Poached pears with chocolate sauce
Another adaptation from Veganomicon. The original calls for black tea and orange zest. I used green tea and fresh ginger. It was a huge hit. Even though I'm a chocoholic, I actually used less chocolate than the recipe called for. And the sauce was still excellent. I felt as if I could be eating choc…
Banana-chocolate-chip muffins
I think may have found a recipe to replace my favorite non-vegan muffins. My favorite non-vegan recipe comes from Joanne Chang of Flour Bakery in Boston. These muffins are so moist, not too sweet and delightfully fluffy. I've made a vegan version of them, but I haven't perfected it yet.

Choco-guaca with cinnamon chips (chocolate guacamole)

We were decorating the Christmas tree this afternoon and thought that hot chocolate was called for. We like our hot chocolate thick and creamy, so just adding cocoa or melted vegan chocolate to non-dair…
Chocolate Guacamole (aka Vegan Chocolate Pudding)
If you're a vegan and a chocoholic, you've probably already used avocados as a base for chocolate desserts. If you're not a vegan or haven't randomly tried chocolate and avocado yet, you'll be surprised at how delightfully creamy this guacamole -- I mean, pudding -- turns out. You truly do not taste…
Chocolate mousse
After eating a couple of bites of my I'm-just-going-to-wing-it chocolate mousse last night, my 13-year old daughter, who loves chocolate mousse, declared, "This is the best mousse that has ever come out of this house." That is a huge endorsement!
I had made a batch of thick cashew cream for a corn c…
