Vegan Coconut Fudgesicles (Gluten-Free, Allergy-Free, Paleo)

July 19, 2017 by Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine 91 Comments

A super easy frozen dessert for when you need a healthy chocolate indulgence! Vegan Coconut Fudgesicles that are also gluten-free, top 8 allergy-free, paleo, and even sugar-free! This 4 ingredient recipe can be whipped up in a snap and the only hard part is waiting for them to freeze!

Did you grow-up with some fudgesicles in the freezer? They were something I always remember finding in there (along with the ice cream!) They were so creamy and chocolatly and…well, delicious! Not to mention, full of processed sugars and oils! However, one “low-fat” fudgesicle (the ones we always had) was only 60 calories, but if you went with the “sugar-free” ones, they were 80 calories a pop! The original ones are 100 calories…that’s weird. Sugar-free marketing nonsense!Read More

A sweet and toasty snacking cake for breakfast, brunch, or dessert! This Mango Snack Cake with Toasted Coconut Crumb recipe is whole grain, gluten-free, vegan, and top 8 allergy-free! The fun tropical flavors of mango and coconut result in a delicious baked tropical treat!

Cake and tropical goodness? Yes, please! I know, I know, I’m going to tell you to turn your oven on (now at the end of June), but I promise this mango snack cake is worth it! As you know, I am all about coffee cakes and that delectable crumb topping! I mean, who isn’t? When I spy a baked good with a crumb top, I am SO there! This “crumble” is a bit different though. Nothing classic about it, but more than delicious! Shredded coconut that’s been toasted and then tossed with some coconut milk and Swerve to make it “crumble-approved”!Read More

Sweet, nutty, and earthy, these Lavender Coconut Tigernut Flour Cookies are an alluring and delicious treat to bake! Gluten-free, vegan, paleo, and allergy-free, whether you enjoy them as a snack with afternoon tea or a healthy dessert, this recipe is bound to be a new favorite!

The almighty tigernut flour! I’ve been using tigernut in my baking for awhile now, but it doesn’t seem like those recipes are on the blog yet. Alas, I’m sharing one of my favorite tigernut flour recipes with you today! These grain-free (nut-free, by the way) cookies are one of my elegant little recipe gems I whip out on special occasions. I first made them for Mother’s Day two years ago to give to my momma. I had finally gotten my hands on some culinary lavender at my local health food store and I had a ton of tigernut flour to use.Read More

Celebrate the Spring with a batch of Paleo Strawberry Coconut Thumbprint Cookies that are gluten-free, vegan, and grain-free! A fruity dessert recipe you’ll be baking up beyond the season!

Strawberries! That early spring berry that I started seeing in the stores at the end of February! Was that earlier than usual? I think so. As long as they’re on sale, why pass up the opportunity? It’s funny, but during the spring I always feel the need to bake even more. Yes, it’s starting to get warmer, but all the produce starts to come out in abundance and the fruitiness of what’s to come can be smelled a mile from the grocery.Read More
