lately, i have found myself craving sweets. normally, fruit would shake these cravings, but for some reason, this just has not been the case. last night, i stumbled upon a "three-ingredient vegan ice cream" on peta's website - i was curious. here is what i ended up with:
ashley's take on vegan ice cream
1 ripe banana
1 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tbsp all natural peanut butter
splash of vanilla rice milk
handful of almonds
peel the banana, and place it in the freezer - it should be completely frozen. combine the first four (all but the almonds) ingredients in the blender. then, pulse on high until a creamy texture is achieved. the peta version does not call for rice milk, but mine would not come together for the life of me, so i added it out of necessity. top with fruit, coconut or nuts, and enjoy. i found this as satisfying as a bowl of ice cream - which i would not lie about, i loved ice cream.
ashley's sweet hummus
1/2 can chick peas (garbanzo)
1 tbsp brown or raw sugar
1 tsp all natural peanut butter
2 tbsp coconut
splash of vanilla rice milk
handful of carob chips
place the first four ingredients in the blender, and pulse until a dry doughy texture is achieved. add rice milk, until it just comes together. fold in carob chips, and enjoy with animal crackers or other substantial "dippers." i imagine this would even be good with apples.
