4-Ingredient No-Churn Vegan Tahini Chocolate Ice Cream (Gluten-Free, Paleo)

August 1, 2018 by Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine 36 Comments

The easiest, creamiest, decadent and healthy dessert recipe you can make! This 4-Ingredient No-Churn Vegan Tahini Chocolate Ice Cream is gluten-free, paleo, top 8 allergy-free, and sugar-free! No dairy, no fuss, and no fancy ice cream makers for this frozen delight!

Our ice cream dreams are realized! Tahini, chocolate, in ice cream form? Yes, yes please! When I say ice cream, I’m not talking the quick, throw it in a blender for a soft serve effect kind of “ice cream”, I’m talking scoopable from the freezer kind of ice cream! Yes, that one appliance (or attachment) I do not have is an ice cream maker. BUT, I know I’m not alone and if you don’t have one either, your life is about to get a whole lot cooooler!Read More

A fun way to celebrate any occasion! This colorful Gluten-Free Funfetti Waffle Cake is vegan, top 8 allergy-free, requires minimal ingredients, while still being a dessert (or breakfast) recipe to remember! Whether it’s a birthday or fun milestone, kids and adults this fun and easy creation!

Hip, Hip, Hooray! Do you know what day tomorrow is? It will be Strength and Sunshine’s 5th Birthday! I usually post a Funfetti creation on my own birthday, which was June 6th, but decided to take that day off and just post a fun and colorful recipe that could celebrate both these “birthdays”. So apparently I’m 22 now, but Strength and Sunshine will be 5 years old on June 26th. That’s crazy! I started Strength and Sunshine when I had just turned 17 and ending my junior year of high school, not knowing that I’d still be here, on this platform 5 years later.Read More

Easy, healthy, and delicious! A No-Bake Gluten-Free S’mores Parfait that’s vegan, top 8 allergy-free, and uses homemade ingredients without the junk! A perfect summer dessert recipe the kids and adults will love (it’s even secretly protein-packed)!

It wouldn’t be summer without ALL the s’mores! From breakfast to dessert, there’s always time for a s’mores recipe! Something like a dessert parfait seemed like a delicious idea. It’s basically a cold and deconstructed campfire s’more! And by campfire, I also mean microwave, but that was last year 😉 This gluten-free s’mores parfait I have for you is going to blow your mind with that fact that 1: it’s super healthy, and 2: it’s protein-packed due to a lovely little legume friend.Read More

Put those ripe strawberries to good use in this healthy, sweet, and delicious quick bread recipe! This Gluten-Free Strawberry Quick Bread is vegan, allergy-free, and perfect for breakfast, brunch, dessert, or as a seasonal snack! It’s spring and summer baking at its finest!

I know it can’t just be me when I say I just LOVE strawberry season! The sweet aroma, beautiful bright color, and perfect blissful bite of a super fresh ripe strawberry is like no other. Strawberry season came early to New Jersey this year. Walking into the grocery stores in April to find $1.99 containers of perfect strawberries…how glorious! Eating strawberries straight from the carton is great, but why don’t we put those beautiful berries to use in another way…Read More
