chef aj’s sweet indulgence: guilt-free treats sweetened naturally with fruit

Chef AJ’s love affair with desserts began with the gift of an Easy Bake Oven when she was seven years old. While her passion for creating them has not wavered, her choice of sweeteners changed from sugar to the natural sweetness found in whole foods. Her outrageously delicious plant-based desserts are gluten- and sugar-free and contain no added salt or oil.

Each of the 150+ recipes have indicators that rate each dessert for sweetness (Subtly Sweet, Nice & Sweet, Superbly Sweet) and fat content (Low-fat, Semi-decadent, Rich & Decadent) allowing you to select just the right treat for the occasion and company. This ultimate recipe collection of bars, brownies, cakes, cheesecakes, cobblers, cookies, crisps, cupcakes, ice cream, mousses, muffins, pies, and tarts--often accompanied by mouthwatering photos --will inspire you to create healthy rather than guilty pleasures.
