Best Vegan Love Shakes

Best Vegan Love Shakes 

We usually don’t do an enormous thing of Valentine’s Day so I’m unsure what happened here. Maybe it had been because we recently got married or because Elsa has been drawing and folding Valentine gifts (for us!) for the past week. Perhaps it had been because Noah slowly has been starting his kindergarten training so we are finally getting a couple of moments together again with none kids around. Or was it perhaps just because we've always secretly been dreaming of making an enormous American-style frozen dessert shake topped with topping , meringues, chocolate and therefore the full shebang. Yup, that was probably it.


Luise mentioned the thought of a shake this morning and a couple of hours later we found ourselves in our front room window, watching these two shakes overloaded with toppings and surrounded by 1,000,000 small pieces of nuts, crushed meringues and chocolate spread. As naughty as they appear , these shakes are made with real ingredients. They even has beetroot in them. and that they are entirely vegan.



The base may be a deliciously thick nice cream made with frozen bananas, frozen raspberries, dates, nut milk ice cubes and beetroot. Because we wanted it thick, you would like a robust blender or kitchen appliance to urge it smooth. But you'll also just replace a number of the frozen ingredients with thawed to form it more sort of a smoothie and easier to blend. We top it with vegan meringues (which we happened to possess at home), whipped coconut milk , melted dark vegan chocolate, chopped hazelnuts, raspberries and a dusting of cacao powder.


So you recognize what you would like to try to to tomorrow. Whip these babies up for your partner, parent, friend, pet or somebody else you're keen on . We shared these with our youngsters . Their eyeballs almost popped once they saw them and as soon because the first layer of topping was gone, we filled up with more. As shall you.
It’s easy to form vegan meringues using aquafaba but if you're not vegan, you'll in fact just buy or make regular meringues. Or skip them.


Raspberry & Beetroot Nice Cream

• 50 g /1/2 cup grated raw beetroot
• 225 g / 2 cups frozen raspberries
• 4 soft dates
• 2 frozen bananas
• 1/2 tsp freshly ground cardamom
• 5 coconut milk ice cubes (or other nut milk)

Topping

• 100 g / 3 1/2 oz bittersweet chocolate
• 3 tbsp hazelnuts
• 250 ml / 1 cup whipped coconut milk (instructions here) or regular topping
• a handful fresh (or frozen and thawed) raspberries
• 1 tsp cacao powder
• 4-5 vegan meringues or regular

Melt chocolate over a water bath and chop the hazelnuts finely. Dip the rim of two glasses within the chocolate then within the nuts. Place the glass the freezer therefore the chocolate will set while preparing the smoothie.


Add all nice cream ingredients to a high-speed blender or kitchen appliance . Mix and mash using the tamper until everything is smooth, thick and creamy. Add an additional splash nut milk to the blender if needed to relax . Drizzle melted bittersweet chocolate inside the glasses and spoon within the smoothie/nice cream. Top generously with whipped coconut milk , raspberries, chopped nuts and more melted chocolate. Sprinkle with cacao powder and crush a couple of meringues on top.
