The key to the world’s best ice cream lies in the ingredients — full-fat creams, high-quality chocolates and rich, creamy butter and sugar. But what about the people who can’t digest those high-fat creams or rich butters? I’ll tell you: You serve them one of these vegan ice creams instead. Full of flavor and very void of all dairy.
Thanks to the addition of coconut milk (which tastes way better than regular milk, in my book), avocados, chocolate and peanut butter, you won’t even miss the regular creams. In fact, you’ll forget these desserts are even vegan. At least I did after 2 (or 5) cups of each one this week.
