3 ingredients homemade bounty bars

I love myself some chocolate from time to time, even now, when I can barely tolerate commercially sweet things... But sometimes (or a lot of times, to be honest) the commercial chocolates are not vegan friendly in addition to being full of sugar... So I decided to recreate some of my favorite sweets, but made a bit healthier and a lot simpler!
I started with these 3 ingredients homemade bounty bars that are not only vegan, but oil free, easy to make and quite a bit healthier than the commercial version. And they still have a fluffy coconut middle, yummy chocolate coating, they're rich and perfect for a treat when you want one... The danger with them? You're gonna want to eat them all in one sitting. Don't say that I didn't warn you...
Granted, because I used date paste the coconut filing is not very white and sparkly as the commercial ones are, but you can use a lighter colored sweetener if you want that white. I love my bars a bit dark because they are unique and different too, so I don't feel the need to change this:)
It's nice to know that you can make stuff like this with just a few ingredients at home. And they are very sweet for my taste right now, which means that they should be perfectly sweet for the rest of the normal people :))
Let's see the recipe now, I've rambled enough...

Chocolate coconut cheesecake

One afternoon I wanted something sweet and creamy yet healthy and easy to make. And I didn't want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen to make it.
So I started to look in the cupboards and I found a lot of good stuff. And I already had a cup of cashews in the fridge to soak so... "Cheesecake" it is! 
I just started to think of combinations, and I decided that a chocolate "cheesecake" sounds really good and decadent enough to curb my sweet tooth. 
I forgot to take into account the fact that I wanted to film the entire process, take pictures of the cheesecake and film a first taste test. So I got to eat it only the next day, after my husband tried it because at night the light is horrible and I couldn't film the taste test, but it was still amazing!
Ok, enough blabbing, let's go to the recipe now!

Coconut crust apple tarte tatin

(With video too 💕😊)

For me apples and apple desserts, alongside pumpkin foods, mean fall and winter holidays. And what can be better than something sweet, fast and tasty for your holiday table?
It's not the healthiest dessert in the world, but it's a lot healthier than other desserts (or even other apple tarts), it's quick, tasty and really fragrant!
Also, it's oil free and gluten free if you don't eat oil or gluten.
The crust has a slight peanuty taste that goes really well with the spices and the filing.

Coconut pudding cups

Halloween is fast approaching and this is one of my favorite holidays!
I tried to make something special for this day, but my skills with a pastry bag are limited for now :)) I promise to practice more for the future projects!
Anyway, this is my favorite pudding recipe and it goes really well just by it's own, or in a pastry shell. And if you are skilled with a pastry bag, you can make something really festive with some food coloring and this pudding.
But keep in mind that this is a dessert, and it's to be indulged in moderation :)
Ok, enough for now. Let's go to the recipe!
