The ice cream man – when you were a kid you could hear him coming from a mile away. Slowly cruising around the neighborhood in his boxy little truck, doling out frozen treats to the kids who were lucky enough to snag a buck from their parents. It was truly the highlight of any summer day. Creamsicles, Drumsticks, Snow Cones, Push-Up Pops, Fudgsicles – everyone had their favorite frozen treats. I remember licking and slurping my dessert as fast as I could before the sun melted it into a sticky, sugary mess.
Those were the days, weren’t they? Unfortunately, you won’t find anything on an ice cream truck that aligns with your vegan meal plan. However, we wrangled up a few recipes for frozen vegan desserts that are a million times better. In fact, these are so yummy (and healthy) that you won’t even miss the super-processed and dairy-heavy treats of your childhood.
