Warm weather calls for fresh desserts am I right? Well, my youngest is allergic to eggs so I am always trying to create treats that are not only vegan, but clean and healthy. I am all about feeding and nourishing our bodies with simple clean ingredients and this is just that.

My favorite flavor bomb is rose, so when I saw that Culina had a strawberry rose vegan yogurt, I knew that would be the new love of my life. What’s a  girl to do when she finds that rich and delicious yogurt? She creates a beautiful dessert. I add a few simple drops of rose water, a few dashes of warm cardamom, and you have a party in your mouth LOL.

This will take you as little as 20 min to whip up, no cooking required. You can make the crust the day before then dress it up before a pool party and people will be very impressed thinking you spent all day creating something special. Little will they know you didn’t even need an oven. Gluten free and vegan and made with love and simple clean ingredients.

Hope you give this a try and tag me in your creations.
