So I'm at my local grocery store- and I see this non-dairy dessert on sale for half price. I couldn't resist. As stated before, my very favorite is coconut based non-dairy desserts. Though after discovering I am allergic to coconuts, I was again in search for a good frozen dessert.
This is a decent frozen dessert. I'd give it 4 stars. Not 5, because it's texture leaves a little to be desired. But the flavor! It's so delicious! I would never call this gelato. (On the container it calls itself "vanilla raw agave gelato.") To me gelato is this extremely decadent and creamy frozen delight. While this is very delicious, it does not fit that description. If this continues to be on sale, I will buy it again. However, at the prices they wish to charge for a raw, organic, soy-free, dairy-free, gluten-free item... It might just have to stay on the shelf.

Desserts: Blueberry-Lemon filled and iced Lemon cake
So yesterday we had a New York style Pizza Party with my husband at the oven. (No photos cause everything went before I could!) Even w/out cheese the pizzas were delicious!
Well, before the pizzas were made, I wanted to make a Strawberry-filled Lemon cake. I did not how to approach it- but I looked in my fridge, saw lots of strawberry jam and thought to myself... Maybe that could work. Before I made the cake, I looked up recipes and came across this one: http://find.myrecipes.com/recipes/recipefinder.dyn?action=displayRecipe&recipe_id=10000000642292
One problem, I don't have strawberries! I do however have a ton of blueberries in my freezer... So off I was on my little experiment- what could happen? It turn out wrong and I have to go with traditional frosting? I didn't get any pictures but the flavors of lemon-blueberry filling in and on lemon cake were a hit! Everyone liked it.
If I would change anything, I would try to figure out how to get more moisture into the filling. It ended up being more of a consistency of a jam. But it was so good! We had enough to fill the middle, top and sides.
Happy eating everyone!
