Part of the joy of having a large and wonderful extended family is cooking for said wonderful family. Even when I complain (and it’s usually loudly) about the varying tastes and dietary needs of my family members, I do actually like coming up with new recipes that they can enjoy. It’s just when they all descend upon me and I have a gluten-free vegan, a meat eater that eschews carbs and the rest of the picky palates all at my dinner table for the same meal, well, that’s when I tend to freak out a bit.
So when the opportunity came up for me to be inventive with So Delicious Cashewmilk Frozen Desserts, I was ready to have some fun for that gluten-free vegan family member of mine. She’s the really hard one to cook/create for, as a lot of vegans still eat gluten products and she has to eat gluten-free. These decadent cashewmilk frozen dessert pints are all Non-GMO Project Verified, certified vegan, soy free and gluten free. There’s also no artificial colours, flavours, or sweeteners, and they are a seriously delicious dairy free dessert!
I chose to work with the Dark Chocolate Truffle Cashewmilk Frozen Dessert (because it’s chocolate, so naturally it was my first pick) and I wanted to make a frozen dessert square. The base is a decadent oatmeal cocoa base, made with gluten-free flour and coconut oil. The chocolate cashewmilk dessert is spread on top, then topped with a vegan caramel sauce.
It’s pretty amazing what desserts you can come up with nowadays and it certainly helps to have delicious products like the cashewmilk frozen dessert. It made it SO easy for me to whip this up and like I said, when you are surrounded by a table full of relatives that all eat differently, you need a fast and easy dessert like this in your back pocket.
So Happy Baking everyone! I hope that you love this as much as we did!
Love,
Karlynn
