As long as you live in the Northern Hemisphere, you’re probably going to experience some type of warm weather this summer. We all know that warm weather equals the perfect opportunity to treat yourself to a delicious frozen treat. Whether you’re a dairy lover, lactose intolerant, or a complete vegan, these are 15 frozen vegan desserts you need to make this summer.
Most of these recipes happen to be a little bit healthier for you than your regular dairy filled treat, but whether or not that’s important to you, they all taste equally delicious. (OK, so the ones with chocolate may be a little bit better in my opinion, but what can I say? I’m a chocoholic.)
