Pineapple Raspberry Sorbet

Pineapple Raspberry Sorbet

 

Summertime and the livings easy! And isn’t that what we all love so much about summer? Last summer we went to Maui for a family vacation. It was like pineapple central. I have never had so many pineapple treats in one whole week! From pineapple’s all over my acai bowls, pineapple whip, pina colada’s, pineapple ice cream, to even drinking fresh pineapple juice out of an actual pineapple. I mean it’s pretty safe to say I was in pineapple heaven, and this girl has no complaints!

 

 

As I was reminiscing this week about our trip last July,  I started to get some serious major pineapple cravings. It’s been warming up here in North Idaho so I thought a pineapple sorbet sounded pretty darn amazing. This tropical frozen treat has a fun little twist… raspberries. That was non negotiable because pineapple and raspberries are my two most favorite fruits. It would be a sin if I left them out.

 

My Pineapple Raspberry Sorbet recipe can be made in a jiff, and it only requires 4 ingredients! Yes four ingredients. I knew that would make you smile 🙂 This delicious light summer treat is paleo, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, and has no refined sugars. How can it get any better than that? All you need is a food processor, frozen pineapple, frozen raspberries, better than half, and honey ( I like to buy local honey, it helps to combat allergies ). I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do, and if your looking for some more pineapple inspiration check out this delicious Pineapple Candied Yams recipe. This is a great recipe to keep in mind with the holidays right around the corner.

Grain Free Peanut Butter Cheesecake Bites with Cashew Crust

Grain Free Peanut Butter Cheesecake Bites with Cashew Crust

I’m always in the kitchen baking, I mean I literally feel like I live in there. I usually bake with gluten free flours, but from time to time I like to mix it up and bake grain free. When I do its very important to me that I don’t sacrifice on flavor and texture. Grain Free can be a little more tricky to work with. I especially loved this Grain Free Peanut Butter Cheesecake Bites with Cashew Crust recipe, it was almost too easy to work with. I felt like a cheater haha! If you tend to lean more on the grain free side of the world then you definitely need to check out these Maple Cinnamon Almond Butter Cookies . These delicious bites are flourless, giving them an extra added bonus… Woohoo!

Cheesecake is one of my husbands favorite desserts! Anytime I say the word ” cheesecake  ” he will bend over backwards for me just to get me to make it for him! Needless to say he was drooling at the mouth over these delicious cheesecake bites. The cashew crust gives it this really nice creamy – buttery flavor. I love using cashews when I bake, they are lower in fat compared to other nuts and are rich in protein and magnesium. Another delicious recipe to try with cashews are these Dark Chocolate Dipped Cashew Cookies. 

 

Here are a few thoughts and tips :

  • Make sure when you cream your wet ingredients you stay PATIENT. It takes a few minutes for the ingredients to combine and smooth out.
  • Keep an eye on your cheesecake bites , oven temperatures vary.
  • If you go with the dairy free option, keep in mind the taste and texture are NOT real cream cheese so it may slightly differ… This is why I suggest Wayfare Cream Cheese , the flavor and texture is the closest I have found to real cream cheese. ( This is my personal opinion )

 

 

 

 

Thank you for trying this recipe! I hope you have a happy and blessed day. Check out all of our gluten free desserts here

This was a fun one to make!! Introducing … Gluten Free Chocolate Chunk Funfetti Blondies!! Have you ever had one of those aaaah haa moments where you are just taken back in excitement? Well lets just say that’s what happened the night before Fathers Day when I was twiddling my thumbs on what to make my husband for Fathers Day dessert. I opened up my pantry door and …BEHOLD… a box of Namaste Foods Blondie Mix was staring me down! That was the instant the light bulb went off in my head and the aaaah haa moment kicked in! I was like… Yes! Natalie…Thats it!! Chocolate Chunks and Sprinkles!! Who in their right mind doesn’t love that? Okay well there may be a few, BUT my husband does, and these were sure to make his special day even more special.

 

Can’t Get Enough

One bowl, and only six ingredients!! Yes you heard that right! These are the kind of recipes I love and want to bring to my blog more often. So convenient and fast but still just as amazing! If you are a fan of using baking mixes like me check out my Gluten Free Hi Hat S’mores Cupcakes they are super easy and fun to make.

One thing that’s really great about this Blondie recipe is that it’s perfect for so many occasions. No slaving in the kitchen just show up, be proud, and wow the crowds! The taste is like something out of a chocolate chip cookie lovers dream… sweet, chewy, rich, melt in your mouth goodness. Yeah, I’m not kidding!

Gluten Free Neapolitan Mini Bundt Cakes

Growing up I had a couple favorite ice creams. Neapolitan was on that list. These Neapolitan Mini Bundt Cakes are a blast from my past! I had so much fun developing the recipe. It took me 4 weeks, yes 4 weeks!! But, they are perfected and delicious and would make such a fun birthday treat or any occasion for that matter. Not to mention I made them with a new gluten free flour I tested out by Namaste Foods. I was so impressed with the flavor and how fine the texture is. I also love that the flour is free of the top 8 allergens. So for those of you that are really limited, I have your back 🙂 … I know your going to love it! I have given you two options for your topping, a chocolate ganache or a strawberry icing. Hey why not do both?! Sprinkle  some love on top and you will be enjoying a trip back down memory lane. If you haven’t tried my Mini Vanilla Huckleberry Bundt Cakes… CHECK…THEM…OUT they will knock your socks off! Click here to get that recipe.
