Whether we’re age 10 or 100, we all deserve a little treat from time to time.
Because life would be pretty dull if we didn’t occasionally indulge our sweet tooth!
That’s right, we love a treat – savoury or sweet – just as much as the next person… or seven-year-old! We just choose low-fructose options, stick to a smaller portion sizes and save them for special occasions. That way, we can make sure we really enjoy every delicious moment.
These seven adult-friendly treats are all based on childhood favourites, but with an adult twist. Because really, why should kids have all the fun?!
1. Espresso Truffles.
These indulgent, bite-sized morsels star in I Quit Sugar: The Ultimate Chocolate Cookbook. We’ve spiked them with a shot of coffee for an adults-only twist that’s very easy to heart!
2. Beetroot Red Velvet Cupcakes.
Beetroot for dessert? It’s possible! And it’s downright delicious. Soft, sweet and velvety smooth, serve them topped with thick Greek yoghurt, whipped coconut cream or cream cheese. Heaven!
3. Espresso Martini.
This one really is for adults only! A tasty cocktail option that takes the fructose out of Friday night drinks (but leaves in all the fun!).
4. Off The Wagon Wheel.
A healthy twist on an old school classic. Sarah’s I Quit Sugar: Simplicious version of this nostalgic choc is packed full of gelatin, meaning your gut will love them as much as your tastebuds.
5. Pumpkin-Spiced Tam Tims.
We’ve spiced up Sarah’s super-popular Tam Tim’s recipe with ginger, nutmeg and cinnamon for an even more delicious choccy biccie. Don’t worry though, you can definitely still sip your tea through one.
6. Miss Marzipan’s Java Chip Frappu-Chia-No.
A café-style frap that’s SO much better than Starbucks. With chia seeds, almond meal and coconut oil, this cuppa joe will really get you going in the morning.
7. Almond Chai Panna Cotta.
The sweet nuttiness of almond pairs perfectly with warming chai spices in this pimped-up Italian dessert. Perfect for your next dinner party (if you can stand to share!).
Is it time to treat yourself?
