The dairy-free, allergy-friendly ice cream in this recipe does double duty. A little is used in the blondies for richness, moisture, and flavor, and the rest can be scooped for blondies à la mode!

Serves: 12 to 16 servings
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons dairy-free buttery spread or coconut oil, melted
- ⅔ cup firmly-packed light brown sugar
- ½ cup Perfectly Free Caramel Cafe Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (see notes above for gluten-free)
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup chopped walnuts (optional; omit for nut-free)
- Perfectly Free Caramel Cafe Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350ºF and lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
- Put the buttery spread or oil, brown sugar, and melted ice cream in a mixing bowl and whisk or beat with a hand mixer until the sugar is dissolved. Stir in the vanilla.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the nuts (if using).
- Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Be careful not to overmix, which will yield tough vegan blondies. A few lumps in the batter are okay.
- Transfer the batter to your prepared pan and smooth it into an even layer.
- Bake for 26 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown and the edges pull away from the pan slightly. Let the blondies cool completely before cutting.
- Serve topped with a scoop of frozen dessert!
