A pavlova is an airy cloud of meringue cradling fresh cream and fruit. It is named for ballerina Anna Pavlova, a childhood idol of mine, because it embodies lightness and effortlessness. This 100% vegan-friendly dessert is easy to make. We made it egg-free with the use of aquafaba – the liquid from a can of chickpeas. It is made dairy-free with the use of coconut whipped cream. You can make use of whatever fruit you have in abundance. Tart fruits…

Each serving provides the omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids (EFAs) the body needs but cannot make on its own. EDGAR CASTREJON @edgarraw is a wellness,…

Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream
November 13, 2019
Pumpkins are one of the most iconic symbols of cooler weather, and of holiday gatherings in North America.

This ice cream has all the flavour and creaminess of pumpkin pie, can be made ahead, requires no baking, and is gluten-free. Using real pumpkin and the best quality…
