VEGAN RECIPES
This is my daughter’s recipe. SHe loves to cook and she came up with this all on her own. She has also started her own blog, so here is the link if you want the recipe for the wontons. They are crispy, sweet and delicious, plus they are super easy to make.
Happy New Year! Last night I made vegan cheese fondue for dinner and vegan chocolate fondue for dessert. I haven’t had cheese fondue since becoming vegan and I really wanted it, so I gave it a try. It was delicious. The chocolate was unbelievably good and of course I ate way too much of it. It was a great way to start a new year.
1 package Daiya Cheddar Cheese (vegan)
1 Package Daiya Mozzerella (vegan)
1 cup soy milk
1 TBSp dijon mustard
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
1 bottle of beer
What ever you want to dip: raw or roasted veggies, bread, vegan sausages
Combine all the ingredients except the beer in a sauce pan over medium heat. Stir until the cheese starts melt. Slowly add in the beer a little at a time until the cheese reaches the consistency that you want for dipping. I used about 1/2 the bottle. Serve warm.
1 bag of vegan semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup soy milk
2 TBSP Earth Balance
1 tsp vanilla extract
What ever you want to dip: Strawberries, bananas, pretzels, cookies
Combine the soy milk and the butter in a sauce pan over low heat. Once the butter is melted add in the chocolate chips and the vanilla. Stir constantly until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Serve warm.
This is the perfect time of year for hot chocolate. My kids are always asking for it and I hate for them to have the stuff out of the package, so I made my own. This recipe doesn’t have that much sugar and it is super chocolatey. I found vegan marshmallows to go in and we put in peppermint sticks too. I will be making this again tomorrow when we decorate our Christmas tree.
Hot Chocolate
4 cups of non dairy milk (I used soy)
3 TBSP the unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup vegan chocolate chips (I used grain sweetened semi sweet)
1 tsp of vanilla
1/4 cup sugar or liquid sweetener
Put all of the ingredients in a medium pot and cook over medium heat. Whisk to combine the ingredients. Try to not boil it, just cook it until the chocolate is melted, the cocoa powder is well combined and it is hot. Serve with you favorite toppings like marshmallows, non dairy whipped cream or peppermint sticks.
