Vegan Desert Ideas For Easter

Frozen “Good Humor” Strawberry Shortcake

Mention the "Good Humor" Strawberry Shortcake bars from our childhood, and many of us will still swoon. Sweet, creamy ice cream, punctuated with the taste of tart strawberries, and covered in a tender strawberry shortcake coating–it seemed like the stuff of dreams were made of. Inspired by these flavors and the conviction that vegans can have it all, I set about making a dessert that was reminiscent of this nostalgic treat but without the dairy.

The bottom layer is a tender, moist vanilla cake. It’s covered with a quick and creamy ice cream made from cashews, strawberries, and coconut milk and then topped with a magical coating made from cookies and freeze-dried strawberries. Swap out the cashew-based filling with store-bought, nut-free vanilla or strawberry ice cream, if you like. A little decadent but utterly scrumptious and worth every bite, this vegan treat will delight everyone this summer.
