This dessert is eaten as the dessert at Christmas Eve in Denmark (that’s when we celebrate Christmas). There will be one whole almond in the dish. The guest, who finds it in his/her dessert gets a present – but they are not allowed to tell that they have it before all the dessert has been…
Happy 4th Sunday of Advent! During my summer vacation I went through a 100 years old Danish pastry cook book. One of the recipes in the book was this vanilla wreath (which I assume is a Christmas cookie). I have altered the recipe so that it is vegan (by using plant based milk and butter)….
You might remember my oat balls from last year’s Christmas with apricot and orange. This year, I’m trying coffee and cranberries. And I’ve also been experimenting with making these without the use of conventional or vegan butter. This has been quite a struggle, since butter is a large part of the dessert. But I settled…
It’s first advent today. I’ll be celebrating eating these delicious vegan snowballs. They are super easy and fast to make, too. You can buy these snowballs in the supermarkets in Denmark during Christmas. However, I find that they are much more delicious when homemade (probably because I use more marcipan and less sugar than the…
Here’s a new slightly modified version of my chocolate chip cookies, this time with Nutella! If you don’t want to buy or have vegan hazelnut/chocolate spread, then regular spread works as well (e.g. Nutella). The longer you bake these, the more the spread will soak into the cookies. Consequently, you wont have a soft middle…
I put for what is probably about a year ago a recipe up on the blog for delicious Danish “træstammer”. This is a vegan updated, which is very similar to the old “regular” recipe. “Træstammer” is a traditional Danish cake, which you can buy in almost every bakery. The name directly translated is “lodge”. It…
Peanutbutter cookies are one of my favorite type of cookie. And I have therefore made a vegan version of my favorit recipe for them. They taste just as good as “regular” cookies. However, they might be a little more dry when you don’t use eggs, so make sure to accompanying them with a beverage! It…
Cute small ghosts, perfect for halloween. These are very similar to the Danish cake “træstammer”. The cake is pretty easy to make, however, it does require a lot of time, since you first have to make the filling, then the buttercream, and then put it all together.
This year’s halloween date balls are inspired by the animated creatures “Susuwatari” from the animated movie “Spirited Away”: These ball contains lots of dried fruits and nuts, as well as a lot of spices often associated with Christmas (at least in Denmark). They also do not contain gluten, refined sugar, or animal products! I made…
This cake is very similar to my carrot cupcakes. So if you were crazy about them, you will definitely like this cake, too! My family has tried it, too, and they don’t like cupcakes very much, but they liked this cake! So, if oceans of butter and sugar isn’t your thing, either, you will definitely…
