What better way to celebrate an unseasonably warm day than with a bowl of homemade ice cream?! This particular ice cream is well worth the celebration because it tastes incredibly indulgent but is surprisingly good for you.  It’s totally allergy-friendly as it’s vegan, gluten-free, nut-free and soy-free. It’s easy to make and you might have all the ingredients on hand right now!

Today on Apocalicious, we’re breaking up! Record numbers of couples are calling it quits right now. Why? Too much togetherness thanks to international lockdown is likely behind this shocking new trend…if you’re stuck in a disappointing or suffocating relationship, it might be high time to leave it behind. Our (Let That) Mango Sorbet was inspired by this global plight. I hope it gives you more than just cold comfort in these stressful times.

If you’re gonna drink your way through these crazy days, do it right. This creamy and indulgent drink has it all…a caffeine kick to fuel your journey down a conspiracy theory rabbit hole, the nip of courage you need to face the music, and a spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down. It’s like your morning mocha, your evening nightcap and a milkshake had a three-way and this was the delicious bastard lovechild. It’s also vegan and gluten-free!

Whether you’re turning 20 in quarantine or feel like you’ve aged 20 years in the last 20 days, I have a little gift for you! My Cry If I Want To Birthday Cake! It’s a teeny, tiny funfetti cake that’s ready to party whenever you’re ready to eat your feelings. It whips up in minutes with ingredients you probably have in your pantry and you make it in the microwave! It’s vegan and gluten-free optional, too.

Inspired by The Matrix, our Right As Rain GIANT Cookie is a gigantic new spin on a classic — CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES! Pretty much anyone can dig into this vegan pantry recipe because it’s free of major allergens, is vegan, can be made gluten-free, and is made entirely out of pantry items. I know you’re gonna love it.

When everything is perfect and unshakeable, things get boring and people become complacent. My “Everything Crumbles” Cookies are a sweet ode to the sentiment that there’s beauty in the cracks and flaws of life. They are loaded with virtually everything in my pantry — crumbled into sweet, broken harmony.

I hate being stuck inside all day. It really brings me down, man. But I have a strategy for getting through this difficult time. Every day, I get up, get out of bed, drag a comb across my head and make a Mocha Quarancinno, or as I like to call it, a HUG-IN-A-MUG! Think of it like a rich and creamy, coffee-spiked hot chocolate.

A lightly spiced cake stuffed to the brim with caramelized spiced apples — what’s not to love? This Hard Core Apple Cake is the perfect “company’s not coming” but I still deserve a piece of cake recipe. The secret recipe to keep in your back pocket for last minute self-isolation that requires something sweet, but not too fancy.

Sometimes, after a particularly challenging day, all you want to do is kick back and dig into something indulgent. This velvety and rich-tasting dessert is pure joy in a cup. Silky, creamy, rich, sweet, chocolatey and salty…Chocolate and caramel are made for each other.
