Hello lovelies,
finally it’s strawberry time again! I hope you’re in the midst of enjoying it. If not, then I have the right recipe for you today: vegan strawberry-coconut ice chocolates. The recipe is based on the strawberry chocolate bars that I really liked in the past (especially straight from the fridge). In my version I used fresh strawberries and coconut milk for the soft ice cream, plus a few spoonfuls of cashew butter from my homemade nut butter recipes, which is what makes the filling so creamy. Covered with a layer of dark chocolate this delicious summer snack is ready!
For another no-bake strawberry treat, whip up my sweet strawberry guacamole with avocado – a creamy dessert dip for warm days.
For another fridge-and-freezer treat, scoop up my frozen yogurt clusters with berries and chocolate – creamy bites the kids devour straight from the freezer.
The ice chocolates are really refreshing and crunchy with a chocolate layer. Needless to say the kids love them very much. If you don't have a suitable mold, you can e.g. also prepare them in ice cube trays, or even as popsicles, of course there will be fewer.
I can also imagine the ice chocolates with other fruits, especially blueberries, which I keep a box of in the fridge anyway for my blueberry granola bars. Try raspberries, blueberries or apricots - you have to mix them a bit or cook a compote.
Have you picked strawberries this season? We love going to the strawberry field, an absolute childhood highlights of mine. Filling your belly with sun-kissed strawberries, a few also made it into the basket and were turned into cake, dessert or jam, and these days the ones that survive the drive home go onto a snack platter with my creamy coconut yogurt dip. The season is really not long, so you should take advantage of it. The strawberries will not taste this good for a long time now! You can find more strawberry recipes here on the blog.
If you are craving more cool summer treats, be sure to try my creamy mango and raspberry ice cream or the fruity orange-coconut ice cream – like these ice chocolates, both come together completely without an ice cream maker. And for a slightly more festive strawberry dessert, I can warmly recommend my strawberry-rhubarb tiramisu.
