Dairy free Chocolate Banana 'Ice cream'

There are 2 awesome things about this, first the main ingredient is fruit so it's basically heathy and the other is that you only really need a few other ingredients to make it yummy! 

Pop a sliced up banana in the freezer for an hour or two, then stick it in the food processor and tadaaaa banana like frozen goodness! 

The first one I just added honey and then popped it back in the feeSer for half an hour before munching

 and although not quite up to Ben and Jerry's standards considering it is basically just fruit I'm not complaining! 

Second time I was a little naughtier and added a tablespoon of peanut butter, tablespoon of coco powder and then topped with some sprinkles :) 

Valentines pudding idea perhaps?! 

Gluten Free PUFF PASTRY- It really is Genius!!!

Yesterday, all my dreams came true- Genius announced that they have made a new pastry range which is now being stocked in ASDA stores, including shortcrust, pies and most exciting of all 

PUFF PASTRY! 

You can head over to Genius to read all about it : http://geniusglutenfree.com/gluten-free-living/blog/new-gluten-free-pastry-range/ and you can find your nearest store stocking it here: http://www.geniusglutenfree.com/files/7813/9101/5988/Genius_Gluten_Free_Pastry_Stockists.pdf

I rushed down to my local ASDA with fingers crossed and there it was in the Free From section for £2.50 which to be honest was much more reasonable than I was expecting!

Found it! 

 Unfortunately, I could not will it to defrost any quicker so I had to wait until this morning to test it out! Sausage rolls are the one thing that I miss the most so that was the first thing on my mind! I decided to try one lot with 'normal' sausage meat (I used Debbie and Andrews) and one with Frankfurters as the skinless ones I used to use are impossible to get gluten free.

Debbie and Andrew's sausages, which I skinned

Children's Frankfurters, currently £1 in ASDA

So here it was, put down from free from flour and crossed my fingers that it wasn't going to fall apart when it started rolling, which it didn't!

In hindsight, I could of rolled it thinner but I was worried about over working it, but it fit 3 mini frankfurters perfectly in a row, i then whisked up an egg, folded it over in the middle and used the other half to shape the 2 sausages into one long tube to use for the other half.

Having folded them over, I pressed the edges down with a fork dipped in flour to close them up.

Then cut them in to pieces, far too tempting to eat them all otherwise! 

 Popped them on a baking tray, greased with a few sprays of one kcal sunflower oil and brushed them over with egg just to give them a bit of shine, popped them in the oven and then crossed my fingers that it wouldn't end up a big disappointment!

And after 20mins at 200- IT DIDN'T! :D Look at them!

Yes that is actual flakes! FLAKES!

and best of all? It tastes AMAZING! it has been along time since I have had pastry that tasted anywhere near this good- I am a very very happy Gluten Free Girl right now- diet is definitely going out of the window!
