When I found out about a vegan blogging conference in Portland, I was bouncing off the walls. When I discovered that it was sold out, I stopped bouncing. But alas! There's still hope! The generous people at
Coconut Bliss are holding a contest for a golden ticket to
Vida Vegan Con! There is also a song contest, which sounds like a lot of fun, but ya'll don't wanna hear me sing! After weeks of racking my brain, I had a brilliant idea. Why not just combine my two favorite desserts in the whole wide world? Ice cream and cashew cheesecake!!! Holy coconuts did this one turn out to be a winner. Hopefully the attractive, talented, successful, wonderful, generous, kind, fantastic and amazing staff at coconut bliss will think so too ;) Whatever happens, I came out a winner in three ways: I found my new favorite brand of ice cream (seriously, this stuff almost didn't make it from the grocery bag to the freezer), I now know what Michael's birthday cake will be, and I had a blast with this recipe. On a very serious note, Luna and Larry know how to make some kick-ass creamy ice cream.
