Dessert

Holiday Ricotta Cookies

Small modifications can completely change the health profile of food. In this recipe, we swap coconut oil for butter and maple syrup for white sugar. Coconut oil has antimicrobial properties and aids in digestion, and maple syrup breaks down slower than regular sugar. Enjoy!

Bloomin’ Cinnamon Apples

An apple a day keeps the doctor away! This healthy treat provides plenty of B vitamins, vitamin C, calcium, potassium, and fiber. One apple also has a day's worth of manganese, which is an essential trace mineral involved in blood sugar regulation and bone formation—and it's a powerful anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant!

Chocolate Truffle Torte

Make sure you get a high-quality chocolate you love for this decadent dessert. The other ingredients here are neutrally flavored, meaning that your finished torte will essentially taste like the chocolate itself, glorified.

Broiled Pineapple Fool

If it’s grilling season, you can also grill the pineapple instead of broiling it. The aim is to lightly caramelize the pineapple’s sugars and eliminate some of its excess moisture.

Baked Stuffed Apples

These simple baked apples are delicious as is. Is serving them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream gilding the lily? You decide.
