Vegan Strawberry Ice Cake


Vegan Strawberry Ice Cake is a wonderful treat for summer, and for anybody who enjoys a big bowl of strawberry ice cream! 

Growing up, I loved eating ice cream cake at birthday parties, and I have always enjoyed fresh strawberries as a healthy and delicious snack. This Strawberry Ice Cake tastes somewhere between a fresh strawberry milkshake and strawberry cheesecake, crossed with ice cream cake… Except dairy-free, and homemade. 



Strawberry Ice Cake is:
Vegan-friendly (This means this recipe is free from all animal products; including dairy, eggs, and honey)
Free from processed sugars
Gluten-free 
Perfect for a summer dessert!
