12 Amazing Sugar and Dairy Free Desserts

I know the pain of not being able to have sugar and dairy and still have a sweet tooth! This is why I created a recipe collection of sugar AND dairy-free desserts that taste delicious and leave you coming for more.

When it comes to sugar-free eating, I find that cravings hit so hard from time to time that I end up either falling off the sugar-free wagon or trying to overdo some other food.

One Secret To Professional Baking

One of the biggest factors that set apart professional bakers from hobby bakers is the consistency of quality results. How do they do that? Experience is not all! In order to make great desserts every time you need to make sure your ingredients are measured correctly. The best way to do that is to use a 12$ digital scale.

Most of us are used to cups and spoons, yet, how many times have you ended up with desserts that were too dense, too dry, too wet, didn't spread, spread too much, etc.? In order to measure well with cups and spoons you must use the spoon-and-level method, yet, even then you can't ensure a 100% match in the amount you used the last time you made the recipe. A digital scale will not only save you time but will reduce the need for cleanup (which saves even more time and money, too).
