Cashews cherries cream dessert (vegan, GF)

May 3, 2017 By travellingoven 4 Comments

You know how I like simple and easy to make desserts? Well, this one couldn’t be easier! You just need few ingredients, put them in your blender and you’ll get a creamy and delicious dessert that you can enjoy any time of the day as it’s actually healthy and good for you, isn’t that just the best?! I will occasionally have a slice of ‘regular’ cake or a macaron but honestly most times I find them just way too sweet and nothing gets me more excited as making (and eating!) desserts that are good for our bodies, full of beautiful healthy ingredients but still taste decadent and delicious! 🙂

Has the Spring arrived in your part of the world? We had some beautiful, warm and sunny days but also some very cold ones when we had to pull out from closets our jackets again and that wasn’t fun! That was the weather like when I spent a week with my family in Dubrovnik over Easter holidays and that was so unusual for this time of the year but it happens I guess. I’m sorry I’m not posting more often here on the blog, it’s just that life has been kind of crazy and very stressful lately. I’ve also been working on few projects, been shooting a lot, had a lot going on in private life and now I have a move to another apartment and another part of the city coming at the end of the month so you can imagine how difficult it is to balance it all. But enough about difficulties and stress!

Let’s see what are some of the things that are making me happy at the moment (not necessarily in this order):

  1. Fresh local strawberries on farmers markets
  2. Sunny days and walks in the sunshine
  3. Coffees with friends and laughing until I have tears coming down my face
  4. Visiting my sister and cuddling and playing with my little niece and nephew
  5. Reading a good book curled up on the sofa
  6. Visiting my parents and being grateful that we have such a beautiful and loving connection
  7. Spending time with my best friend and cuddling her sweet little baby girl
  8. Creating, photographing, doing the work I love
  9. Being around animals and thinking/planning which pet I will get (should I get a dog, a cat, a bunny???)
  10. Daydream and plan my future travels

This method always works, when life gets difficult, just count some of the things that are making you happy and peaceful and you instantly feel better! I would love to hear what are some of yours! I am so grateful for all of you who are following me here and on my Facebook page and Instagram, reading my little stories, looking at my photos and trying out my recipes, that means the world to me so THANK YOU! If you are following me on Instagram and trying out some of the recipes from the blog, don’t forget to tag your photos with #travellingoven so I can see your beautiful creations and you can also always send me a photo on my Facebook page (taken with your phone, some of you worried about the photo quality, please don’t!).

I’ve already used cashews in my recipe, you remember these amazing Raw cashew butter chocolate cups or these yummy Coconut cashew ‘Raffaello’ balls? And now we have this creamy dessert that I’m sure you’ll love just like me! 🙂

Shooting the cookbook and spending my work days cr Shooting the cookbook and spending my work days creating, doing what I love and sharing the same energy and passion with its author @andreapisac has been one of the highlights of this otherwise very difficult year for me. Very grateful that life sometimes when you are at low point sends you people who lift you up and inspire you. 
Beautiful and meaningful connections are such a wonderful thing…❤️ #cookbook #croatiandesserts

Ever tried bobići (or favete)? These little balls Ever tried bobići (or favete)? These little balls of sweetness are a true Dalmatian delight, especially around All Saints’ Day. 🍬
In Split, they’re called bobići, while in Šibenik, you’ll hear favete — but whatever the name, they’re closest to the Italian fave dei morti cookies. Made from almonds, egg whites, sugar, a dash of Maraschino, and a hint of lemon zest, they’re baked to soft, golden perfection. Perfect with a cup of coffee or even a little rakija to balance the sweetness! 
This recipe will be in the upcoming cookbook written by @andreapisac and shot by me, Croatian Desserts Vol. 2, currently in the making! ✨ Stay tuned!

The unique thing about this cookbook is that each step of the process is captured in photos so there is lots of flour, powdered sugar and messy bowls on the set! Stay tuned for more! 😄

Every summer I’m on the vacation in Dubrovnik, m Every summer I’m on the vacation in Dubrovnik, my hometown, at least one morning I get up really early, before the sunrise so I can take photos while most people are still asleep. However, I don’t do it only for the photos. Also, because I love to experience those moments when the streets are still empty and quiet, it feels very peaceful and good for my soul.✨✨✨
Photos and story are on the blog now, link in my profile…
This September besides work I want to focus on fin This September besides work I want to focus on finding joy and pleasure in little ‘ordinary’ everyday things… beauty in simplicity… food that I love, coffee with friends, genuine smiles, cooler nights, fresh breeze, gentle warmth instead of heat…✨✨✨

Who am I kidding, I’m having it also as a ‘snack’ between the meals and not only as a dessert. But hey who’s counting, right? 😄🫣 Here are few delicious desserts (and ice cream of course!) I shot for @poklisar_dubrovnik @dubrovnik_eats … Which one would you choose? 😍
