My friend Amy, author of the website Simply Sugar and Gluten-Free recently published her cookbook, Simply Sugar & Gluten Free, 180 Easy and Delicious Recipes You Can Make in 20 Minutes or Less. I couldn't wait to get my copy! When it arrived I sat down and didn't get up again until I had read the whole book. Don't you love books like that?I was especially intrigued by the chapter on spreads and condiments, and socca (which I've never heard of and can't wait to try), but when I saw this whipped gelatin recipe I had to make it immediately. Well, twice actually. I made it twice in the first 24 hours I had Amy's cookbook. =)
This banana blueberry whipped gelatin, sweetened only with fruit, is irresistible. It took only a few minutes to make, and mine doubled in size in my Blendtec, so I didn't even have to use a handheld mixer after it began setting up. It went straight from my blender to some cute dishes, to the fridge, to my mouth =) And not that I don't like Jell-O, I do, but it wasn't the texture of Jell-O at all. It was fluffy and airy like I remember canned whipped cream.
And speaking of whipped cream, I topped each one with Amy's whipped coconut cream. It too could not have been easier or faster to make. I can't say enough good things about these two recipes!
Amy has offered her fantastic new cookbook to one lucky winner here on Spunky!

All this vegan, sugar-free, gluten-free cooking is such a mystery to me as I am new to it all....poking around trying to find recipes so I don't just end up starving myself by eliminating everything I don't need or can't have in the pursuit of healing my body. I can't tell you how much these cookbooks help me make sense of it all and re-learn how to cook from scratch. Thank you for the opportunity to win. And thanks for all your helpful and inspiring posts.
Blessings,
