Healthy eating and - living is really important for our overall
happiness in life. But this does not mean we will have to do
without the joys of wonderful desserts. I admit, I would not
want to live without yummy desserts... but then again, I do think about
what is in my dessert - is it good for me or not.
I would like to share with You a few Guilt-Free Dessert Recipes that
taste absolutely wonderful... so, You can enjoy all the pleasures of a
yummy dessert and feel good and healthy afterwards!
All I prepare is really, really simple, so, if I can do it, You can
too.
Guilt-Free Cake
You will need:
6 Free-range or Omega-3 eggs
6 Tablespoonfuls of finely ground unrefined, wholemeal flour
8 Tablespoonfuls of unrefined organic sugar (unrefined sugar has no
crystals, it is smooth and lovely). If You are going to use ordinary
sugar or partly refined sugar, use 6 tablespoonfuls
600 g of dried apricots
Green tea
Brew a cup of strong green tea. Cut the apricots into small pieces and
let them sit in the green tea for about an hour. Preheat the oven to
180 degrees of Celsius or 356 degrees of Fahrenheit. Whip the egg
whites. Whip the egg yolks and the sugar. Gradually add the flour to
the egg yolks and sugar. Finally mix all the ingredients together, but
do not whip. Stir gently with a wooden spoon. Pour the mixture into a
cake pan and put into the oven. Bake the cake for about 35 minutes. Do
check whether it is completely ready before removing from the oven.
This cake is wonderful when served hot. You can serve it with whipped
cream... like my mom likes it. She sure adds more sweet stuff whenever
she can.
Sweet Snowball Soup
I prepare the Snowball Soup for my dad every single Father's Day for it
is his absolute favorite dessert. My grandmother used to make it for my
dad when he was just a little boy and he has continued to enjoy this
sweet soup as his favorite dessert all those years. It really looks
like a snowball soup... and it tastes absolutely wonderful... and it
does not have loads of calories. It is also very simple to
prepare.
You will need:
1 Liter of milk (organic if possible)
4 omega-3 eggs
1/2 cup of organic sugar... if it is completely unrefined, You will
need 1 cup of sugar
1 teaspoonful of potato flour (potato starch)
vanilla
Whip the 4 egg whites, adding 2 tablespoonfuls of organic sugar. Whip
until hard. Whip separately the egg yolks, the rest of the sugar and
potato flour. Warm (to almost boil) the milk in a large pot. Start
taking with a tablespoon from the whipped egg whites "snowballs" and
putting them into the hot milk. Let them warm in the milk for about
5-10 seconds on both sides, then lift them with a skimmer on a tray.
Continue until all the "snowballs" have been heated in the hot milk.
Then add the egg yolks into the milk and heat. Stir continuously until
the milk and eggs have thickened. Do not boil. Remove the pot from the
stove and let it all cool down. Serve the sweet dish in a large bowl,
letting the snowballs float on the top. It is an especially lovely
dessert during a hot day.
