    Vegan Vanilla Coconut Ice Cream with Kiwi and Almonds | Vegan Richa

    Its Wednesday! and the day to bring to you another one of my favorite bloggers. If you are looking for a the cutest person on the planet, look no further.. I bring you Caitlin – The Vegan Chickpea. Caitlin has the sweetest stories on her posts, clean, healthy and delicious food that is simple and accessible. Caitlin and her husband both eat a vegan and gluten-free diet and through her blog you can follow their journey and see that they dont miss anything. I mean look at all those delicious Icecream(PB and chocolate) Cakes(Vanilla choc chip), those Cupcakes(Blueberry Chocolate) and the burrito casserole! Also, read about how she cured herself and her husband with food here.

    And today Caitlin brings another fantastic Ice cream.. Vanilla Ice cream filled with fresh Kiwi, toasted almonds and shredded coconut.. mmmm..


    Thank you for the guest post Caitlin!

    You can also find Caitlin on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.

    … Now over to Caitlin….



    My husband Dayv’s family is really into giving food-type presents for birthdays and holidays. When we first started dating(10 years ago), he would often receive cookies and creamed corn(yes, you read that right) on such occasions. Well, times and diets have changed, and now he receives food such as Dandies, gluten-free cookie mix, and black bean spaghetti on special occasions.

    About a month ago, my in-laws and younger sisters-in-law came over to celebrate Dayv’s birthday. As always, my mother-in-law came bearing birthday present food. This time, it was a giant bag of kiwis. We both thanked them for the thoughtfulness of the gift, as one of Dayv’s favorite fruits has always been kiwis. In the back of my mind I thought, How are we going to consume all of these?


    After a little brainstorming, I realized that kiwi would make a nice addition to the homemade ice cream I make every week. Adding toasted coconut and almonds, the ice cream came out lightly sweet with warm, comforting flavors. It’s the perfect dessert to use up all of those leftover kiwis from the winter season!


    Happy first day of spring, everyone! And a big thank you to Richa for having me.Heart

      I never in a million years would’ve thought to put kiwi in ice cream. When I have a kiwi overflow, they just end up in smoothies or salads. Ice cream is even better, though!

      And that Caitlin- her ice cream recipes are the main reason I plan on buying an ice cream maker when the weather warms up! 🙂

      Now that’s a unique ice cream flavor! I do have a coconut-kiwi pie going into my upcoming book, so I can easily imagine it though. Sounds like a winner!
