Vegan French Toast

Good Morning! A good morning is always made better with a sweet start. It is said that your daily intake of calories should be roughly evenly split between breakfast, lunch and dinner, so all the better reason to indulge and enjoy breakfast time rather than skip it! 

French Toast is a popular breakfast choice for the sweet tooth as well being easy and quick to whip up. Being vegetarian shouldn't stop you from enjoying this yummy treat either! 

Here it is, my eggless version, VEGAN FRENCH TOAST:

Ingredients for one serve: Two slices of brown bread, 1/2 cup light coconut milk, 1 tablespoon corn flour, 1/2 cup sugar syrup, maple syrup, fruits of your choice.

Make: In a plate, mix the light coconut milk with corn flour to make a smooth liquid with no lumps. In another plate make a quick sugar syrup with sugar and water with all sugar completely dissolved. Heat your frypan and spray with olive oil. Dip each slice of bread first into the sugar syrup then into the coconut milk mixture. The corn flour with the coconut milk mixture will bind similar to using egg. Place the soaked slice of bread on the pan and toast until crisp and golden brown on each side.

Top with maple syrup and your favourite fruits. Enjoy!

Valentine's Vanilla PannaCotta Shots

A perfect day to be back to my blog for the year..Happy Valentine's Day! While it's been a crazy busy start to 2019, it's also been a fun filled and memorable one. Just the way we like it!

Valentine's is always a fun day, there's so much love and colour around everywhere..so while we celebrate and cherish LOVE every single day, it's just so much fun to get into the celebrations on this day. This also means a sweet ending to the day is a must, without having to spend much time in the kitchen. I've shared this one before, but I still do get asked for the recipe of my vegetarian version of the popular PannaCotta :) 

Here it is, VALENTINE'S VANILLA PANNA COTTA SHOTS.

Ingredients (for two shotglasses): 1/2 cup full cream milk, 1.5 tablespoons caster sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla essence, 1 tablespoon cornflour, fruit of your choice of decoration.

Make: Heat milk and caster sugar with vanilla essence (do not boil). In a separate small bowl, add the cornflour with some of this hot milk and stir until smooth. Add this mixture back into the pan, stirring continuously to ensure lumps don't form. Keep stirring until the mixture starts to thicken to a custard kind of texture - it should take around 8 minutes. Remove from heat and pour into cups or moulds. Place in fridge immediately and allow to set for an hour. It is set if it is jelly like in texture. Decorate fresh fruits and enjoy!
