Lemon Meringue Pie (Vegan and Gluten-free)

My father loves lemon meringue, so when I went to his house for Easter, I made one. The result is this creamy pie, with a hint of tartness, and a lemon poppyseed crust made from Bobo Bars.

I wanted a little more lemon flavor but was concerned with the texture of the pie if I added more lemon juice. So instead I added 5 drops of Young Living Lemon Vitality.

Dulce de Leche Chocolate Coconut Cheesecake (vegan and gluten-free)

In my post Top 15 Vegan and Gluten-Free Foods 2018, I mentioned how much I love Bobo Bars, and they sent me some! Isn’t that great?! So I used four Chocolate Almond Butter Filled Bob Bars as an inspiration for this Caramel and Chocolate Cheesecake. It made a superb three ingredient crust! The chocolate cheesecake layer at the top goes well with the Chocolate Almond Butter Filled Bob Bar Crust.

The bottom dulce de leche layer is one of my favorite flavors, but people here in the USA don’t seem to know what it is – it’s almost like a thick sweet caramel. I’ve used this homemade Vegan Dulce De Leche recipe for many of my desserts. My most recent parent win is that my eight-year-old daughter can make it now! It’s awesome! She loves to cook and help and feels even more empowered when she does it by herself. I might enjoy the help a little too much because I made three dulce de leche desserts in two weeks!

DON’T FORGET TO PIN IT
