Its hot out here in Seattle and my teeth are behaving. Yes, they cannot deal with the amount of chocolate and ice cream I throw at them, so I have to pace some. Luckily for them(unluckily for people) Seattle has been on the cooler side all through summer. But the day it gets warm enough, I throw atleast 2-3 scoops of ice cream at my teeth. They usually do fine with slightly soft, not too cold and less chocolate-y ice creams(bummer, coz this is the year of chocolate for me. Maybe we should have some cencepts of year of chocolate, ice cream , kale or something like that 😉
Serve a good portion of the cake, with a dollop of ice cream, topped with caramel, nut crumbs and cherries.
Or serve scoops of the Ice cream, topped with caramel sauce, nuts and thin slices/logs of the Mocha cake.
Heather is hosting the Vegan Sundae challenge , and today is the last day to submit entries. Crazy right. Last minute, thy name is Richa.
Too hot, too hot! Quick, take pictures before I melt away.
The ice cream is simple. This is a single serve because hubbs is allergic to bananas, so that means I get to eat all of this, ha!
No worries, Hubbs “will” get to eat some with a SoDelicious Mocha almond fudge scoop. Yup, he probably will get home after 9, so I cannot really guarantee the existence of the cake, caramel or the ice cream. There are plenty cherries.
I have never really been too fond of Sundaes. In fact, never ate one till I came to the land of chocolate, brownies, and loads of sugar. Same applies to hubbs, We’d rather eat some Chaat(savory Indian snacks with chutneys) than a brownie.
The story goes that this is the year of Chocolate for me. I have developed a sudden liking for it, which was non existent till last year. hmmm. Last year was the year of the Indian Pickle.
And I love all things cardamom and Chai spice. Hence the play with these flavors, and theme for the Sundae challenge.
Its almost a Brownie Sundae with the dark Mocha cake. I just make the cake so often, that I used that instead of a fudgier brownie.:)
Remind me to make more Frozen treats, so they can have a separate album and recipe section. What are you loving this summer?
Shades of Caramel Sundae. (Ok, I dont know what to call it yet. Leave me a suggestion:)
Ingredients:
Chai spice Ice cream: serving 2 scoops. Fat-Free, Gluten, dairy, egg free
2 ripe bananas, chopped and frozen for an hour
1-2 teaspoon So Delicious coconut creamer or non dairy milk
spices: a generous pinch of Chai spice with an additional dash of black pepper if you will. or spice of your choice
Mocha dark chocolate cake slice:
My Mocha cake recipe made with 85% dark theo chocolate.
Chai spice caramel:
My Chai spice caramel recipe I used for the sweet potato doughnuts here.
Quick Chai spice: 1 teaspoon cardamom powder, a pinch of ginger, cinnamon, black pepper, clove powders.
Toppings:
coarsely chopped almonds/pistachios
fruit of choice like cherries/strawberries
Method:
Chop and freeze ripe bananas for atleast an hour.
Blend with a teaspoon or so of coconut creamer and chai spice(optional) until smooth. Add teaspoon of raw sugar if the banana isn’t sweet and ripe enough. I did not need any.
Return to the freezer for 1-2 hours depending on your freezer.
Till then prep or make your Mocha dark chocolate cake and chai spice caramel.
Take a slice of warm cake, place a scoop of the banana ice cream on the cake.
Drizzle as little or as much of the chai spice caramel.
Top with almond or pistachio crumbs.
Top with a cherry or sliced strawberries. Serve!
Or you can serve large Ice cream scoops, topped with caramel, nuts side small logs of the chocolate cake.
devour.

I stumbled across your blog a couple of days back and have been hooked since! 🙂 I’m a new vegan and was craving something sweet yesterday so I tried this recipe and it was absolutely delicious! I also made the creamy mushroom and peas curry and loved it! Can’t wait to try some more of your recipes 🙂

I like using the So Delicious coconut creamer in my coffee, but never thought to make banana ice cream with it – I love your idea of combining the creamer with chai spices and banana! And I’m not a big fan of chocolate either, but those pictures are definitely making me crave a brownie sundae right now – looks amazing!

Your sundae looks so good! I thought the banana “ice cream” was crazy till I got a high powered blender. Now we love it — I add other flavors too.
