Lemon Coconut Blondie + Vanilla Bean
For those who enjoy moderately sweet desserts, this one's for you! Our Lemon Coconut Blondie is not too tart, not too sweet. It's just right!
The slight acidity pairs perfectly with the classic flavor of vanilla bean ice cream! For the best experience, warm up the ready to go brownie in the microwave, add as many scoops of ice cream as you want, and top with a drizzle of lemon custard.
Gut Health Benefits:
- Lemon: High in vitamin C, folate, potassium, flavonoids, and compounds called limonins.
- Coconut: high in manganese, which is essential for bone health and the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and cholesterol
Ice Cream Suggestion: NadaMoo! Organic Vanilla Bean Dairy-Free Frozen Dessert
Go ahead and indulge! Don’t be fooled by what seems to be a very simple pairing because before you know it you’ll be going in for seconds!
Apple Spice Blondie + Salted Caramel
News flash, apple spice is a year round flavor! With our Apple Spice Blondie you can have a sundae as homey as apple pie.
The fruity element in the Apple Spice Blondie will go perfectly with a sweeter ice-cream flavor such as salted caramel (no matter how you pronounce it). Apples and caramel are a match made in heaven and this combination will remind you of caramel apples, but better! Spice things up (pun intended) by adding a dash of cinnamon to your sundae toppings.
Gut Health Benefits:
- Granny smith apples: High in vitamin C, potassium, and fiber.
Ice Cream Suggestion: Nick’s Salted Caramel
This sundae combination is basically a big bowl of hugs and fond memories which makes it perfect for any friends and family gatherings.
Dark Chocolate + Mint
The first thing you think of when it comes to brownie sundaes is most definitely chocolate brownies! If you're looking to try a different version of the classic brownie sundae- look no further.
Our original Dark Chocolate Brownie is rich and decadent which makes it a great match for mint ice cream! This combination will remind you of mint chocolate chip ice cream without being overly sweet.
Gut Health Benefits:
- Cocoa: Fair-trade, ethically sourced, and decadent.
Ice Cream Suggestion: Van Leeuwen’s Vegan Mint Chip
Take this brownie sundae to the next level by warming up your brownie for a straight outta the oven experience! This sundae is very versatile so feel free to get creative with toppings - you can even turn it into a fun competition.
