Review: Triple Chocolate Cheesecake, Peanut Butter Bombs, and More
Jess of Let’s Get Sconed gives My Sweet Vegan a test run ~ “I was honestly already a fan of Hannah’s, so I knew I was in for a treat, ba dum! I’ve been reading her Bittersweet Blog for awhile and was even more impressed with her projects upon interviewing her for the online edition of Herbivore Magazine last year (full article for subscribers here, snippet here).
An adorable, enthusiastic and attentive personality shines in Hannah’s writing online, and that extends into her cookbook. Each recipe not only showcases her top-notch photography and food presentation skills, but again, her writing shines. Every recipe has an introduction - whether it describes why Hannah created it, what to serve alongside, when to make - it’s inspiring.
My Sweet Vegan features more sweets than you think you can handle, but you want to. This book is one I’d recommend for vegan bakers with an appreciation for style - whether you’re a passionate beginner or accomplished home baker. Even Hannah’s more basic recipes put a neat spin on things. You’ll find yourself realizing you NEED a heart shaped pan, for example, because it makes life that much cuter.”
(Triple) Chocolate Cheesecake ~ “My most recent creation was the Triple Chocolate Cheesecake. I did skip the chocolate crust and opted for a storebought graham cracker one. So, let’s call it double chocolate. It was very easy to make, and obviously freaking delicious. I added some peanut butter caramel on top, because I can never things alone.”
Peanut Butter Bombs ~ “These were eaten very quickly by my coworkers, and with good reason. They are surprisingly moist, and the peanut butter filling is a excellent incentive for biting into one!”
Crumb-topped Cranberry Muffins turned Mini Loaves ~ “My boyfriend’s favorite from the book. The cranberry flavor was SO good, and I liked how the citrus added to it. The crumb topping was more sweet coating than ‘crumby’ but it was still good!”
