This Raspberry Ice Cream Cake with Brownie Crust is dairy-free and made with full-fat coconut milk and raspberries. It’s truly the ultimate, good-for-you dessert and perfect for Valentine’s Day!
What makes your heart beat a little faster? Is it a kiss from your sweetie? A night all to yourself? A vacation sunrise? A warm bubble bath? The sound of dinner cooking on the stove? The promise of dessert after a not-so-sweet day? If you’re like me, all of the above makes your heart race with happiness. Particularly when it comes to the last one — dessert.
If you know me well you know I have an insatiable sweet tooth. I’ve tamed it to a point where I stick to mostly naturally sweetened desserts and dark chocolate, but Lord knows I can’t go a day without either.
I have a saying, “life’s too short to be rude,” and I also believe life’s too short not to enjoy dessert, especially if it’s made with wholesome ingredients, like this Raspberry Ice Cream Cake. I’m not going to lie … I was a little nervous about how this was going to turn out. I’ve never made an ice cream cake before, let alone a dairy-free ice cream cake. But I challenged myself to make this along with Monday’s Beet Pesto Heart Pizza for Valentine’s Day this year, and I’m so glad I did.
My favorite part about this cake is by far the brownie crust. As if you needed another reason to enjoy brownies … imagine enjoying them with a pile of coconut raspberry goodness sitting on top. I know, I’m drooling too. 🙂Read More
