1. No Churn Strawberry Rhubarb Ice Cream

Strawberry rhubarb is a magical summer combo! Why not try them in ice cream form? This No Churn Strawberry Rhubarb Ice Cream by Mitra Shirmohammadi has a deliciously rich and creamy consistency from soaked cashews and coconut milk. Stay away from light coconut milk and go for full-fat for best results. It’s also sweetened with dates, which is great for sweetening ice cream because it helps achieve a creamy texture when frozen. As a general rule, it’s best to avoid liquid sweeteners in ice cream since they tend to make your frozen treats icier rather than creamy. This no churn strawberry rhubarb is dairy-free, vegan, naturally gluten-free, and free from refined sugar. Don’t let summer go by without trying this delicious treat!

2. Cardamom, Rosewater and Sweet Cherry Lassi
