Vegan Coconut Crunch Ice Cream

By

It’s no secret that ice cream is the ultimate dessert to enjoy on a hot summer day. When I was a kid, and through high school, my parents and I would travel to Sanibel Island, Florida every spring break to meet up with my dad’s family.

If I had more time and skill, my first … [Read more...]

I was perusing the candy isle when I noticed a bag of chocolate Easter eggs filled with coconut cream. They sounded scrumptious. I was about to purchase a bag until I looked at the ingredient list. The only ingredient with the word coconut in it was coconut flavoring. Umm, no thank you! I refuse to buy chocolates that claim they are filled with … [Read more...]
