This Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookie Pizza by Tiina Strandberg is like a gooey-in-the-middle, crispy-on-the-edges cookie. This cookie is perhaps the only one that you won’t mind sharing with others because it is enormous. The secret to the gooeyness of this cookie pizza is a peanut butter layer slathered between two layers of dough before baking that melts when the cookie is baked. You can enjoy this giant cookie either warm, when it is still soft and gooey, or after a few hours or overnight when it has firmed up and is easy to cut into cookie pizza slices.

This Homemade Vitamin C Powder by Larice Feuerstein is a great way to add a burst of citrus to your morning smoothies! The best method in using this powder is to mix a teaspoon into your smoothie, but you could also stir it into water, keeping in mind, of course, that it isn’t going to dissolve. It could also be used for a subtle orange flavor in tea, or sprinkled onto oatmeal.

Shakshouka is a dish that has roots both in the Middle East and North Africa, and it is a fun dish to veganize. The traditional preparation calls for eggs to be poached over tomato broth spiced up with coriander, paprika and other flavors. But who needs the eggs? Not us! Instead, in this Chickpea Shakshouka with Avocados and Fresh Herbs by Wait, That’s Vegan?! by Lisa Dawn Angerame, chickpeas are added right into the sauce, along with extra vegetables, Aleppo pepper and a hit of nutmeg for a flavorful, hearty, protein-packed situation.

6. Crispy Chickpea Waldorf Salad

This 3-Ingredient Cotton Candy Strawberry Ice Cream (Made With Aquafaba!) by Philipp Ertl is very easy and has only three ingredients! No churning required, it will stay light, just take it out of the freezer and enjoy strawberry goodness. The lightness comes from aqua faba (bean water, the same you make vegan meringues with), but don’t worry it won’t taste of beans at all. This is so easy and cheap to do it’s incredible. Normally you would throw away the bean water but now you’re actually using it make something super light and deliciously refreshing. Nothing goes to waste.
