Snickerdoodle Caramel Ice Cream (Vegan)

April 24, 2016April 7, 2018 Melissa King 12 Comments

Do you love snickerdoodles? Or caramel? I have combined both those delicious flavors to create this Snickerdoodle Caramel Ice Cream.

This snickerdoodle ice cream is bursting with flavor from the cinnamon and maple syrup + it has a scrumptious caramel throughout.

Have you ever checked the ingredient list on store bought ice cream? Seems to me there are a lot of unnecessary ingredients in it.

Store bought ice cream is also usually really expensive. This homemade ice cream recipe is super easy to make yourself.

I used full fat canned coconut milk to make this ice cream recipe. It’s very important to use the full fat coconut milk to get that rich flavor that traditional ice cream has.

You can use almond or cashew milk, but keep in mind that the end product will be slightly icy in texture. If you are okay with that, feel free to use any milk you like.

I don’t know about you, but I am just so excited that the warm weather is here. I absolutely love salads for many reasons. They are easy, healthy and convenient. Did you know April 23rd is National Picnic Day? Nothing says picnic better than a healthy salad full of fresh ingredients. If you are looking for healthy salad dressing recipes, check out this post.

I was thrilled when Sprouts contacted me because it’s literally my most favorite place to shop EVER. I go there so much that the employees know me and ask how my girls are doing.

Homemade Ding Dongs

3 words for you. Homemade Ding Dongs. The other day in my Facebook group, a member posted a pic of some store bought Ding Dongs from Whole Foods. She asked if I could make a homemade version and I gladly accepted the challenge! I love the challenge of making copycat recipes. Just try my Gluten Free Samoas or my Grain Free Twix Bars for yourself. Unlike the store bought one, my version is free of refined sugar, gluten, eggs and dairy!

I got a little over-zealous and took the photograph before I added the chocolate coating. I will definitely make sure to add those instructions in the recipe though. I hope you enjoy these Homemade Ding Dongs as much as we did! The recipe is a little involved, but totally worth it.

Chocolate Rice Crispy Squares

Chocolate Rice Crispy Squares. Rice crispy treats are one of those iconic recipes from childhood. Well, I just gave them a major upgrade with these easy Chocolate Rice Crispy Squares.

I love this recipe because it only contains simple ingredients. It also only takes a few minutes to prepare.

If you love chocolate, you may also want to try my fudgy flourless brownies and my chocolate coffee cheesecake.

These delicious chocolate bars are vegan and gluten free. They can easily be made nut free by using sunflower butter in place of the cashew butter.

I used brown rice cereal in this recipe. Only ingredient is brown puffed rice. You should be able to find it at any health food store. I have also seen it at Target on occasion.

My husband Marcus loves Mexican food. This past weekend, we had some black beans we needed to use up, so he decided they would be perfect in this Easy Black Bean Mexican Quinoa. We always try to add beans to our meals. They are a fabulous source of protein and fiber.

Did you know that the UN declared 2016 to be the International Year of the Pulses? Beans fall under the category “pulses.” Other pulses include: chickpeas, peas and lentils. Pulses are so great for many reasons. Reasons to consider eating more pulses:
