Rich Flavors

Modern holiday cooking is

all about striking a balance

between wholesome

ingredients and cherished

indulgences. The point is

to eat consciously while

still having some fun. For

an alternative to refi ned

white sugar, try Sugar In

The Raw®’s unbleached

Turbinado sugar. The

golden crystals have a rich

molasses flavor perfect

for holiday classics,

from pumpkin pie to

gingerbread cookies—

and are also non-GMO,

vegan, and gluten-free.

Clever Swaps

Reduce calories and sugar

by replacing half the sugar

in your recipe with Stevia

In The Raw® Bakers Bag. It

measures conveniently cup

for cup just like sugar, and

can save up to 700 calories

per cup of sugar replaced.

Another way to amplify

the nutrients, vitamins,

and fi ber in your favorite

holiday sweets is by

getting creative with fruits

and veggies, such as apple

sauce and sweet potatoes.

Or add flavor through

spices like cinnamon,

nutmeg, and allspice.

Time Saving

Whether you’re making

dessert for a dinner party

or looking for a treat to

get you through the busy

season, this pumpkin-y

twist on classic tiramisu

will be your new go-to.

The mix of warm spice,

coffee, and dark rum make

it the ultimate pick-me-up

(which is what “tiramisu”

actually means in Italian).

Served in ramekins or

small jars, it’s nicely

portioned and attractively

presented for a pretty

addition to your table—

or a lunch-box surprise.
