PURE SIN. Making your inner devil truly healthy.
Well well well. It was only a matter of time before I wrote a post about my incredible mother.
She is a force of nature and has recently launched a vegan/raw/refined sugar free/gluten free dessert company. Ladies and gents I give you...Pure...Sin. Get it?!
I could write for days on why my mother is such a ridiculously incredible human being but for now I will focus on her incredibly delicious treats. After contracting Lymphedema 20 years after having cervical cancer, my mother, the brave woman that she is - embarked on another health battle that life had thrown at her. Being the graceful lady that she is, she took it in her stride, constantly apologising for the slightest complaint.
The truth is, it hasn’t been easy, although she has made it look so. Having gone from being someone who really does have the most beautiful feet I’ve ever seen! (she still does) but from having been someone who always had presentable feet and like most of us - never thought twice about wearing sandals in the summer, apart from the tiny worry that our feet may be not in acceptable displaying condition - she now has to wear a compression sock. All the time. Every day. It is incredibly tight and thick and on a hot day is enough to put you in a foul mood, but being the trooper she is - she has come to terms with the fact that her new wardrobe consists of beautiful trainers now and less of the Manolo’s she has been tendering to since their purchase 10 years ago.
This new journey she is on, lead her to putting her culinary skills to remarkable use. Now I know everyone loves their mama’s cooking but when I say mine is an insatiable cook, I really am NOT lying. She really was given the magic touch, passed down from my grandmother, the real OG.
Mum’s troubles with her leg lead her to research the condition that is Lymphedema and with everything in life, what you ingest is truly so important and affective on your mind and body. Now for someone with a sweet tooth - the thought of never being ‘naughty’ again, in addition to having a tight sock on your leg all year round is not really the path you may have been hoping for.
Enter Pure Sin, the treats that taste sinful but are made up of raw ingredients and I am not being biased when I say are the tastiest damn things I have ever eaten. This is coming from a junk food addict. A connoisseur if you will. She has nailed it. They are bitesized and are the perfect answer to that craving one gets after a meal.
Pure Sin currently has three flavours. They are bitesize and come in cup form. These flavours are:
1. Peanut Butter and Chocolate Cup (even tastier than a reese’s cup and with no refined sugar, it exists people!!!!!)
2. The vanilla cheesecake.
3. The raw chocolate cheesecake.
My mother and I are quite the cheesecake snobs so you can imagine what my face looked like when she told me that she was creating a ‘vegan cheesecake’. I’m proud to say that it is something I willingly eat all the time and knowing the health benefits over a New York cheesecake leaves me feeling all smug after I’ve consumed about 4 of them, they’re are only 95 cals a cups ;)
