Years ago, we shared these fun Leprechaun mint chip ice cream parfaits from Enjoy Life Foods. They are a fun and delicious way to enjoy dessert on St. Patrick’s Day. And they’re pretty darn convenient, just in case you forgot to plan ahead.
Of course, these mint chip ice cream parfaits can be enjoyed anytime a sundae is in order. Whip them up for birthday parties, barbecues, or simply to reward yourself on a warm day.
The recipe is allergy-friendly and vegan with the use of Enjoy Life Foods chocolate cookies and chocolate chips. Both are made in their top allergen-free facility. If you want to enjoy more of their goodies for St. Patrick’s Day, they’ve posted some other ways to Get Your Green On.
These mint chip ice cream parfaits were buried in our news section, but today I’m giving them a permanent home in our recipe section. Aren’t you lucky?!
