Strawberry Coconut Marbled Fudge (vegan)

Hello! Made this delicious vegan fudge the other day. Check out the pretty marbling! This is superrrrrr simple to make. No cooking required. This is almost raw and definitely vegan :-) 

When I visited London in November last year, I saw quite a few shops selling fudge and I bought some home :) It lasted better in London though, where the weather was fridge like and the fudge could survive out in the open. After trying that fudge, I've concluded that the texture of this is pretty fudge like! I do hope you guys try this recipe out :) Coconut butter is different from coconut oil by the way, I got mine from iHerb.com 

Use the code LPQ082 for up to $10 off your first order ^^ 

This was my first time working with coconut butter and the consistency is really interesting! When it touches any mildly cold ingredient, even just the 1/2 tbsp if maple syrup I added to the white portion of the fudge, it instantly starts to thicken and solidify!

Bounty Cups

Have you ever wondered what would happen if Reese's Peanut Butter Cups had a baby with Bounty Bars? No you probably haven't but anyway, this is what would happen. Bounty cups! Crunchy shells of dark chocolate with a soft coconut filling! Such an easy recipe that requires minimal cooking and washing and ingredients. 3 ingredients, 3 steps.

I used little heart shaped silicone moulds from daiso which made them easy to remove :) you can also do them the traditional way in small cupcake liners I guess. 

RAW VEGAN: I used dark chocolate for this, but you can use raw chocolate made of cocoa powder and coconut oil and agave if you like! Maple syrup can be subbed with agave.

What you'll need

35g 85% dark chocolate

1/8 cup dehydrated shredded coconut (desiccated works too)

1 tsp maple syrup

How to

1. Prepare 6 little silicone cups or liners. Melt dark chocolate. I microwaved for 1 min, stirred, and repeated till it was melted and smooth! Pour a little into the cup and spread up the sides. Put in the freezer.

2. Meanwhile mix maple syrup and coconut. Remove cups from freezer and fill up with coconut!

3. Pour melted chocolate over the coconut to seal it in and freeze again until the chocolate is set. It'll take less than 5 minutes (okay don't hold me to this I'm estimating)! Remove from cups and GOBBLE DOWN.

Lemon Coconut Protein Crinkles

Made these cookies a grand total of 3 times. The first two times they looked more volcano like and were rather dry. Third times the charm I guess :) These make your kitchen and hands smell nice because of the lemon zest!

Crinkle cookies aren't very common in Singapore, where I live, so I made my own! They are sort of a cake-cookie, and have cracks across the top surface of the cookie! Instead of rolling mine in powdered sugar I used ground dried coconut! Definitely healthier :) This cookie is fairly low in fat but high in protein!

About 6 cookies:

What you'll need

1 scoop vanilla protein powder

1/2 cup oat flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 cup greek yogurt

1 tbsp honey or slightly more to taste

3 tbsp whisked egg/1 small egg

Lemon zest of 1 lemon

1/4 tsp vanilla extract 

3 tbsp dried coconut 

How to

1. Combine the first 3 ingredients. 

2. Whisk together remaining ingredients, except coconut. Next combine both mixtures. Freeze for 1h or longer.

Preheat oven to 180C.

3. Blend 3 tbsp dried coconut as fine as possible. Get a tbsp of cookie dough, form into a ball, roll in coconut, place on prepared baking sheet. Repeat until dough is used up. 

4. Bake for 10min.

SGFS: Healthy single serving kuih dadar

OH MY GOSH THIS WAS SO GOOD ASDFGHJKL. Maybe because I'm bias to coconut and gula melaka :'D Another addition to my Singapore food series: healthy kuih dadar! This was so easy to make! Kuih Dadar is essentially a pandan (screw pine) crepe filled with sweet yummy grated coconut. I need moreeeee. I got my grated coconut fresh from the market. 

What you'll need

1 egg white

25 cm long pandan leaf 

1/8 cup oats 

20g Palm sugar 

1 tbsp water

1/4 cup grated coconut 

How to

1. Blend egg white, pandan leaf and oats. 

2. Heat up a pan. Reduce fire to small. Pour pandan batter over the pan and spread out as thin as possible! 

3. When the bottom is cooked. Flip and cook the other side. 

4. To prepare the filling, boil palm sugar and water in a small saucepan. When boiling immediately reduce to a very small fire and stir in grated coconut. 

5. Place filling on the pandan crepe like this: 

6. Fold over the left and right edges, then roll the whole crepe up from bottom to top. Should look like this: 

MAKE THIS AND THANK ME LATER BYE.

P.S Palm sugar is also known as coconut palm sugar or gula melaka. It is common in Asian countries. If you're from overseas you can get it from Asian grocery stores. It's a low GI sugar and is less processed than normal sugar. It has a really unique taste which I love :-) not to be confused with coconut sugar which is from the flower of the plant. Palm sugar comes from the sap! 

Chocolate coconut crusted french toast

Hi guys! French toast for this Sunday because who doesn't love french toast! I used gardenia 100% wholemeal bread. A lot of wholemeal breads out there are only like 60% wholemeal! So be careful haha. Not that you'll die if you eat non wholemeal bread ._. Just that bread is already processed and not so clean so the cleanest option would be wholemeal. I try to eat bread maximum once a week. And pasta once a week too! 

Oh yesterday I went to ikea to pick up some stuff for my new room cos I'll be moving soon and I got moose shaped wholemeal pasta! Normally cute pastas only come in the non wholemeal version so I was really excited about that. 

SGFS: Clean Coconut Curry

Singaporeans need their curry. Absolutely love how easy and delicious this chicken curry is! It's single serving like almost all my recipes. Enjoy xx

Raspberry Coconut Pancakes

These are so good! I think this is my most successful attempt of coconut flour pancakes and one of the most perfect pancake stacks I've ever made! Had a tiny bit of left over batter so I made a baby pancake for my parents. It was so adorable. 

Microwave cake diaries

Hello! Ever since my first microwaved mug muffin, I've made many different variations. The ingredients and steps for microwave cakes are usually really short which is why it seemed pointless to do a post for every one that I made. So in this post I'll be compiling all my successful microwave cake recipes for you guys. & in total (-: I like to make them in different shapes so I use mini baking pans mugs and bowls. That's why I can't call this post the mug muffin diaries ): Basic instructions for all the microwave cakes: Beat egg, add other ingredients and microwave for 2.5-3 min! Sweeteners are optional for all these microwave goodies! Feel free to play around and come up with your own recipes. Loads of fun I promise!

Choconut cupcakes

School starts tomorrow and although its kinda depressing that the holidays are over, I was in a good enough mood to bake some mini chocolate coconut cupcakes for my friends. Baked 20 and my class has over 30 people but I'm sure not everyone will want a cupcake. Even if its delicious, wheat free, sugar free and totally clean!
