Spumoni Ice Cream Pie

January 2, 2018 by ohyagood 1 Comment

Pistachios+cherries+chocolate in pie form=AMAZING! The Italian restaurant I worked at during my college days used to serve spumoni ice cream. It was one of my favorite desserts they offered because of the sweet saltiness. To make this dairy free, you’ll need to run to the store for some specific products like Coconut Bliss Cherry Ice Cream, So Delicious Coconut Whip Cream (or homemade), Santa Cruz Chocolate Syrup and some Enjoy Life Mini Chocolate Chips. It’s definitely worth it!

Dairy Free Ice Cream Cake

July 14, 2017 by ohyagood 1 Comment

I have fond summertime memories eating my Mom’s Oreo Dirt Dessert as a kid. It was the answer to any summer special occasion and super simple to make. It’s been on my list of many desserts to try to make dairy and gluten free and all I can think is why on earth did I wait so long! The girls were even able to “help” me make it for their Daddy’s birthday so very kid-friendly. The biggest challenge is finding the special ingredients which did require two trips to two different grocery stores. You could also try making it with different cookies besides oreos or in this case fake oreos.

Recipe type: dessert
Cuisine: American
Serves: 10-12
Ingredients
  • 2 packages of Mi-Del Dairy and Gluten free "Oreos"
  • 2 pints of vanilla ice cream, I used So Delicious Cashew Very Vanilla Ice Cream, softened
  • ¼ cup (or more) chocolate fudge
  • 1 container of So Delicious Coconut Whip Cream, thawed, or your own
  • Magic Shell drizzle (I made my own with ¾ cup Enjoy Life Chocolate chips and 1 Tbsp coconut oil, melted together)
Instructions
  1. Place all the cookies in a plastic zip lock and crush with a rolling pin. Use all but 1 cup and loosely press to the bottom of an 8x8 pan.
  2. Spread the softened ice cream carefully over the cookie crumble.
  3. Squirt the fudge as evenly as you'd like over the ice cream. I was pretty liberal with mine. Place in the freezer for about 10 minutes to harden a bit.
  4. Spread the thawed whip cream over the fudge
  5. Top with the remaining cup of cookie crumble and drizzle with magic shell

Breakfast Cookies

September 1, 2016 by ohyagood 1 Comment

Breakfast_CookiesSummer is not over in my book. It’s not until the air is crisp and you smell that smell. Ya know, that fall smell. So I’ll just be over here in my little denial cave and continue to fill my blog with “summer-like” recipes. After all, I’ve taken MOST of the summer off from posting. Seeerrry ’bout that!

I made these AMAZING cookies this past weekend while a friend was visiting and between us, my two girls and my husband they disappeared in a matter of hours. The recipe makes TWO dozen! Get it. You have to make these. They aren’t just for breakfast either. They are just healthy enough that you certainly CAN have them for breakfast and still feel good about that decision. What other cookie has 3g of protein per serving?

Sorta Healthy Cookie Dough

February 11, 2016 by ohyagood Leave a Comment

Sorta_Healthy_Cookie_DoughIs it just a coincidence Valentine’s Day, the day of sweets and chocolate, lands in the middle of February when most of the New Year’s resolutions have gone by the wayside and the weather is craptastic? Probably not. I know I’ve been feeling the urge. The urge to bulk up and give into cravings. Which brings me to my next point…

Chocolate chip cookies are my weakness, or strength depending on how you look at it. I love making them just about as much as I like eating them. It’s the one thing I’ve cheated since going gluten free. However, gluten-free flours just don’t do it for me so that led me to the dough. Cookie dough makes me feel like a kid. Although it’s not the same as a warm cookie, it does satisfy a good craving. This recipe could probably use a little more tinkering but myself and my kids were quite happy with the results. Desperation? Perhaps. Either way, I think it’s worth sharing.

Coconut Bars

September 26, 2015 by ohyagood Leave a Comment

coconutbars

I am most certainly a human with very human needs. Chocolate is one of those very human needs. After finding out I was lactose intolerant many moons ago, I was forced to get creative with baked goods and sweets. And while I may have gone over board from time to time (I have Isa Chandra’s Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar to thank for that), I think I’ve finally maintained a healthy amount of indulgences.

I’ve been following pretendhealthfreak’s drool-worthy Instagram for a few months and came upon her recipe for Bountylicious Slice. This coconut bar recipe derives from hers. Mine is VERY similar because her’s is that good, but I did make some alterations.
