Tiramisu

I first encountered this tasty and easy recipe when a friend brought it as a dessert dip to a dip party. I recently tried it out myself and was delighted how quick it is, just a couple of minutes and you have a wonderful dessert!

Tiramisu:
1-2 egg yolks per person, I use fresh organic eggs
1 tbsp coconut sugar per person
1/2 tub of Mascarpone
rum
cocoa powder for decoration
Beat the egg yolks for at least 1 minute, until they form a light and fluffy cream. Add the sugar and continue whisking. Add Mascarpone, try the mix and add more if needed, but you don't want it to be too cheesy. Add as much rum as you like (for 6 egg yolks I used 1/4 cup of spiced rum). Use a sift to decorate the Tiramisu with cocoa powder.
Very tasty with strawberries!

Peanut Butter, Banana, Cholate Smoothie

I like Reese's and was delighted to find recipes with the same idea (peanut butter and chocolate) for smoothies.

This one also calls for flax seed and Greek yogurt (which I substituted with a tablespoon of sour cream and nuts ;) ! mmh!) and gets my full recommendation!

Banana Chocolate Smoothie

I tried something new with the Banana Chocolate Smoothies and I really like the result: I added nuts, maple syrup and a few pieces from a chocolate bar (70%). I've also been adding almond coconut milk to those smoothies and it tastes fantastic!

Banana Chocolate Smoothie:
2 bananas
1/3 - 1/5 cup of nuts (e.g. cashews, pecans)
1tbsp cocoa powder
1tbsp maple syrup
1tsp vanilla extract
4 pieces from a 70% chocolate bar
1/2 cup of almond coconut milk (or just almond milk, or rice milk)
Blend well. Add more almond coconut milk to get the desired consistency.
