Vegan Strawberry Shortcake

The begining of summer means many things: warm weather, longer days, gardens, running through sprinklers, and more. But one of my favorite things about the start of summer is strawberry season! And it isn’t really summer until you’ve made STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE, am I right?!

If you thought that being plant based meant you had to miss out on something this delicious, think again. This vegan strawberry shortcake is everything you’ve ever wanted it to be: Fluffy, buttery shortcake, juicy red berries, and clouds of smooth whipped topping. (Are you drooling yet?) Let’s do this!…

Aquafaba Whipped Topping

Move over whipped cream, there’s someone new in town. Friends, allow me to introduce you to aquafaba. 😀

What is aquafaba, you might ask? It’s really just a fancy word for chickpea juice… Not exactly appealing. But truth be told, it’s amazing! It’s easy, cheap, has a neutral flavor (ie doesn’t taste like beans), and makes stiff peaks that are swoon worthy. And since it’s free of the 8 major food allergens, it’s safe for virtually everyone around your table!…

Vegan Banana Cream Pie

Happy Friday, friends! March 2nd was supposedly National Banana Cream Pie Day (who knew there was such a thing?). I’m joining in on the festivities (better late than never!) with a vegan twist on this classic dessert!

This vegan banana cream pie is started off with a crunchy graham cracker crust (the best beginning to any chilled pie, in my opinion). The filling is made from a super-easy vanilla pudding, and fluffy coconut whipped topping. Add more coconut whipped topping and some fresh bananas on top, and *Woah*… I bet you’ll be coming back for another slice. 😉 Or, you could be like my husband, and eat 3 slices for breakfast. Win-win….
