I saw this recipe in a magazine, veganized it and wanted to share it with everyone. I haven't tried it yet, but thought it sounded like a very yummy holiday treat!



Candy Cane "Ice Cream"-



1 pint vanilla frozen dessert (like Soy Delicious)

1/4 teaspoon pure peppermint extract

6 small candy canes, crushed (they're vegan, right???)



Soften the ice cream by letting it sit out for 15 minutes, then stir in the peppermint extract & crushed candy canes. Freeze until firm.



Dark Chocolate Pudding Pie-



Nonstick cooking spray

1 cup flour

3/4 cup sugar

6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup plain soy milk

2 1-ounce squares unsweetened chocolate

2 tablespoons margarine

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup hot water



Preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly coat a 10-inch pie pan with nonstick cooking spray.

Whisk together flour, sugar, 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, baking powder & salt in a large bowl. Set aside.

Combine soy milk, chocolate squares and margarine in a small saucepan. Place over medium-low heat until chocolate & margarine are melted. Blend well into flour mixture. Transfer batter into prepared pie pan, spreading evenly across the bottom.

In a small bowl, whisk together brown sugar and 4 tablespoons of cocoa powder. Sprinkle evenly over batter. Place pie in oven and gently pour hot water over everything (this will create a brownielike top and a gooey bottom). Bake for 40 minutes. Center will be puddinglike.

Remove pudding pie from oven and let cool slightly. Spoon each serving onto a dessert plate, and top with a scoop of the peppermint "ice cream".



Enjoy!

My mouth started to water while reading this! Chocolate mint is my favorite, favorite flavor combo! As I only have myself to cook for, I'm guessing you will make this before I do, so please let me know how it turns out!

Ditto everything Carnelian said.

Oh god, this sounds sooooo good. Damn printer, work! Why is my computer falling apart? I need to print this out!!!

If you can't get your printer to work, let me know. I'll print a copy for you & send it to you. I owe you one.

Aww, thanks that's so nice. I'm just going to handwrite this one I need to make this ASAP! Thanks a bunch for the offer!

Hee hee. Let me know how it turns out!
