Petra's Rolling Pin

The cashew cheese and strawberry tartlets on Kara's second anniversary with us

On Ciuchi’s second anniversary in our home, we disregarded the part of the detox connected to all types of nuts (yes, the detox was difficult!) and baked her a fine dessert (there were still strawberries available; we had strawberries until December anyway!). She runs the entire house, so she deserves everything! ♥

 

Use and shape as follows—

🥄 The shells

1 & ½ tbsp of psyllium seeds -> 5’ in 2 tbsp of hot water

60g gluten-free oatmeal

30g tapioca flour

a pinch of sea salt

30g Cajoont

1 tbsp of apple vinegar

Knead • Divide into 6 tartlet moulds • Cover with baking parchment • Place baking beads above • Bake for 25’ at 170°C

The cashew cheese tartlet shells ready for baking

🥄 The filling

1 x Caju Fresh from NoMoMoo (the star ingredient)

4 tbsp of maple syrup

an organic lemon’s zest

The cashew cheese filling for the tartlets

🍓 Decorate with strawberry slices

 

May you live long, Ciuchi! ♥

P.S.

You can fill the above tartlets with chocolate and decorate them with raspberries; they are delicious!

So, here are only the amounts and the method for the filling—

🥄 Filling 2

140g vegan chocolate

50g Cajoont

10g Svmântână

100g raspberries

15g almond flakes

 

It is easy: melt the chocolate (bain-marie); then, mix in the cashew butter and sour cream from NoMoMoo. Fill the tartlet shells. Decorate with raspberries; the almond flakes are such a nice addition.

Gluten-free upside-down cherry tomato tart

If there’s a dish I baked most last summer (even at the beginning of fall), this was it! It was even appropriate during our detox (or I made it so)! The cherry tomatoes you're using must be delicious!

The ingredients needed for a round baking pan of Φ 22 cm are:

 

(for the) FILLING

350g cherry tomatoes

1 teaspoon of dried thyme

1 & ½ tbsp of maple syrup

15g butter

+ 1 medium onion

+ 1 tbsp of butter

 

(for the) CRUST

1 tbsp of psyllium seeds

2 tbsp of (hot) water

125g gluten-free oatmeal

25g tapioca flour

60g (melted and cooled) butter

1 tbsp of apple vinegar

a pinch of sea salt

 

Wash the cherry tomatoes and place them in the baking pan. Sprinkle the thyme. Pour over the maple syrup. Cut out small pieces of butter and sprinkle them all over the cherry tomatoes.

Place the baking pan in the preheated oven for 14 minutes at 190°C.

Then, let it cool.

Meanwhile, clean the onion, chop it, and fry it in butter. Then, add it over the cherry tomatoes.

Make the crust using the recipe here.

Roll out the crust and cover the cherry tomatoes, ensuring you tuck the dough under the tomatoes.

Roll out the crust of the cherry tomato tart; tuck the dough under the tomatoes

Bake it in the preheated oven for 20 minutes at 170°C.

 

Carefully cut it out. Flip the tart over by using a flat plate. Serve it warm. It’s enough for 2 people. Be careful, though. It causes addiction. I’m craving it as I write!

Pear, tamarind, strawberry, and condensed milk tart

It was, in fact, my birthday cake. I hope you like it! (I tried it in summer when the tiny Cancerians turned 1 – and I used berries to decorate it.)

The ingredients you’ll need are:

 

(for the) CRUST

1 tbsp of psyllium seeds

2 tbsp of (hot) water

125g gluten-free oatmeal

25g tapioca flour

60g (melted and cooled) butter

1 tbsp of apple vinegar

a pinch of sea salt

 

(for the) FILLING

140g condensed milk

70g whipping cream

210ml milk

2 tbsp of tapioca flour

 

+1 large pear

3-4 strawberries

2-3 tamarind pods

 

Make the crust using the recipe here.

Let the crust cool.

Meanwhile, make the filling. Add all the ingredients to the pan and let the mixture boil.

Pour the filling into the crust; decorate with pear and strawberry slices and tamarind paste.

Pour the filling into the crust

 Let it sit in the fridge for at least 2-3 hours. Then, savour it! ♥

A slice of my vegan peach galette!

One year and a half ago, I tried NoMoMoo's products for the first time. I got drawn to them before tasting them (I then understood why)! It was love at first bite! They are not only exquisitely made but also the most delicious vegan cheeses (and more!) I’ve tasted! They're made with soul and you can feel it!

So here I am, wholeheartedly trying to include them in a good-looking dessert.

It is still their season, so I chose peaches! Here’s what I got! [As I baked without lactose and eggs, I also wanted a gluten-free dessert.] Its star is NoMoMoo’s Cajoont Clasic; you’ll need one.

 

What to use?

FOR THE DOUGH

125g gluten-free oatmeal

35g tapioca flour

2 tbsp of brown sugar

a pinch of sea salt

115g Cajoont Clasic from the fridge

1 ice cube

2 tbsp of icy water


FOR THE FILLING

4-5 medium peaches

1 tbsp of brown sugar

1 tbsp of tapioca flour

10g Cajoont Clasic

 

+15g Cajoont Clasic to sprinkle over the galette

 

How to bake it?

Use a blender to mix all the ingredients for the dough in the specified order; you can knead them into a dough, too.

Mix all the galette ingredients in a blender

Spread the dough over a ceramic tart mould (use water and tapioca flour to help you do this); leave elongated pieces of dough on purpose.

A little elf helped me clean and cut the peaches into slices. Mix them in a bowl with the brown sugar, the tapioca flour, and 10g of Cajoont Clasic.

The dough in the tart mould and the peaches

Then, place the peach slices next to one another on the dough; fold the elongated pieces of dough over the fruit slices.

In the end, sprinkle the remaining bits of Cajoont over the galette.

Sprinkle cashew butter over the peach slices

Bake it for 15 minutes in the preheated oven at 220°C.

 

How do I know if I like a dessert? When I crave another slice immediately after the first one!

The vegan peach galette I got!

I hope you’ll try it and agree. And that you’ll also go crazy for NoMoMoo’s Cajoont! 

 

P.S. To make it easier to bake this lovely galette, add one teaspoon of psyllium seeds to two tablespoons of spring water. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then add it to the other dough ingredients.

Gluten-free apple pie with sour cherry sorbetto

It was by far our favourite dessert during our end-of-spring detox.

 

What do you need for the ...?

 

DOUGH

3 tbsp of water

1 tbsp of flax seeds

125g gluten-free oatmeal

25g tapioca flour

60g (melted and cooled) butter

a dash of vanilla bean

1 tbsp of apple vinegar

a pinch of salt

 

FILLING

3 big apples (chopped or grated)

some nutmeg

some (grounded) cinnamon

4 teaspoons of date sugar

15g butter

 

How to bake it?

 

First, let the flax seeds sit in water for 10-15 minutes.

Meanwhile, clean the apples, cut them, and chop them in a blender or grate them.

Add the apples to a pan and let them simmer with the nutmeg, cinnamon, date sugar, and butter. Mix when the butter melts and remove from heat. You’ll know when they’re ready because they’ll smell divinely.

In a medium bowl, mix the gluten-free oatmeal, the tapioca flour, the melted and cooled butter, the dash of vanilla bean, the apple vinegar, and the salt. Mix in the flax seeds and the water, too. Knead until the dough is no longer sticky.

The gluten-free apple pie crust

Shape the crust in a buttered and floured tart mould. Add the filling.

Bake for 25 minutes at 160°C in the preheated oven.

 

I served it alongside a cooling sour cherry sorbetto made by Marcel on a torrid day.

Feisty and the vegan raspberry brownie

In May-June, we went through a rigorous detox. It is hard to cook when you are not even allowed – on top of lactose-, sugar-, egg-, and gluten-free ingredients – nuts, very sweet fruits, beans, peas, chickpeas, or cornmeal.

 

This is one of the desserts put together back then using

100g flaxseed flour

30g tapioca powder

3g baking powder

350ml water

3 tbsp flaxseeds

20ml flaxseed oil

50g date syrup

35g cocoa powder

20 raspberries

 

Mix all the ingredients in the order mentioned above.

Make the vegan raspberry brownie batter

Pour the batter into a 20x20 cm baking pan.

Place the raspberries on top.

Bake at 160°C for 30 minutes.

 

Enjoy!

Banana, chocolate, and almond flour cake

I have this recipe from my dear friend Paula. Thanks to her, I discovered hungryhappens.net; we tried several recipes from the blog, even together! ♥

I adapted the recipe. I baked it on our anniversary; Marcel loved it (when he immediately asks for a second slice, he likes a dessert a lot). J

 

Use

a large ripe banana

30ml flaxseed oil

a medium egg

85ml agave syrup

vanilla extract

a teaspoon of ground coffee

2g baking powder

90g almond flour

90g tapioca powder

salt

30g dark chocolate

 

How to bake it?

Mash the banana, add the flaxseed oil, the egg, the agave syrup, the vanilla extract, the ground coffee, the almond flour, the tapioca powder, the salt, and 15g of dark chocolate chips.

Pour the batter into a round silicone baking pan, using the remaining 15g to decorate the cake.

Then, bake the cake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven at 180⁰C.

 

You’re going to enjoy this cake a lot!

Almond flour pancakes

I had some almond flour left (bought for this cake). I had forgotten how sticky the almond flour batter is!

 

The ingredients?

2 eggs

65g almond flour

30g tapioca powder

3g baking powder

salt

a banana

 

+1 teaspoon of coconut oil

+some honey, some ground walnuts

 

for 4 pancakes (Φ 14 cm)

 

Mix the eggs, the almond flour, the tapioca powder, the baking powder, and the salt. Add the banana that you mashed.

Kara smelling the almond flour pancake batter

Fry them in a teaspoon of coconut oil. They are ready when you see bubbles form in the batter.

To end in glory, serve them with honey and ground walnuts.

 

Honestly, they were even tastier than I expected them to be! That’s why they’re on this blog! J

Molehill cake

Homebaked. A different thing. J 


Here are the ingredients that you need—

 

500ml whipping cream

50g sugar

25g tapioca flour

vanilla extract

50g dark chocolate

for the filling

 

3 eggs

150g sugar

10g vanilla sugar

230g flour

4g baking powder

20g cocoa

120ml milk

70g butter

for the batter

 

+2 bananas

+butter and flour -> baking pan

 

First, make the filling.

Place the whipping cream, sugar, and tapioca flour (you can replace it with starch), mixed beforehand in a pan, on low heat. Stir from time to time, removing the pan from the heat after the cream has boiled. Then add the vanilla extract, then the chocolate pieces. Place the pan immediately in the fridge. This way, the chocolate will melt, but not completely, keeping its crunchiness.

Mix the eggs with the sugar well. Continue to incorporate, with the help of a wooden spoon, the vanilla sugar, flour, baking powder, cocoa, milk, and then the melted and cooled butter.

Pour the batter into a round mould that has been previously buttered and floured. Bake in the preheated oven at 180⁰C for 30 minutes.

The batter of the molehill cake

Let the cake cool. Then, cut out a piece of the cake (leave approximately 2 cm from the edge). Scoop out pieces from the cut-out cake, crumble them and place them into a bowl.

The making of the molehill cake


Place the bananas cut into half on the bottom of the scooped-out cake.

Mix the cream and pour it on top of the bananas. Then, start making the molehill cake from the pieces scooped out from the cake. Let the cake sit in the fridge for at least one hour before cutting it and serving it.

Pour the cream over the bananas

What to do if you end up with leftover bananas, filling, and cake pieces? Create a mug dessert and savour it!
