No-Bake Matcha Tahini Energy Bites

Sometimes we all need a bit of extra energy. Especially when it comes in the form of a sweet and nutty ball with matcha and dates. These bites literally melt in your mouth! And I absolutely adore the soft texture of the dates with a bit of crunch from the almonds and chia seeds.

I call this the easiest and healthiest dessert, snack, whatever, invented! (My dad called them donkey shit but whatever, it’s the taste that counts, right?) It only takes 5 minutes to blend all 5 ingredients in a food processor before popping them in the fridge for a few hours. I may or may not have also licked the pot sparkling clean while waiting for the bites to firm up.

Healthy Chocolate Fudge

A rich piece of chocolate for dessert. Sounds good, right? Well what if it was healthy for you? I think that’s even better.

Coconut oil is one of the must-have ingredients in my pantry because I use this healthy oil to substitute for butter and vegetable oil in my baking experiments. There are many reasons why it is considered healthy (I found my info here):

It’s a saturated fat, which is a good kind of fat
Decreases appetite for unhealthy food, such as sugar
Helps kill bacterias
Speeds up your metabolism
Fatty acids in coconut oil can turn into Ketones, which can reduce chances of seizures

And mixed with cacao and honey? An unbeatable healthy chocolate dessert. Of course, eating too much of anything is not good for you so don’t eat the entire batch (although I am very tempted to)!

Lemon Blueberry Chia Seed Pudding

Bright flavours, bright colours, and a bright change to any breakfast, who wouldn’t want it? The blueberry and the tangy lemon taste really explodes in your mouth. So delicious. I’m not even kidding.

Although school is ending in just more than a month (which I’m very excited for!), I need to stay focused to keep my grade up and prepare for final exams. And this chia seed pudding, with lemon juice and blueberries, sure helps me wake up in the morning!

Chocolate Sesame Pudding

This wasn’t what I originally had planned to make, but I’m so glad I did! In the week, I was thinking about making matcha and sesame mousse, then I realized I didn’t have matcha powder, so I decided to make a simple sesame mousse. Then, of course, I couldn’t find any good recipe to guide me, because it was all chocolate mousse this and chocolate mousse that.

Since the yummy pictures were practically screaming at me to make chocolate mousse, I gave in and made my Creamy Avocado Mousse: Chocolate Version. I changed the recipe slightly (no bananas or grapes) and divided it into 4 cups, but it only filled it about halfway up! Yeah, I didn’t realize that my recipe made only 2 servings. I didn’t want it to be a boring dessert and use another avocado (gotta save that for my breakfast smoothies!), so I decided to make another layer on top of my chocolate mousse, but this time chocolate and sesame together!
I was kind of scared since I like to look at a recipe and then make my changes, but I had no recipe!

My Favorite Overnight Oats

If you’ve been reading this blog, you might have read somewhere in my previous posts that I really don’t like oatmeal. This statement still holds true. But overnight oats, on the other hand, as I have discovered the greatness of them two days ago, is so good! And due to me saying that I do not like oatmeal, I have decided that overnight oats shall not be classified as oatmeal.

I love making these and testing new flavors, like bananas and toasted almonds. And they’re really convenient because in the morning you just have to take it out of the refrigerator and add some toppings!

The picture above is strawberries, blueberries and grapes overnight oats.

Authentic Italian Tiramisu

Okay, this recipe is not that healthy, but I wanted to share an authentic lick-smacking tiramisu. This recipe actually came from my dad’s Italian friend’s mom. Since then, we have made it numerous times and every time we bring this to a party, everyone always asks for seconds! My brother usually makes this tiramisu, and I’m just the one who takes pictures and eats 🙂 .

No Bake Lemon Cheesecake

To tell you the truth, the reason I made this was because of my brother. Since it had been his birthday, a few months back, I gave him a coupon booklet of food. He decided to save them up (I thought he forgot about them ) and yesterday he surprised me by handing me a coupon which was for No-Bake Lemon Cheesecake.
