The Functional Desserts Program- Learn How to Transform and Create Healthy Mouthwatering Desserts
Have access to the most delicious and truly healthy desserts that nourish your body and soul!
Each of my desserts is crafted with high-quality ingredients, beneficial fats, proteins, rich in fiber and functional components, all while keeping carbohydrates to a minimum. This approach ensures a slow release of glucose post-consumption, fostering prolonged satiety, diminishing sugar cravings, and empowering you with the freedom to indulge guilt-free.
All my desserts are also completely freefromgluten, dairy, lactose and white sugar. In my masterclass, you'll learn innovative techniques to naturally sweeten your creations with the finest nutritional sugars, such as coconut sugar, fruits or plant-based sweeteners, enhancing their health benefits without compromising on taste.
The flavors of my desserts are nothing short of spectacular—they are truly delicious! So much that, those who sample them are often amazed, unable to believe something so healthy can taste so divine.
Cakes and desserts are about joy, love, and creating memorable experiences. My masterclass teaches you to make treats that not only taste incredible but also contribute positively to your well-being.
With my healthy desserts, you're not just baking—you're crafting lasting happiness.
Join me in mastering the secrets of making desserts that taste fantastic and have real wellness benefits, boosting your cooking skills along the way!
Why My Functional Desserts Are Transformative!
You have tried (baking) healthy desserts before. And they let you down.
You have tried the healthy dessert thing before. And it let you down.
Maybe the recipe promised the world and tasted like cardboard. Maybe it looked healthy but left you heavy and craving more an hour later. Maybe every September you decide this is the year you finally clean up the way you eat, and by October the whole plan has quietly fallen apart. You are not the problem. The recipes are.
What happens in these 5 days!
This is not a pile of random recipes. It is a simple method you can use for the rest of your life, taught live, one day at a time. In 5 days you will learn:
How to tell a truly functional dessert from one that is only healthy on the label.
The two principles that make a dessert work with your body.
The most common mistakes that quietly ruin healthy baking, and the simple swaps that fix them.
Why so many sweets leave you heavy and bloated, and how to bake ones that do not.
How to keep desserts in your life without the sugar crash and without the guilt.
Your 5 days, step by step:
Day 1:
The foundation. What functional baking really means, my story, and the two principles behind every recipe.
Day 2:
Feel lighter, not deprived. Why some desserts leave you heavy and bloated, and how to bake ones that do not. We make brownies.
Day 3:
The mistakes. The hidden errors in most healthy desserts, and the swaps that turn them around.
Day 4:
Gluten free and dairy free, without the sacrifice. Why it matters and how to do it well. We make a carrot cake with vegan cream cheese frosting.
Day 5:
The big live. We bake together, cupcakes from scratch, and I answer everything you bring me.
Who is teaching you
I am Leonor. For about ten years I worked as a professional pastry chef, and I ran my own bakery and baking school in Heidelberg, Germany. Along the way I trained through a masterclass at Wilton, earned my PME certification in England, took pastry and cake design courses across London, Germany and Portugal, and did a stage in a restaurant with a Michelin star in France. Then covid changed everything. I started rebuilding my traditional recipes into functional ones, desserts that still taste like the real thing but treat your body with respect. That is exactly what I want to share with you over these 5 days.
This IS for you if:
You love desserts and you are done feeling guilty about it.
You have tried healthy recipes that let you down.
You want a real method, not another stack of random recipes.
You are ready to show up, live, for 5 days.
