oksana — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 07:54:53 +0000

The most enjoyable part of any dinner for both kids and adults is dessert. This recipe contains a little of wine, so, be carefull when giving it to children. If you don’t like strawberries pr just want to make your dessert more original you can use any other berries or a combination of them.

Ingredients:

¼ lb caster sugar
¼ lb strawberries – hulled and halved
2 tbsp white wine
2 tbsp lemon juice
5 fluid oz water

Take a pan, put the water in it, and make the sugar dissolve. Bring this sweet water to a boil, and make it simmer for one minute. Take off the heat and allow to cool to room temperature. When it’s cold combine it with the rest of ingredient, and use a food processor to blend until fairly smooth. Oh, yeah, leave some berries for the garnish. All this should stay in freezer for over night. Before serving blend it again for only several seconds to make it more ‘fluffy’, and garnish with strawberries (or any other berries).

Coconut – Nut – Date Rolls

oksana — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 20:46:25 +0000

Date rolls could be a very good dessert for your party or just casual family dinner. The process of making them is extremely simple, and it doesn’t require numerous ingredients. Actually they are all listed in the topic:

pitted fresh dates
roasted/non-salted mixed soft nuts
vegan shredded coconut

The more date rolls you want to make the bigger amount of these ingredients you need to take.

Use a potato masher to mash the dates in a large bowl. In advance please make sure that dates are really pitted. It’s important. To very dry dates you can add some hot water – just enough to moisten them.

Then you need to get a good mix of dates and nuts in order to make small balls out of it (or you can make them any other form you like). Spread out shredded coconut on table and roll the date/nut balls around until sufficiently covered with coconut. That’s all!

Muffin is a type of dessert that is mostly served hot for breakfast. But it doesn’t mean that you can’t have a couple of them for lunch. To make 20 muffins you will need:

250 g butter
220 g caster sugar
4 eggs
750 g self raising flour
375 ml soured cream
500 ml cooked carrot puree
60 g chopped nuts (if desired)

You will also need orange rind and vanilla. These two ingredients will give your muffins incredible and at the same time gentle smell. Mix them with butter and sugar to get a fluffy mass. Continue mixing and simultaneously add the eggs, the flour, soured cream, and carrot puree. Spoon the mixture into greased muffin tins, and sprinkle with nuts. Bake them at 350F for about 25 minutes. When they are ready they turn a golden color.

This simple, but tasty chocolate sauce can stand you a good stead when you want to surprise your guests and make the taste of cake, coffee, fruit, or nondairy ice-cream a bit more ‘elegant’.
To make this sauce it’ll take you a little time and several ingredients:

1/2 cup Dutch cocoa powder
1/2 cup maple syrup (light or dark)
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
3 Tbsp. soy milk

Mix together the first three ingredients. Make sure you get indiscrete mass as a result. Then put it all in a small saucepan, and watch it simmer for about 2 minutes. Don’t forget to stir the mass in order not to burn the chocolate. In 2 minutes put the saucepan aside, and stir in the soy milk. When it’s done pour the chocolate into squeeze bottles for later use.

‘Cheese’ Vegetarian Desserts: Cherry Cake

ann — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 21:34:15 +0000

It doesn’t require a lot of efforts to make a tasty cherry ‘cheese’ cake. Of course when we say ‘cheese’ we mean nondairy cream cheese. Ingredients are the following:

2 8-oz. containers Tofutti plain nondairy cream cheese
1 cup sugar
Juice of 1 lemon
Dash vanilla
Graham cracker crust
1 can cherry pie filling

The oven has to be preheated to 350°F. Then we take the nondairy cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla and pour into the graham cracker crust and blend it all together. After you get a paste put on a pan and bake for about 60 minutes until the top is golden brown. Take it out and wait till it gets cold.

Then put it into refrigerator for at least 8 hours. You can say: ‘Hey, you forgot about cherries!’ Don’t worry, it’s not time for them yet. After 8 or more hours in a fridge cover top of the “cheese” cake with the cherry pie filling and allow it to chill for at least one hour more. By the way, you can use fresh pitted sweet cherries.
