Peanut Butter Cup Nice Cream (Vegan)

Peanut Butter Cup Nice Cream.  This ice cream is made healthier, but it’s still also a little indulgent.  I used a frozen banana base and added some dark chocolate peanut butter cups to it.

I used Justin’s Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups which are naturally vegan.  While they do contain a bit of sugar, they are far better than a Reese’s cup! Besides, we all need to indulge every once and a while.  It’s called balance.

My mouth is watering just thinking about this ice cream!  It definitely did not last long in our house. I hope you all enjoy it as much as we did.

Another great thing about this ice cream recipe is that you don’t need an ice cream maker to make it! Anyone can make it as long as you have a blender or food processor.  Easy peasy.

If you wanted to make this recipe nut free, you can use sunflower butter instead of cashew butter.  You may have to add a little milk to get the mixture super creamy.

Healthy Banana Coconut Cream Pie

OMG, you guys.  This Healthy Banana Coconut Cream Pie is EPIC.  It’s been a long time in the making.  I actually attempted a similar recipe last year and it didn’t quite turn out right.  I am pleased to say that this healthy pie recipe came out awesome!

This pie is vegan, gluten free, paleo and free of refined sugars.  There are a few steps, but I promise it’s pretty easy.  I am also including a video tutorial in the post for you.  If videos are more your thing, you can follow my You Tube channel as well.

If you wanted to make this nut free, you can always use a different crust recipe.  Oat flour may work nicely as well. If anyone makes the crust with oat flour, please leave me a comment and let me know how it turned out.

The banana mixture itself would also make an amazing topping over ice cream.  Yum!

White Chocolate Banana Cookies

We are about to head to Disney World for vacation, and I am trying to use up what I have on hand.  That’s how these White Chocolate Banana Cookies came about. I had some leftover vegan white chocolate chips from my White Chocolate Raspberry Squares, so I thought this was a perfect way to use them up.  After all, white chocolate and banana go so well together!  If you can’t find vegan white chocolate chips, you can most definitely use regular chocolate chips instead.  Macadamia nuts may also by another yummy option.  The best part about this recipe is it has just 4 simple ingredients!
