ICE CREAM SUNDAES!

 

 

You're in for a treat! If you've been longing for an ice cream sundae, but you're lactose intolerant, then this is for you! First, use a lactose free vanilla or coconut ice cream (my favorite is So Delicious dairy free coconut milk vanilla bean flavor). It's amazing! Anyway that's a great start! But, of course, you can use any flavor you want.....mint chocolate chip, black cherry, pomegranate...the possibilities are endless. Just make sure to change up the toppings accordingly.

Next, for toppings. You have to be careful here. First things to AVOID: any milk based toppings, whipped cream, caramel sauce, hot fudge, etc. You CAN USE maraschino cherries, pineapples, PLAIN crushed nuts, Hershey's chocolate syrup, candies, sprinkles (as long as they're lactose free), etc.

To make the crushed nuts: buy PLAIN nuts (no honey roasted here or chocolate covered). Then put some in a ziplock bag and set on a surface you can't damage (such as a book or an old table).  Take a butter knife and using the solid handle, break up the nuts in the bag. You can store these for a while in an airtight bag. You can use peanuts, cashews, almonds, pistachios...whatever you'd like for this!

I hope this causes you to think up of some new varieties for ice cream sundaes. And for those of you who haven't had a lactose free ice cream sundae in a while, ENJOY!
