Sugar-Free vs. Traditional Desserts: A Sweet Showdown
Let's be honest, we all love a sweet treat now and then. But if you're watching your sugar intake, traditional desserts laden with refined sugar can leave you feeling guilty and potentially derail your health goals. That's where sugar-free desserts come to the rescue! Here at Anurakti, we're passionate about proving that healthy and delicious can absolutely coexist. So, let's dive into the differences between sugar-free and traditional desserts.
The Sugar Factor
The most obvious difference lies in the type of sweetener used. Traditional desserts heavily rely on refined white sugar, which provides a burst of sweetness but comes with several downsides:
Empty Calories: Refined sugar offers little nutritional value.
Blood Sugar Spikes: It leads to rapid blood sugar increases followed by crashes, leaving you craving even more sugar.
Health Risks: Excessive sugar intake is linked to weight gain, inflammation, and chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes.
Sugar-free desserts, on the other hand, utilize alternative sweeteners:
Natural Sweeteners: Options like dates, monk fruit, and stevia offer sweetness with added nutritional benefits like fiber and antioxidants.
Sugar Alcohols: Erythritol and xylitol provide sweetness with fewer calories and minimal impact on blood sugar.
Taste and Texture: It's Not What You Think
A common misconception is that sugar-free desserts lack flavor or have odd textures. At Anurakti, we work tirelessly to ensure our treats are just as indulgent as their traditional counterparts. Here's how:
Flavour Exploration: Natural sweeteners often have unique flavor profiles (think caramel notes from dates), adding depth to our desserts.
Clever Ingredient Swaps: Applesauce can replace some fats for moistness, while nut butters add richness.
Recipe Perfection: Our bakers carefully balance ingredients and techniques to achieve the perfect textures we all crave in desserts.
Examples from Anurakti's Kitchen
Chocolate Cake
Our decadent chocolate cake uses a blend of natural sweeteners and rich cocoa for a deeply satisfying experience.
Lemon Pistachio Bliss
A delightful blend of cashews, and lemon with a hint of coconut sweetness. Vegan, gluten-free, and made with no refined sugar.
Raw Bites
Dates, nuts, and superfood ingredients come together in energy-packed bites perfect for a sweet pick-me-up.
The Verdict
Sugar-free desserts offer a way to enjoy sweet treats without the negative consequences of refined sugar. They can be just as delicious, satisfying, and diverse as traditional desserts. If you're looking to make healthier choices without sacrificing your sweet tooth, Anurakti is here to prove that it's absolutely possible!
Remember, moderation is key in any healthy lifestyle. Come explore the world of sugar-free indulgence at Anurakti!
Plant-Based Protein Sources Every Vegan Should Know
Hello, my fellow vegans and the vegan-curious! Have you ever been bombarded with that age-old question, "Where do you get your protein?" Well, after reading this article, you'll have an arsenal of answers and some delicious ideas for meals. Get ready to take notes!
Legumes: The Muscle Builders
Lentils
Clocking in at around 18 grams of protein per cup, lentils are a vegan's best friend. They are super versatile. Think lentil burgers, lentil soup, or even lentil-based salads. They also come in different colours like green, brown, and red, each with its unique texture and taste.
Chickpeas
Also known as garbanzo beans, chickpeas provide about 15 grams of protein per cup. They're the star in dishes like hummus and chickpea curry. Roast them with your favourite spices for a crunchy snack.
Have you tried our delicious Protein Burger?
Nuts and Seeds: The Nutrient-Dense Snacks
Almonds
These crunchy delights offer approximately 6 grams of protein per ounce. Beyond snacking, try almond flour for gluten-free baking or almond milk for your daily smoothies.
Chia Seeds
A single ounce gives you around 5 grams of protein. Mix them in water for a quick gel, toss them into a smoothie, or make a chia pudding. They're also rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
Grains: More Than Just Filling
Quinoa
Come and try our healthy Quinoa salad for the perfect healthy lunch!
A complete protein that contains all nine essential amino acids, one cup of cooked quinoa offers 8 grams of protein. Use it as a rice substitute, make quinoa bowls, or even quinoa porridge for breakfast.
Brown Rice
Our healthy take on a Ragu Arancina will make you wanting more!
This humble grain offers about 5 grams per cup. It's the foundation for stir-fries, pilafs, and can even be turned into rice milk.
Fruits and Veggies: Don't Underestimate Them
Avocado
This creamy delight offers around 3 grams of protein per cup. Avocado toast, anyone? Or how about a smooth, avocado-based chocolate mousse?
Spinach
Our mouth-watering Spinach and Olive Arancina.
Popeye's favourite green provides approximately 5 grams of protein per cooked cup. Add it to salads, soups, or smoothies for an extra nutrient punch.
Specially Processed: Protein-Packed and Convenient
Tofu and Tempeh
While processed, these soy-based options are protein powerhouses. A cup of tempeh can contain up to 31 grams of protein, while tofu offers around 20 grams. They can mimic the texture of meat in various recipes, from stir-fries to BBQs.
A Sweet Addition: Anurakti's Berrylicious Cake
Just when you thought a vegan dessert couldn't possibly be nutrient-dense and delectable at the same time, let me introduce you to Anurakti's Berrylicious cake. Trust me; this is not your average cake from the Malta cakes market.
Composed of a rich shortbread biscuit layer, a creamy cashew middle, and topped off with a vibrant berry jam, this cake is nothing short of a masterpiece.
And let's talk ingredients; made from gluten-free oats, almonds, coconut, and a medley of strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries, this cake serves not only indulgence but also health benefits.
What sets it apart is its impressive protein content. Each serving offers 9.1 grams of protein, making it a powerhouse among vegan desserts. It's also rich in good fats and fiber, all while being raw, vegan, gluten-free, and free of refined sugar.
Whether you're looking to treat yourself or impress your non-vegan friends, Berrylicious is the perfect fusion of sweet, creamy, and tangy flavors, packed with enough protein to keep you going. Don't just take our word for it—come in and try a slice for yourself!

A vegan diet doesn't have to be protein-deficient; it can be protein-rich, diverse, and absolutely delicious!
Our Journey: Crafting the Perfect Vegan Dessert Menu
The quest to design the ultimate vegan menu is not just about mixing ingredients. It's an artistic journey full of passion, creativity, and countless taste tests! Let us take you behind the scenes of how Anurakti Malta embarked on this delicious expedition.
Anurakti’s Beginning
Once upon a time, in the sun-drenched archipelago of Malta, there was a dream. A dream to create vegan cakes so delectable, they'd rival their non-vegan counterparts. We didn't just want to be another café offering cakes in Malta; we wanted to make a mark in the vegan community with exquisite vegan desserts.
Our first challenge? Finding the right balance between flavour and texture without relying on traditional ingredients. Replacing eggs and dairy was the first hurdle. After some joyous successes and a few... shall we say, 'learning experiences', we discovered the magic of ingredients like chia seeds, aquafaba, and coconut milk.
The Journey to Sugar Free Cakes
Next came the sugar-free cakes. Cutting out refined sugar while ensuring our cakes still tasted heavenly was no easy task. But after a few late nights, several cups of coffee, and maybe one or two sugar-crashes, we found the secret—natural sweeteners! Dates, maple syrup, and stevia became our new best friends.
Our signature Brownie is guaranteed to satisfy the biggest cravings!
But our journey wasn't just about the food. It was also about learning and growing together as a team. We laughed over spilled almond milk, had debates about the ideal level of sweetness, and celebrated each little victory, like the first time a customer’s eyes lit up after tasting one of our creations.
We travelled, researched, and tasted (oh, how we tasted!). From the traditional vegan desserts of the East to the innovative concoctions of the West, we drew inspiration from everywhere. And slowly, with love and persistence, our menu started taking shape.
Join us for a Vegan Dessert
Today, when you walk into Anurakti Malta, you're not just entering a café. You're stepping into a story, our story, filled with passion and dedication to bringing you the finest vegan desserts. And as you bite into one of our creations, know that it's not just a cake—it's a piece of our heart.
Try the irresistible Berrylicious for the perfect take-home treat!
So, the next time you're in the mood for something sweet, remember our journey and let us share a slice of our dream with you. We promise, it'll be an experience you'll cherish!

Anurakti's Guide to Pairing Vegan Desserts with Coffee
Hello, dear readers and connoisseurs of all things sweet and caffeinated! Today we're diving into an aromatic adventure, as we explore the art of pairing your favourite vegan desserts with coffee. Anurakti is well known for our array of cakes in Malta, each one a unique delight in its own right. Now, it's time to take these sweet indulgences to another level by coupling them with the right brew. Intrigued? Let's begin!
Lemon Cheesecake with Ethiopian Coffee
A slice of our tangy and refreshing Lemon Cheesecake deserves a special beverage to enhance its zest. We recommend pairing it with a delicate cup of Ethiopian coffee. Ethiopian coffee is often described as winey due to its strong, dry, and acidic yet fruity components.
This makes it the perfect match for the tangy-sweet profile of our Lemon Cheesecake. The coffee's bright and lively notes uplift the citrusy flavor of the cheesecake, making every bite an exhilarating taste adventure. Discover this fusion of flavors and enjoy a slice of vegan Malta's dessert paradise.
Snickers Cake with Colombian Coffee
Our Snickers Cake is an absolute crowd-pleaser with its indulgent blend of flavors. Featuring a succulent layer of caramel paired with a rich, chocolatey finish, it's pure vegan delight. To balance out the richness, try a cup of Colombian coffee alongside.
Colombian coffee is famous for its smooth, well-balanced flavor profile, with notes of nuts, chocolate, and mild fruits. It's a medium-bodied coffee with bright acidity that cuts through the richness of the cake, allowing you to enjoy each flavor without overwhelming your palate. Together, these two create a tantalizing pairing that encapsulates the best of cakes in Malta, a must-try for any dessert lover.
Experience Speciality Coffee at Anurakti
Every coffee lover knows that the perfect cup of coffee begins with high-quality beans, and at Anurakti's Healthy Hub in Qawra,
With each coffee we serve, we use 19g exceptional beans per shot. This guarantees a full-bodied flavor that marries perfectly with our vegan desserts and Malta cakes. The intense taste of coffee brings out the best in our treats, making for a truly indulgent experience.
But don't limit this luxurious coffee experience to our café. To allow you to recreate the taste of Anurakti at home, we also sell Coffee Bean Bags. So come, join us at our Healthy Hub in Qara, enjoy a cup of Bocca coffee with your favourite vegan treat, and take home a bag of beans to relish this remarkable coffee anytime you desire. 💪
Cookies and Cream Cake with Kenyan Coffee
Our Cookies and Cream Cake is a chocolate lover's dream, packed with crunchy cookie bits and a luscious cream filling. Its rich, indulgent flavor is a party in your mouth that's absolutely delightful. To create a perfect symphony of flavors, pair it with a robust Kenyan coffee.
Kenyan coffees are known for their bright and vibrant acidity, often with a wine-like quality, and strong flavours of blackberries and blackcurrants. The fruity and tart notes of Kenyan coffee perfectly balance the sweet and creamy richness of the cookies and cream cake. Each sip of coffee will refresh your palate, readying it for the next bite of this delectable Malta cake. So, when planning your next sweet treat indulgence, don't forget this heavenly pairing!
Raw Energy Balls with a Cappuccino: The Perfect Energising Treat
Our Raw Energy Balls are packed with nuts and seeds, offering a complex texture that's both chewy and crunchy. Each bite gives you a burst of natural sweetness from dates and a robust, earthy flavour from the assorted nuts. These nutrient-dense energy balls are not just delicious; they're also a fantastic source of protein, healthy fats, and fibre.
On the other hand, the cappuccino, with its silky milk foam and rich, robust espresso, provides a smooth and creamy counterpoint to the energy balls' nutty texture. The coffee's deep, slightly bitter taste wonderfully offsets the natural sweetness of the energy balls, creating a harmonious blend of flavours.
Moreover, the warmth of the cappuccino and the room-temperature energy balls create a pleasant contrast in temperatures, adding another layer to this delightful pairing. The combination is particularly excellent for those seeking a mid-morning snack or a light yet energising dessert option that doesn't compromise on taste or nutrition.
Lemon & Pistachio Cake with Americano
For those seeking lighter, brighter flavours, our Lemon & Pistachio Cake is a delight. The cake's citrus notes find a lovely balance with a smooth Americano, a type of coffee that’s brewed longer for a less concentrated flavour. The citrusy tang of the cake is rounded off by the coffee's mellow notes, resulting in a harmony of flavours that'll have you reaching for another slice!
Being vegan in Malta has seen a surge in popularity in recent years, and Anurakti is proud to be part of this burgeoning community. We believe that enjoying food should never mean compromising on your dietary choices or your love for the environment. Our vegan desserts and this guide to pairing them with coffee are a testament to this belief.
So next time you enjoy one of Anurakti's delectable desserts, why not try them with a coffee pairing? Whether you're a seasoned coffee connoisseur or new to the world of flavour pairings, there's an enchanting experience waiting for you with every sip and bite. Happy tasting!
The Magic of Vegan Baking: Our Top Tips and Tricks
Cakes in Malta are taking on a deliciously vegan twist, and we at Anurakti are at the heart of this transformation. Greetings to all food enthusiasts and aspiring bakers! Step into a realm where traditional baking staples like sugar, eggs, and milk find plant-based alternatives. Fasten your apron and warm up your oven because we're about to dive into the enchanting world of vegan baking, unveiling the secrets behind Anurakti's irresistibly tempting creations that Malta has grown to love.
Embrace the Variety of Plant-Based Alternatives
One might think that vegan baking is restrictive, but it's far from it. Baking vegan means exploring a world of plant-based alternatives, each bringing a unique flavour and texture to the party. Dairy milk? Try almond, soy, or oat milk instead. Eggs? Flaxseed or chia seed 'eggs', apple sauce, or even mashed banana can do the trick.
Our secret tip? For fluffier cakes, opt for sparkling water as your egg substitute. This little trick is what makes our vegan cakes at Anurakti light and airy.
Sifting through the Sweetness: The Art of Sugar-Free Baking
The beauty of vegan baking is that it can easily align with sugar-free dietary preferences. After all, nature has gifted us with an array of natural sweeteners. Date syrup, maple syrup, agave nectar, and even fruits like bananas and apples can add the right touch of sweetness to your baked goods.
Our choice for sugar-free desserts? We swear by date syrup for its rich, caramel-like sweetness that complements our cakes and pastries beautifully.
Have you tried our irresistible Banana and Cacao Loaf? Guaranteed to satisfy any sweet tooth!
The Magic of Gluten-Free Baking
Going vegan and gluten-free? Fear not. There are plenty of gluten-free alternatives available. Almond flour, oat flour, buckwheat flour, and even chickpea flour can replace traditional wheat flour. Each brings a unique taste and texture, so don't be afraid to experiment and find your favourite. Remember, gluten-free flours often require a binding agent, so don't forget your flaxseed or chia 'eggs'!
The Importance of Quality Ingredients
Here's a golden rule we follow at Anurakti - always choose the best quality ingredients. Non-dairy milk? Go for organic. Flour? Opt for whole grain when possible. Sweeteners? Natural and unprocessed is the way to go. Quality ingredients not only taste better but also contribute to the nutritional value of your desserts.
Get Creative!
Finally, don't be afraid to get creative. Vegan baking opens up a world of possibilities. Try new flavours, textures, and colours. From vibrant beetroot red velvet cake to decadently rich chocolate cake made luscious with ripe avocados, there are so many ways to delight your palate.
So, there you have it - the magic of vegan baking, unveiled. Remember, whether you're a seasoned baker or just starting your vegan baking journey, it's all about having fun in the kitchen. So, preheat that oven, roll up your sleeves, and start creating your vegan magic. Happy baking!

The Power of Plants
Choosing a vegan diet means adopting a lifestyle that eliminates all animal products, relying instead on the power of plants. And oh boy, are plants powerful! Fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains are packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber that our bodies need to thrive.
So, what's on the menu? Think vibrant salads, hearty lentil soups, fresh fruits, and even indulgent vegan desserts. That's right, at Anurakti, we create mouthwatering delicacies like our signature vegan cakes, all loaded with plant-based goodness.

Going gluten-free means saying goodbye to wheat, barley, rye, and their derivatives. But why do it? Apart from being a necessity for those with Celiac disease or gluten intolerance, a gluten-free diet can be beneficial for overall gut health and inflammation reduction.
What do we serve up gluten-free? How about almost everything! Our menu is a paradise for gluten-free eaters. One bite of our popular gluten-free desserts, and you'll be smitten. Trust us, you won't miss the gluten.
Health Benefits Galore
Now, let's get down to the nitty-gritty - what are the health benefits of these diets?
1. Nutrient-Rich: Vegan diets are rich in key nutrients like fiber, antioxidants, and beneficial plant compounds that boost overall health.
2. Weight Management: A vegan and gluten-free diet can aid in weight management. Foods in these categories are typically lower in calories and help keep you feeling full longer.

Behind the Scenes of Anurakti's Signature Desserts - Lemon & Pistachio
Hello, health-conscious foodies and dessert lovers!
Welcome to our first of 'Behind the Scenes' where we reveal the magic that happens in Anurakti's kitchen. Today, we're highlighting one of our fan favourites - the Lemon & Pistachio dessert. This heavenly dessert perfectly balances tangy lemon with crunchy pistachios and a hint of matcha green tea. Plus, it's a refined sugar free dessert, raw, vegan, and gluten-free, making it a perfect choice for any occasion.
Gathering the Ingredients
We begin by sourcing the highest quality ingredients: cashews, lemon, almonds, and pistachio are the stars of this show, accompanied by coconut, agave syrup, cacao butter, coconut oil, and matcha green tea. The percentage composition of this delightful dessert is 12% lemon and 3% pistachio. Each ingredient is carefully chosen to ensure our customers are enjoying not only tasty but also nutrition-packed vegan desserts
Crafting the Dessert
Now comes the fun part: turning these ingredients into a luscious dessert! We start with the base, made from a mixture of cashews, almonds, and pistachios, lending a delicious nutty flavour and crunchy texture. Next, we blend in the lemon, agave syrup, and coconut oil to create a creamy, citrusy filling that's as refreshing as a Mediterranean breeze. Finally, we add a dusting of matcha green tea powder and top the dessert with chopped pistachios, for that beautiful final touch.
Serving the Dessert
We let the dessert set in the freezer to ensure it keeps its beautiful shape and texture. Once ready to serve, we let it thaw slightly before presenting it to our customers. One bite, and you're transported to a world of tangy, sweet, and nutty flavours – a true Anurakti experience!
Enjoy at Anurakti or at Home
This enchanting Lemon & Pistachio dessert can be enjoyed right here in our cosy café in Malta or ordered online to savour at home.
Please note that while this dessert is carefully crafted, it may contain small fragments of fruit stone, and it's produced in an area where peanuts are handled.

A Day in the Life at Anurakti: Our Journey from Online Store to Coffee Shop
As I sit here in our little corner of heaven - our healthy vegan café, Anurakti, I find myself reflecting on the journey we've been on. We started from scratch back in 2013, eager to take on the challenge of creating delightful, nourishing vegan cakes and vegan desserts.
From Personal Lifestyle to Business Vision
The initial idea of Anurakti was born from a personal lifestyle and a dream. Starting a business is no easy feat; it's a journey filled with triumphs and trials, beginnings, and learning curves. As a small business owner, I felt the pull to create something that could offer a healthier alternative to our community.
Pioneering a New Concept
Introducing gluten-free desserts and vegan cakes that are also diabetic-friendly was met with curiosity and intrigue. In the beginning, our concept was new to the local scene, but the joy in customers' eyes when they tasted our creations for the first time made all the hard work worthwhile.
Now, we've grown from an online store to a physical location. Our café is bustling with activity, filled with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee, the gentle hum of conversation, and the sight of our ideas and creativity materializing into scrumptious meals and desserts.
We're not just about the food though - we're about the community. Every face that walks through our door is a part of our Anurakti family. The conversations we share, the smiles we exchange, and the memories we make - these are what breathe life into our café every day.
The Joy of Success
