Raw Vegan Breakfast Ice Cream Cake
I usually keep breakfast pretty simple with green smoothies or oatmeal. Last week Ross looked at me with are you crazy?? eyes when I pulled a cake out of the freezer and sliced us pieces for breakfast. The night before I secretly prepared today’s Raw Vegan Breakfast Ice Cream Cake – a totally raw breakfast-friendly decadent looking cake.
I kept the ingredients super simple and there’s very little sweetener so it’s important to use ripe bananas. The cake has to set for 6 hours so I recommend you prepare it the night before so it’s all ready to go in the morning. This recipe originally ran on Mind Body Green.
