𝘽𝙀𝙎𝙏 𝗩𝗘𝗚𝗔𝗡 𝗡𝗨𝗚

𝘽𝙀𝙎𝙏 𝗩𝗘𝗚𝗔𝗡 𝗡𝗨𝗚𝗚𝗘𝗧𝗦 𝙀-𝙑-𝙀-𝙍!! & so easy! Baked or fried, make using gluten free or traditional flours, your choice. I baked these for an oil-free version. ⁣
⁣
The OG author of this recipe and technique to getting the texture just right is @marystestkitchen
⁣
The secret is using medium firm tofu and freezing it twice - freeze and thaw, freeze and thaw. This creates pockets in the tofu, gives you the ability to squeeze out lots more liquid from the tofu which makes it possible for the tofu to soak up more flavor, and transforms the tofu into a meaty nugget-like texture. If you’re someone who doesn’t like tofu, you must try this method. It’s a game changer!!⁣
⁣
If you are looking to WOW your not yet vegan friends and family, make this for them! ⁣
⁣
>> Recipe from Mary’s Test Kitchen can be found on her blog here http://www.marystestkitchen.com/best-vegan-fried-chicken-gluten-free/ or you can just google Mary’s vegan nuggets and should come right up. Mary, we are forever grateful!!⁣

When your answer is Cookies, what's your question?

When your answer is Cookies, what's your question? ⁣
⁣
For example: ⁣
🍪 Why did you have dessert? Because there were cookies! ⁣
🍪 What time is it? Cookie time! ⁣
🍪 Where should we meet? At that shop on the corner of blah blah and blah blah where they sell the best chocolate chip cookies!⁣
🍪What do you do when you want something sweet? Bake cookies! ⁣
⁣
These chocolate chip cookies are so good. Recipe coming soon to an Insta Reel near you! 😀

Tis the season for hot cocoa. It’s one of the easiest treats to make - so cozy and delicious!!⁣
⁣
Here’s the basic recipe. Of course, you can adjust the amounts of sugar and cocoa to your taste. ⁣
* 2 Tablespoons cocoa⁣
* 1 Tablespoon sugar ⁣
* 1 cup plant-based milk⁣
* pinch of salt, optional⁣
⁣
You can use any kind of sweetener you like. I’m a fan of coconut sugar or maple syrup. If using a liquid sweetener, reduce the milk by the amount used. ⁣
⁣
Ideas for Toppings: ⁣
Marshmallows 🧡 @mydandies⁣
Vegan whipped cream⁣
Shaved chocolate⁣
⁣
Heating up on the stove is my favorite way to prepare it. I whisk the ingredients until fully combined (no cocoa clumps) and then take it to a rolling boil for a few minutes - watching and stirring every few seconds to make sure nothing sticks to the bottom of the pan. The boiling helps it thicken a little for a richer consistency. Be sure to let it cool down a bit before drinking. ⁣
⁣
Are you a chocolate fan? 🧡 🍫 ⁣
Are you indulging in hot cocoa on the regular too?

These Lace Tuile Cookies are quite delightful! ⁣

These Lace Tuile Cookies are quite delightful! ⁣
⁣
Are you a lace cookie fan? I love how they look so fancy yet are easy to make. They cook up in no time so you can have dessert ready when the craving hits. ⁣
⁣
🍰 Baking is so much fun and not just the eating part. It’s so cool how the cookies spread out so much and become delicate, super thin and crispy. The caramelly, nutty deliciousness hits all the right notes! For a contrasting texture, I filled them with a smooth and rich chocolate ganache. ⁣
⁣
➡️ Swipe to see the process and other shapes (which is your fave?), and then there’s me with @quincypupnyc after making all these cookies!⁣

💗 I love sharing treats with my friends and family. These were a big hit! ⁣

Ok, so I am a bit obsessed with making aquafaba meringue! This Baked Alaska turned out so good! Definitely has that WOW factor. Everyone loved it. ⁣
⁣
𝗦𝘄𝗶𝗽𝗲 ➡️ for the components coming together and go all the way to the last photo to see the cutie @quincypupnyc 🐾 peeking into the kitchen to see what’s up. ⁣
⁣
𝗕𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗔𝗹𝗮𝘀𝗸𝗮 is layers of cake, ice cream, topped with meringue. One of the great things about vegan meringue is you can eat it straight up, caramelize it with a kitchen torch - no baking necessary like with meringues made from egg whites. ⁣
⁣
-> The cake recipe is @goodcakesfran Chocolate Cake to Live For⁣
⁣
-> The ice cream is @so_delicious Salted Caramel Cluster (cashew milk based)⁣
⁣
What do you think? Pretty magical what that liquid from a can of chickpeas can do.

These muffins turned out 𝘚𝘖 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥!! Recipe is from @zsus_vegan_pantry 🍋 One of the ingredients is aqua faba aka bean juice. 🍋 Sounds crazy, but aqua faba has none of the bean taste and all the egg white whipping possibilities!! ⁣
⁣
I’m so psyched to work with aqua faba to create 𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘶𝘦𝘴 and 𝘉𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘥 𝘈𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘬𝘢. I’m taking @goodcakesfran ‘s online 𝘌𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘝𝘦𝘨𝘢𝘯 𝘋𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦 at @rouxbe and these are just a handful of our homework assignments. #𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙝𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠 is part of the cirriculum.
