Do you like piña coladas? I recently tasted my very first piña colada while on vacation. Omg YUM! I wanted to recreate the unforgettable flavor, but in a healthier way. This cake is made with fresh pineapple, coconut cream and very little added sugar! PLUS it has a secret ingredient that adds even more nutrients.

You would never guess that there’s an ENTIRE zucchini hidden inside of it. Haha! Yes, vegetables in your dessert, because who doesn’t need more green veggies in their life? I promise you can’t taste vegetables. The zucchini actually makes it more creamy.

Salted Caramel Cashew Ice Cream (Vegan)

Calling all ice cream fans!  This Salted Caramel Cashew Ice Cream is a must make.  I think it is my new favorite.

Before making this recipe, my favorite was the cherry chocolate chip ice cream.  The best part about this ice cream is that is has zero added sugar.

That’s right.  You heard me correct.  This healthier ice cream recipe is sweetened only with dates!  The dates make up the caramel portion of this recipe.

Raspberry Coconut Ice Cream (Vegan)

I use my ice cream maker at least once a week in the summer.  This Raspberry Coconut Ice Cream is my latest creation.  I just love the combination of raspberry and coconut, don’t you?

This ice cream recipe is vegan, gluten free and paleo approved.  Zero processed sugar too.

One thing I noticed about store bought healthier ice creams is that they all still contain processed sugars, and have too long of an ingredient list for me.  My homemade ice cream recipes are super simple to make and you can control the ingredients and the sugar amount.

Snickerdoodle Cookie Dough Dip

I recently made a Brownie Batter Hummus that got really good reviews.  So this Snickerdoodle Cookie Dough Dip is another variation of dessert hummus.  It’s PERFECT for summer because who really wants to turn on the oven in this heat?

This is dough you can eat straight up, or you can thin it out to make the dip. Win win all around in my opinion.

This Snickerdoodle Cookie Dough Dip is super easy to make.  Vegan and gluten free.  You only need 4 ingredients + water if it’s needed. Serve with fruit, graham crackers, or eat it by the spoon! 🙂 If you do feel like baking this, I think that could also work.
