If you are a follower of The Veg Life!, you will know that I am a HUGE fan of the SO Delicious Dairy Free product line. So when I was asked to review their Oregon Mixed Berry and Simply Strawberry Coconut Milk Frozen Desserts, I wanted to do so in the form of a recipe. Sure, there is no question that they are amazing on their own so I urge you to go try them! I just like to get creative and here is what I came up with 🙂
This So Delicious Dairy Free Ice Cream Dessert masterpiece couldn’t be any simpler to make and offers three scrumptious layers of deliciousness! A graham cracker crust, a layer of the Oregon Mixed Berry Ice Cream topped with a frozen yogurt mixture. You’ll see later how we incorporated yet another SO Delicious product to make this layer. So let’s get started, shall we?
I chose the Oregon Mixed Berry Coconut Milk Ice Cream and the reason we are starting with this ingredient is that you will need to take it out of the refrigerator to soften slightly. Something a little bit like soft serve consistency.
This crust is my new favorite graham cracker crust. Why, you ask? Because I wanted a sweet and salty combination, so I added pretzels. Oh. My. Gosh. YUM! I used a food processor, adding sugar and of course, to bring it all together, a bit of melted vegan margarine. You could also use coconut oil.
I find that with frozen desserts, the pan of choice is always a springform. It just releases so easily. I give it a light coating of cooking spray for a little added insurance. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom to form the first layer and place into the freezer to firm up for 30 minutes. By this time, your ice cream should be pretty much soft enough to spread onto the graham cracker layer. Return to the freezer for 30 minutes.
And now onto the frozen yogurt layer. If you don’t have (or can’t find) any of these ingredients, you can definitely modify the recipe. We used vegan cream cheese, powdered sugar, Jello brand instant vanilla pudding (it’s vegan-friendly), vegan vanilla yogurt and SO Delicious Coco Whip!
Spread the yogurt layer onto the ice cream layer and freeze for several hours before releasing from the springform pan. Allow to sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes prior to serving. Top with fresh fruit and enjoy!
