​We're not really into fancy desserts but sometimes you've just got to celebrate by binge eating sugary food. This pie is the perfect birthday treat for your favourite vegan. Or the perfect Sunday afternoon snack for your favourite non-vegan. Or the perfect Easter treat for your favourite coeliac... basically if someone wanted to make me this pie, I'd be happy.
 
It uses aquafaba - which is just a fancy name for the water that you can pour off tinned chickpeas and beans. I was very skeptical about it at first but honestly, it's great. I find the water from lighter coloured beans the least "beanny" and if you can find unsalted or low salt beans, that's even better.
 
This dessert pairs well with champagne, but then again, so does everything. As it appears here the recipe is gluten-free, though of course feel free to use wheat based flour and pastry if you're not a coeliac.

Granddad loves to come and visit the kids and being the healthy man that he is he always brings a watermelon for us all to snack on (quite often along with a bottle of champagne but we'll pretend that's healthy too!). We love it, but every now and then the watermelon gets the better of us and we just can’t finish it despite our best efforts. That was when we discovered this beauty! It is the most simple and delicious snack you’ll ever make yourself – so simple, in fact, that you’re going to have finished reading this blog (and making yourself a watermelon smoothie, if you happen to have a water melon hanging around waiting to be eaten) before you’ve finished your cup of tea!
 
Chop up the water melon, or break it up, or spoon it out, in to pieces small enough to fit in to the blender but big enough to still make the blender do some work – it’s more satisfying that way. I think this is what Jamie Oliver means when he says “clank it up [proceeds to cut said ingredient] clank, clank, clank”. I love it!
