Frozen Fruit "Ice Cream"

This Fruit'cream' is so good you'd think that is was real ice cream. Of course it is, just minus the dairy! That's even better! Now you can have your favorite food guilt-free!

This is all fruit. All you need is any type of frozen fruit and a champion juicer (pictured below). You push the frozen fruit through the juicer and it comes out creamy and good!

For those of you who don't have a champion juicer, this type of fruit "ice cream" is great too!!

Ingredients:

2 bananas, frozen and cut in 1" pieces

1/2 C strawberries, frozen

2 T soymilk

1/2 tsp vanilla

Instructions:

Combine all ingredients in a food processor and whiz until thick and creamy. So yummy right after blended up. It also freezes well. Just let it set out for 10 minutes before you're ready to eat it. :) This was a hit as a Vacation Bible School snack!

Potato Carrot Cheese

Everyone needs to try this recipe. I could sit and dip chips in this cheese at every meal, I think. I like that it has lots of fiber and nutrients. It's a little cheaper than some recipes because the base is made from potatoes and carrots. It is bursting with flavor! Ingredients: 2 C cooked potatoes 1 C cooked carrots 1/2 C nutritional yeast, scant 1/2 C water (use from cooked potatoes and carrots) 1/3 C light olive oil 1 Tbsp lemon juice 2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp chicken-style seasoning 1/4 tsp garlic powder 1/4 tsp onion powder 2 oz pimientos Instructions: Put all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Serve with chips, on broccoli, as macaroni and cheese, on lasagna. This is so very yummy!

Vegan Key Lime Pie

This is one of our very favorite desserts and often gets requested for birthdays. It's simple and so delicious. We even accidentally found out that it is great as frozen key lime pie as well! :) Ingredients: 12 oz firm tofu (water-packed or Mori-nu both work well!) 1 - 8 oz non-dairy cream cheese 1/2 C lime juice 3/4 C cane juice crystals 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 Tbsp honey 2 Tbsp cornstarch 1 graham cracker crust* Instructions: Blend all ingredients in the blender until very smooth. Pour into a saucepan and stir constantly over medium heat until it starts to bubble a little. Pour into a graham cracker crust and chill for at least four hours or overnight. *Use gluten-free crust to make this dessert gluten-free.

Creamy Basil Dressing

This time of year I always have lots and lots of basil growing in the garden. I always make lots of pesto to freeze for the winter, and this year I started looking for a new recipe that I could use my basil in. This recipe is so delightful! It's fresh and tasty. We've used it on burritos and salad so far. It really makes my taste buds happy! Ingredients: 3/4 C water 1/3 C raw cashews 1/3 C olive oil 3 Tbsp nutritional yeast flakes 2 Tbsp lemon juice 8-10 fresh basil leaves 1 clove garlic 1/2 tsp onion powder 1/2 tsp salt Instructions: Place all ingredients into a high-speed blender, and blend until there are no gritty pieces of cashews, and everything is smooth and creamy. Serve chilled.
