!) will make them even more firm and - if you ask me - even tastier!

Coconut and matcha chia trifle w blueberry mousse and date granola

Coconut and matcha chia trifle w blueberry mousse, topped with golden granola! I call it weekend breakfast, brunch, mid day-snack and dessert, just to make sure I can have it as often as possible. Prepare the day before, or even a few days before as it keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days, and you'll have things delicious thing ready in no time! I top the whole thing with my favorite granola, which I call golden as it looks kind of golden thanks to turmeric which is one of the super spices that gives the granola that special and wonderful flavor. Try it for yourself! 

Coconut matcha chia trifle w blueberry mousse and date granola

Serves 2 as a steady breakky

Chia pudding

1 dl creamy coconut milk

2 dl water

2 tsp organic matcha powder

1/2 tsp pure vanilla powder

2 tbsp chia seeds 

Blueberry mousse

1 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted  

3 dl frozen blueberries

1 fresh date, pitted

Topping

Your favorite granola, try my sweet date granola here

How to
Whisk together coconut milk, water, matcha powder, pure vanilla powder, a pinch of Himalayan salt and chia seeds in a glass jar. Wait 10 minutes and then whisk again to prevent clumping. Cover and put in the fridge over night. You could manage with only 3-4 hours but I find that it gets even more creamy if you let it sit for at least 8 hours.

Remove from fridge and stir well before serving. Mix avocado, blueberries and fresh date until a smooth mousse.

Portion the chia mixture to bowls or glass jars. Scoop the blueberry mouse on top. Serve with fruits or berries + your favorite granola + fresh lemon balm or mint.

ENJOY!
