Dairy Free “Thin Mint” Cookie Ice Cream

Dairy Free Thin Mint Cookie Ice Cream || Homemade Dutch Apple PieBoth of my children LOVE mint ice cream.  We make it quite often. Recently when making a batch I wanted to spruce it up a bit.

I thought about adding some cocoa (who doesn’t love mint and chocolate together?). That reminded me of Thin Mint Girl Scout cookies. Inspired by this classic cookie I came up with my dairy free” Thin Mint” Cookie ice cream.

This ice cream is filled with mint and chocolate flavor. Plus you get the crunchy chocolate cookie taste as well.

“Thin Mint” Cookie ice cream is a treat just about anyone can enjoy. You can replace the coconut milk with cream if you tolerate dairy.

Scoop yourself a big bowl of “Thin Mint” Cookie ice cream, add a little chocolate sauce and enjoy. What a great way to celebrate the start of the school year. Remember, summer isn’t over quite yet!

Gluten Free Brownie Mix

Gluten Free Brownie Mix - Homemade Dutch Apple Pie

I love to bake. But I don’t always have time to do all of the measuring and mixing…especially when it comes to gluten free baking. It takes extra time to measure four types of flour instead of one.

You could solve that problem by buying a mix. But that means you’re going to get extra ingredients in your baked goods  that you don’t want.

My solution? A homemade mix. Brownies are one of my favorite baked goods. So I made a brownie mix for days when I have very little time in the kitchen.

Find a day when you have some time and mix up all of the dry ingredients for your brownies. You can make a double, triple or quadruple batch so making brownies is easy any time.

Store the mix in the freezer. It will stay fresh, and you can use it straight out of the freezer.

A homemade brownie mix is also a wonderful gift for Christmas or for a new mom.

Even if you are busy you can have homemade brownies. This gluten free brownie mix is simple to assemble. Then getting a pan of brownies in the oven only takes minutes. 

These brownies can also be made dairy and egg free. It’s a great treat for just about anyone. And now you can have it just about any time.

Dry Mix
  1. 2 cups any combination of gluten free flours (a 1:1 ratio of whole grain to white works best)

  3. 1 tsp. baking soda
  4. 1/2 tsp. sea salt
Brownies
  1. Dry mix
  2. 1/4 cup water
  3. 3 eggs
  4. 1/3 cup coconut oil or butter, melted
  5. 1/2 cup honey
  6. 1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Dry Mix
  1. In a medium bowl combine all of the dry mix ingredients.
  2. Pour the mix into a storage container and seal (I like to use glass jars).
  3. Store the mix in the cupboard, refrigerator or freezer (depending on how long you want to store it).
Brownies
  1. When ready to bake, heat the oven to 350*F. Grease an 8" or 9" baking pan.

  4. Bake for 25 - 30 minutes, until baked through.
  5. Allow to cool. Cut into squares.

Notes
  1. Sorghum, amaranth, brown rice and teff work well as whole grain flours.
  2. White rice and tapioca work well as white flours.
  3. To make these brownies egg free omit the eggs and add an extra 1/4 cup honey and 2 Tbsp. coconut oil or butter.

Zucchini Cake With Two Frostings (gluten free, dairy free)

Zucchini Cake With Two Frostings: gluten free dairy free || Homemade Dutch Apple PieSchool is starting. Fall is coming. But don’t think it’s too late for another zucchini treat!

We get quite a bit of zucchini from our garden every summer. So I’m always trying to find new ways to use it.

This year I created a gluten free dairy free zucchini cake. To make it extra special I came up with two kinds of frosting. One is a cream cheese icing. The other is a dairy free cinnamon sugar buttercream.

Both frostings are equally delicious. I like the tang and lightness of the cream cheese icing. My kids really liked the cinnamon sugar frosting.

One of the best parts about this cake is that it’s packed with two cups of zucchini. It’s also very allergen-friendly and refined sugar free.

Zucchini cake works well as a breakfast (like coffee cake) or as a dessert. We even ate some for dinner with soup. It’s good no matter how you serve it.

Kick off the school year with a special treat that is also very healthy.  Zucchini cake is the perfect fit.

The BEST Chocolate Ice Cream

This chocolate ice cream is rich and creamy, with no artificial flavors or fillers. A combination of cocoa and carob creates a deep unbeatable chocolate flavor.The BEST Chocolate Ice Cream - Homemade Dutch Apple Pie

It’s no secret that I LOVE ice cream.

I think my daughter is following in my footsteps. We could both eat it every day…and often do!  Especially when we  have delicious homemade ice cream using our fresh, raw cream.

I usually let my daughter choose the ice cream flavor of the week. Recently she chose chocolate.

It’s simple. But it is SO GOOD. Everywhere we go my daughter tells people that our homemade ice cream is the best.

She’s right. It is the best. It tastes the best, and it is the best for our bodies.The BEST Chocolate Ice Cream - Homemade Dutch Apple Pie 2

It can be hard to achieve the rich flavor of a good chocolate ice cream without anything artificial added.  But I have.

This is the BEST chocolate ice cream you’ll ever have.

I promise.

I think we’ll be making this flavor very frequently.

Do you love chocolate ice cream? Then this is for you!

Are you dairy free? No problem. This can be made with cream or with coconut milk. Either way it is divine.

There are so many ways to use blueberries whether they are fresh or frozen. I like to use them for pie, ice cream and muffins.

Sweet Cherry Coconut Milk Ice Cream

Sweet Cherry Coconut Milk Ice Cream - Homemade Dutch Apple Pie

Summer isn’t complete without at least one cherry treat. Coconut milk blends perfectly with sweet cherries for a delicious dessert.

This ice cream is perfect for those with allergies. Sweet cherry coconut milk ice cream is naturally dairy, nut, egg, gluten, corn and soy free.

Even if you don’t have to be dairy free this ice cream is wonderful.  Both of my kids LOVE it. It’s not too heavy and not too sweet. Just a perfect balance.

Not sure what to do with your sweet cherries? Make ice cream! Have you already frozen  your cherries? No problem. Frozen works just as well as fresh to make ice cream. So you can enjoy a summery treat all year long.

Classic Vanilla Ice Cream

Classic Vanilla Ice Cream I LOVE ice cream! I make it almost weekly during the summer. I usually try to create unique and fun flavors.

But there really isn’t anything better than the classic vanilla ice cream.

I love to top mine with gluten free hot fudge or dairy free chocolate sauce. A little sprinkle of sea salt really adds to the flavor as well.

Vanilla ice cream goes well with just about anything. Serve it with pie, on brownies or make a sundae.

It is also very easy to make. Add all of the ingredients to a blender. Mix. Process. It’s really that simple.

Through my years of ice cream experimentation I have perfected the classic vanilla ice cream flavor. Now I’m sharing it with you!

The next time you want a refreshing summer dessert, go with a classic – pure, simple vanilla ice cream. It’s delicious and nutritious.

Gluten Free Dairy Free Double Strawberry Shortcake

Gluten Free Dairy Free Double Strawberry ShortcakeWhat’s summer without strawberry shortcake? If you are gluten and dairy free you don’t have to go without!

This shortcake has double the berries – both in and on the cake!  Strawberry puree adds just enough moisture to the cake. Sweetened strawberries on top add a burst of flavor.

Double strawberry shortcake is a great baking project for kids. My three-year old loved helping. He especially liked to mash the berries for the topping. 

For an extra treat, add vanilla ice cream on top of the cake before adding the sweetened strawberries.Gluten Free Dairy Free Double Strawberry Shortcake Collage

If you don’t have any fresh strawberries left you can simply defrost frozen berries. So you can make this treat year round.

My kids definitely approved of double strawberry shortcake. I hope you do too.

Dairy Free Egg Free Creamy Butterscotch Pudding

df ef butterscotch pudding

Homemade pudding is such a tasty treat! But typical pudding is made with milk and eggs. That eliminates pudding for many people with allergies.

I recently made a dairy free chocolate pudding for my son. It was a huge hit. But over the last few weeks I’ve been wondering if eggs are bothering him again. I didn’t want to take away his special treat.

So I experimented with a new pudding that is also egg free.

This butterscotch pudding is creamy and delicious! It is so “buttery” that I almost called it caramel pudding. It is also very healthy with its gut-healing gelatin.

My son likes to eat it with crushed graham crackers mixed in. It’s like his own little pudding trifle.

I just love that it’s safe for him to eat, easy to make and filled with good stuff.

Are you looking for an easy treat that is dairy, egg, nut and gluten free? This is it! It only takes about ten minutes to make so you can have it in no time.
