Gluten-Free Sweet Canolis with Creme Patissiere and Zilli Green

Since I was completing my yoga teacher training course this week (I am now done, yay!), I didn't have much time to post (although I have been cooking and experimenting a bit).
One of the recipes that my fellow yogis really enjoyed were the gluten-free Sweet Canolis that I made this week. It was quite fun rolling and 'cutting' out the canolis out of the flaxseed dough:

I dehydrated the canoli base over night, but you could easily just bake the bake the base at 180 C/350 F if you prefer.

After, I made Creme Patissiere (dairy-free and SO easy to make). Once the canolis were wrapped and baked, I filled a pipping bag with the creme and filled the canolis:

 

Last night Sam and I went to Zilli Green, (http://www.zillirestaurants.co.uk/green/menu/bites-and-starters/) a vegetarian/vegan restaurant in Soho (thanks Eva :). The food was amazing. Particularly, the burger and  Homemade Chocolate & Cherry Liqueur Brownie with Ice Cream. It is the BEST brownie that I have ever had- so moist, yet chewy with a lot of texture (not to mention that it is vegan and gluten-free!). The accompaniment of ice cream (vegan as well) really topped it off on this warm night:

I HIGHLY recommend that anyone in London go to Zilli Green, if not for the food, then for the brownie at least!
