Zucchini Lemon Cupcakes
Though the humble zucchini is usually associated with savoury dishes, it can be a great ingredient in lemon cupcakes. Grated zucchini adds subtle moisture to the cupcakes, while the bright citrusy notes of lemon create a refreshing burst of flavour. Top it with a tangy lemon glaze or a dollop of cream cheese frosting for a sophisticated look. This is moist, undeniably delicious and topped with a lemon glaze that will keep you coming back for one more cupcake.
Sweet Potato Ice Cream
Move over vanilla and chocolate because sweet potato ice cream is here to steal the limelight. Sweet potatoes have a natural creaminess that transforms a simple frozen treat into a decadent indulgence. Its vibrant orange hue is also visually striking. Paired with crunchy pecans or a drizzle of maple syrup, sweet potato ice cream can offer a refreshing departure from classic ice cream flavours. There are plenty of healthy alternatives to ice cream that will satisfy your sweet tooth. With a little creativity, you can enjoy dessert guilt-free.
Pineapple Sherbet
Similar to sorbet but with a slightly creamier texture, this yummy dessert must be enjoyed during the festive season. Fresh pineapple slices, coconut milk, lime juice, and sugar or agave syrup are combined and served in a bowl. Then, the frozen mixture is blended into a smooth ice cream and allowed to cool. Pineapple sherbet, a top summer treat that combines coldness, sweet and sour taste, and a refreshing tropical flavour, is undoubtedly a favourite any day.

Strawberry Ice Cream Sundays
The fluffy texture combined with the sweet, fruity note of strawberry ice cream sundaes makes for a delightful treat. For a healthy and vegan ice cream base, blend frozen bananas and strawberries until smooth. The sauce requires a very ripe peach, a ripe banana, and a cup of oats, along with a drizzle of maple syrup on top. This summer dessert's natural sweetness, cooling impact on hot days, and freshness make it perfect.
