Desserts - Vegan and Gluten free

Image
Things to do list - Recipes I need to make My recent blog on cake has left me craving a sweet dessert.  Since It's like going on a treasure hunt trying to find a restaurant that serves both a vegan and gluten free one, I'll just have to make my own.   Vegan coconut Panna cotta  - from Green Evi's blog The photo is gorgeous, even better there are only 3 ingredients in the recipe.  Sometimes the simplest recipes are the best.  She's served it with fresh fruit, which adds a splash of colour.  I can't wait to try this recipe myself.

 Sweet Potato Scones Why did I name my blog Sharabelle bakes..... There were 2 reasons. 1.
