Olive Oil Ice Cream

Since olive oil is the star ingredient and flavor in this ice cream, it’s important to know if your oil is still good to use. Factors like heat and light can make olive oil turn rancid, so the best way to check is by the smell. Good olive oil will have a clean, bright, pleasant aroma with grassy or fruity notes. If your oil smells off or has an odor of crayons, paint or rancid nuts, it should be discarded.

Vegan Apple Crumble

To ensure they cook evenly, slice the apples as uniformly as possible; about a quarter-inch thickness is ideal. We call for peeled apples to give the fruit a softer consistency once cooked.

Desserts

Avocado Ice Cream

If you have a few picky eaters in your house but you love avocado ice cream (and want to serve up a good dose of quality, healthy fats) you can add cocoa powder and maple syrup to the blender. The combination will not only mask the color of the avocados, but it will add a richer, more chocolatey-sweet flavor that’ll keep picky eaters from the know.

Apricot Mud Hen Cake Bars

Desserts

Strawberry Lemon Trifle

Decorate the strawberry lemon trifle with whipped cream, more strawberries, fresh or dehydrated lemon slices, and sprigs of mint for an extra pop of color. If you don’t want to decorate the top, don’t stress! You’ll be able to see all the beautiful trifle layers in the glass dish, and the taste will more than make up for an undecorated top.
