I scream, you scream, we all scream for nice cream! When you go "nice," you never go back. It doesn't matter if you're not a full-time vegan-this will become your go-to dessert for every day of the week. With just five ingredients, it couldn't be any easier. Scoop it, spoon it, and love it up.

INGREDIENTS

- 2 (14-ounce) cans unsweetened full-fat coconut milk
- 4 cups sliced fresh or frozen strawberries

Marbled Tahini Fudge Bars

Can I be honest? These are my absolute favorite fudge bars ever. If that sounds egocentric, I'm sorry (#notsorry). Just try them, you'll see what I mean. The tahini/fudge combo is, well, very enticing!

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 cup tahini (sesame paste)
  • cup raw coconut oil, room temperature
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

DIRECTIONS:

1) In a medium bowl, whisk together the tahini and coconut oil until smooth. Add the maple syrup, salt, and vanilla and stir until creamy. Divide the mixture evenly between two small bowls. Whisk the cocoa powder into one bowl.
2) Pour the batter without cocoa powder into an 8-inch baking dish. Dollop the cocoa powder portion on top and use a toothpick or the back of a spoon to swirl the two together and create marble effect (do not stir until combined-the swirls should be distinct). Refrigerate in a sealed container for at least...
