A new favourite recipe of mine, I am delighted to have found an alternative to the chocolate rice crackles that appear on children’s party tables. The texture of these quinoa-based crackles is divine with the shredded coconut offering a nice chewy texture. With a slight salty sweet flavour, I bet you’ll love these as much as I do. Top these with Tahini Choc Easter Eggs.
This is a super simple and delicious chocolatey treat that takes no time at all. By using a premixed pack of Chocolate Buckinis, we’ve done the hard work for you! Just add Coconut Paste and Cacao Butter and let set in the fridge! These are the perfect healthy treat alternative for school lunches and birthday parties.
Store these in the fridge or in the freezer if the weather is really warm so they don't melt by morning tea time!
This is one my favourite things to have for breakfast and if I'm telling the truth, I sometimes have this as a cheeky afternoon snack too. Cacao takes centre place, offering you a really hearty (yet healthy) chocolatey punch. The sweet acidity of the Goji berries helps bind the whole dish together and as a massive fan of shredded coconut, for me this really couldn't be a better way to start the day.
Sometimes when I have a little extra time and I’m feeling a little fancy I like to create a double layer smoothie to put an even bigger smile on my face!
Tahini is my latest obsession and is turning up in almost every meal I’m eating and now it’s made its way to my breakfasts. Packed with healthy fats, protein and even spinach this chocolate tahini smoothie is a healthy breakfast indulgence you definitely won’t regret!
A fun take on the classic Easter egg, these 2-tone eggs are so creamy and smooth! The tahini gives a rich full-bodied flavour and compliments the chocolate so well. They are fairly rich so you won’t have to eat too many before you are satisfied. A smart way to snack and a winner for children and adults alike.
This is not your typical granola. There are no oats, puffed rice or dried fruit. There is chocolate however, and we’re always excited to start the day with a healthy chocolatey fix! This gluten free mix is a perfect on-the-run breakfast or sprinkle over your favourite dessert or smoothie bowl.
Hot Cross Scones are the best of both worlds; hot cross buns and scones. There’s nothing like waking up to home baked goods on Easter morning (or any morning in fact!).
This is the first gluten free scone recipe I’ve developed and to my luck I’ve had some success! They are so yummy, filled with lots of goodies including cranberries, spices and our Mandarin & Gubinge chocolate. Top with coconut yoghurt or Blueberry Chia Jam - the perfect comfort food coupled with a cup of tea.
If your child is a fussy eater and getting them to eat their greens is an issue, please don’t feel that you’re alone! Most parents have to navigate this over and over again with different tactics and strategies until their little one develops a palette for green veggies.
One tactic is asking your child to think of their favourite monster or green character and rename this smoothie with that name, if you’re lucky they may give this a go! If that doesn’t work you could add a tablespoon or two of cacao powder and this green monster goes in disguise as a chocolatey drink. Good luck!
Traditionally a canelé is a small French pastry with a soft and tender custard center and a dark, thick caramelized crust. This is my take on this French classic. Cacao again is at the forefront of this dish but is offset nicely with the freshness of the mulberries and the spice of the ginger. I often breakout these bad boys for dinner parties, particularly as they are so quick and easy to make. Last time I made ...
The words ‘Chocolate Chip Cookies’ make me melt! I think most of us would have devoured a few in our time so I wanted to make a vegan + gluten free version of the cookies I have such fond memories of! Big chunks of the Creamy Coconut Mylk Chocolate make this cookie a heavenly experience! - Emily Williamson
This recipe is so easy, and is especially fun to make with kids. These are delicious raw, too, but if you want some crunch, cook them as described below. Also feel free to tweak them by adding goji berries or even chilli (as I’ve been known to do!). - Lola Berry
The frozen banana stand on the TV show ’Arrested Development’ gave me the idea to make these quick and delicious frozen desserts! The Caramel and Creamy Coconut Chocolate freezes so you hear a crunch as you bite into them & the extra toppings take these icy desserts to a whole new level! This is such a simple recipe tht kids will love to get involved with. - Emily Williamson
This is a recipe I make when I'm craving something sweet and comforting in the morning. The red quinoa has a lovely nutty flavour and textural quality while the banana naturally sweetens this breakfast bowl. This is a great way to use up any leftover quinoa you have in the fridge and the chocolatey flavours may even appeal to the kids! - Emily Williamson
I keep a large jar of this on our kitchen bench. It’s perfect to reach in for a little snack through the day, great for breakfast with almond milk and gojis sprinkled over the top or my favourite is adding it to my banana ice-cream when I’m in the mood for a creamy dessert!

Where there’s a will there’s a way (to eat chocolate for breakfast). With one lonely orange in the fruit bowl, some previously opened coconut water and a huge place in my taste bud’s heart for cacao, this creation was a delight in the making AND consumption. It’s easily ‘veganised’, refined sugar free and full of goodness. Amy Crawford - The Holistic Ingredient

I hate Valentine's Day. I never really recovered from Rachel Robinson shunning me in the playground after sending her a much dwelled-upon romantic letter when I was 10. Rachel's indifference aside, I can still find one reason to get enthusiastic about Valentine's Day - chocolate! If only I'd had tricks like that up my sleeve when I was 10, it could all have been so different...
Rich in texture, deep in flavour and full of warmly bitter chocolate, this pudding is firm and hearty yet still melts in the mouth. If you're an emotional eater then this will be right up your street. I created this recipe as a response to my own cravings for a sweet and rich pudding. It's perfect for sharing or for individual indulgence...though over-indulgence is probably closer to the mark :)
Whether you are making this recipe at home, in your cafe or at your resturant, it's fast and easy to put together. Speed and ease are not the only two things on this dessert's side though -it's also super sexy!
