Yeaaahhh! I used Bryanna Clark Grogan's recipe and they were PERFECT! Anyone who knows me well, knows my love for these seasonal sugar-overloads and can understand how upset I am that they aren't vegan. I meant to make these last year, but never got around to it and now that I have made them and know how easy it is, LOOK OUT! Seriously, they're super-easy, just with a lot of waiting time in between steps. No prob. I made the centers saturday morning, chilling them in the fridge for a few hours before forming them into balls (that flattened pretty quickly) and let them sit overnight. I put two coats of chocolate on them, and they are super-deluxe. The easiest way I could figure out, dipping them in the melted chocolate, was to just drop it it in the pot and turn it around with a fork, and scoop it out with a fork. I can see some caramel eggs in my future...
I made a homemade greek platter last night, with VWAV falafel (a dill sauce made with veganaise on top), hummus that turned out a bit thick, whole wheat pitas (they puffed ! ) and a yummy salad with mustard greens, lots of sprouts, and parsnips with a ginger-thyme vinaigrette. 
Look! Puffs! I have no idea what the secret is. It just happens sometimes, and I can never get a whole batch to all puff. I think maybe rolling out with the rolling pin helps? Maybe? No clue. I have tried different recipes, and haven't found any sure winners or losers. 
Lasaaaaaaagna! I made the Cashew ricotta from VCon, but used walnuts instead. 
I've had a fab day off today. I went and renewed my license (oh woo), spent a gift certificate at Macy's (got a new cast iron grill pan and a BUNDT pan!), and painted for a bit in the park. I bought some supplies today for a fun new project that I'm excited for. Hopefully will be able to put together by next weekend. Yaay spring inspiration! Hope everyone's long weekend was rockin'!

i was going to make those vegan cadbury eggs but totally forgot! they are the ultimate in my favorite not-at-all-vegan candy. this was my first ever easter without them... still, i guess it doesn't necessarily HAVE to be easter for me to make them, say, any day of the month/year/week. so many other lovely yummies as well! glad to hear about your puffy pitas...that's something i still have yet to master.
ReplyDeletehey, happy birthday.
I cannot believe that someone veganized those! I used to go to CVS after easter and stock up on all the reduced priced ones... and gorge!
ReplyDeleteThose turned out amazing!
Cadbury Creme Eggs veganised, amazing!
ReplyDeleteI made vegan cadbury creme eggs for Eater, too, and I think they were even better than the real thing, and so did my dad! Oh and that greek platter looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteI am amazed and super impressed that someone actually veganized Cadbury Creme eggs. They look even better than the real thing because the filling isn't so runny.
