Gather your friends and throw a vegan ice cream sundae party this Sunday! Make it extra special by making your own vegan ice cream—without a fancy shmancy ice cream maker.
Of course you could use that fancy ice cream maker, but it’s much more fun to gather your friends and sandwich-sized re-sealable bags. Once you’ve all made your ice cream, pour magic chocolate sauce on top to see it instantly solidify, plop a scoop of coconut whipped cream on top and a sprinkle of nuts, and enjoy. You can even slice a banana in half, lengthwise, and turn this sundae into a banana split.
