Don’t even get me started with that “it’s not fall yet” junk. I know it’s not. I know. It’s still August, for crying out loud, but the deal is that the pumpkining has already begun and, frankly, the weather here in Texas has already turned the corner for cooler days (well, less than 100-degree days). So, I got all creative and busted out a recipe for Vegan Caramel Apple Ice Cream Cake. You can thank me later–around a mouthful of apple and ice cream yumminess.
There’s crazy levels of love for this ice cream cake in me. I kind of love apples…like apple PIE mostly, but I also LOVE caramel apples. So, this was a, more-or-less, natural conversion. Because, who doesn’t want vegan Caramel Apple Ice Cream Cake?! Tell me. I must know this person so I can set them straight.
And the fact that this is all vegan and gluten-free is kind of a plus, except that it makes it PERFECT. Yeah, way more than a plus. Heh. So, when my husband tried to “share” off my plate–I gave him the “nasty” look (as he calls it) and moved my plate into my lap.
Stay away from my vegan Caramel Apple Ice Cream Cake. Just sayin’.
Heck, I even loved it so much, I got right-up in it for the photos and did a whole video of putting it together (because it’s really simple, but so pretty…I just thought you’d like to SEE how it went together). Just look at all that caramel. I have to have another piece. Seriously too bad I let my husband have the last slice. Grrr…

It’s ok that he ate that, though. Because I can make another vegan Caramel Apple Ice Cream Cake in a jiff. It’s super easy. All I need is–OH NO! I’M OUT OF COCONUT MILK! Seriously. We’re on the way to the store now. You should be, too. But, before you run, pin this recipe so you don’t lose it. Trust me. Heh.
