Sugar-Free and Gluten-Free Dessert Class in Veliko Tarnovo

Discover a different way to enjoy something sweet with a sugar-free and gluten-free dessert class in Veliko Tarnovo. Over three hours, you will make desserts that bring out the natural flavours of cocoa, nuts and fruit. The class explores how thoughtful ingredient choices can go hand in hand with the pleasure of dessert, without losing the rich flavours and satisfying textures that make traditional recipes so appealing.

A welcoming, inspiring setting gives you space to get hands-on and explore your creativity. You will discover combinations of naturally sweet ingredients as you make four distinct desserts, moving from bite-sized raw treats to a fruit cake finished with glaze.

Raw vegan bites with dates, coconut and cocoa

Your first recipe is a batch of raw vegan sweets. Dates and coconut provide natural sweetness, complemented by cocoa and delicate nutty flavours. You will learn how to balance the ingredients so that the mixture has both the right level of sweetness and a satisfying consistency.

Shaping is part of the experience too. You will turn the mixture into attractive, fragrant little bites to serve or enjoy whenever you fancy a sweet treat during the day. This gives you the chance to consider presentation alongside flavour.

Flourless, sugar-free chocolate “rock” cakes

Next comes a fresh interpretation of skalichki, the familiar Bulgarian sweets shaped like little rocky peaks. This version contains no flour or sugar, yet delivers a pronounced cocoa flavour and a pleasant crunch. Using oats, nut butter and cocoa, you will explore how these ingredients can become a wholesome, tasty alternative to conventional sweet treats.

This part of the class shows how a much-loved dessert can retain its distinctive character even when you take a different approach to its ingredients.

A rich chocolate cake with a soft, moist crumb

You will also make a chocolate cake with a deep flavour and a tender, moist texture. Quality cocoa, nut flour and natural sweeteners form the foundation of the recipe. You will see how they come together in a dessert designed to offer a lighter, balanced way to enjoy chocolate, with careful ingredient selection at its heart.

The focus here is on bringing together an intense cocoa flavour and a delicate texture: two qualities that make chocolate cake such an enduring favourite.

Mango cake with a smooth glaze

The fruity finale is a mango cake with a glazed finish: airy, fragrant and light in character. You will explore plant-based creams and learn how to achieve a smooth, elegant glaze.

Assembling the cake is part of the process, with attention to the way its appearance complements its flavour. This final dessert brings the session together through its distinctive fruit notes and carefully finished presentation.
