Coconut Milk Mocha Almond Fudge Ice Cream

Um....Let's just say I have not been this excited in the frozen section of the grocery store in a LONG time.

I am completely in love with So Delicious' line of Coconut-Milk Based non-dairy foods. Not just the vegan ice cream, but the yogurts as well.

I mean, my name is The Saucy Coconut! I LOVE coconut flavors. I'm also a HUGE fan of coffee and coffee flavored things, so this item REALLY made my day. VERY good. Almost all of their coconut milk based items are soy free, too, so it's a nice alternative for soy-based vegan treats.

Speaking of which, I also discovered that they now have a variety of coconut milk frozen novelties, such as this one:



Little vegan ice cream sandwiches. These are not soy-free as there is some soy lecithin in the chocolate wafers. VERY tasty. I really want to try the other flavors. I also saw a chocolate nut covered coconut milk based frozen novelty, which looked fantastic. yum yum yum.

Root Beer Float

I felt really indulgent so I went out and got some root beer and a pint of Tofutti Vanilla Ice Cream. YUMMY.

I have not had a root beer float in YEARS, and this really hit the spot. Also, I had never tried Tofutti Vanilla Ice Cream. I must say it's probably the best plain vanilla vegan ice cream I've ever tried. The only disappointment I had was I didn't have a straw to drink it out of! Not one single straw in my house! It was still fantastic, though.

Pizza! Sausage Pizza with Follow Your Heart Mozzarella

Here's a pizza I made back in September, but never had the chance to upload the photos. Well, here they are. These are vague directions because I can't quite remember what I did over two months ago.

The crust is premade from Whole Foods. Then I spread straight tomato paste all over the crust, and tossed it in the oven to crisp up a bit. At the same time, I cooked frozen vegan meatballs in a pan on the stovetop, smashing and crumbling until they resembled ground beef. Then I seasoned the heck out of them: fennel seeds, oregano, garlic salt, and some other Italian seasonings.

Once the crust in the oven was slightly crisped, but not fully cooked, I pulled it out. I formed the meatball crumbles into tiny sausage balls and placed them on the pizza like any sausage pizza would look.

Then came the cheese -- Follow Your Heart Mozzarella. I shredded the entire block of cheese which was WAY too much. I spread it across the pizza, then popped it back in the oven. After about twenty minutes, I put the pizza under the broiler and watched it VERY carefully. After lots of bubbling and even a little browning of the cheese it was done!!!! I quickly sliced it up and ate it!
