NEW: Dirt Cups Made From Scratch! 🫣
|
Hi Reader, Writing an email subject line that starts with "dirt" feels really weird. 😅 So let me back up... are you familiar with dirt cake (aka "dirt cups" when served in individual portions)? Basically, the classic version of this dessert consists of crushed Oreo cookies (the dirt), layered with a creamy concoction of instant pudding mix, Cool Whip, powdered sugar, and cream cheese. People love it because it's: a) delicious, b) easy to make, and c) fun to decorate in all kinds of ways! Think spooky graveyard for Halloween, or a garden plot or flower bed in spring and summer. You can even replace regular Oreos with golden Oreos for a sandy beach theme. 🏖️ In other words, it's a pretty fun party dessert. Now, about my vegan and from-scratch take... Vegan Dirt CupsI knew I couldn't just crumble some cookies on top and call it a day. We're scrapping all of the store-bought stuff and making our "dirt" from a gluten-free blend of black cocoa powder, almond flour, oat flour, and a little sweetener. And then we're giving basic vegan vanilla pudding a decadent boost and layering it with the dirt for a sweet treat that tastes SO nostalgic!

Because candy. 😍 Plus, since we don't have children, there's never been much of a reason to get involved with the festivities. But this year, I decided it's ridiculous that after 7 years of blogging I didn't have a single Halloween-themed recipe! So I decided to create a few... There's these Black Cocoa...
Hi Reader, It's no secret, I have a thing for chili. 💘🙌 But not just any old vegan chili. I like it thick and seriously flavorful. I like the kind of chili that you can feel confident serving to both vegans and meat-eaters alike. The kind of chili that's so robust and satisfying, people turn to you and say, "THIS is vegan?" The kind of chili that has everyone asking for the recipe! 👍 Instant Pot Sweet Potato Chili Packed with all the good stuff! Lentils, beans, sweet potato, jalapeno, and...
