Creamy vanilla ice cream, sandwiched between two chewy chocolate chip cookies. These gluten free vegan chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwiches are the PERFECT summer treat!! When it comes to summer desserts, I have a few favorites.

All of these desserts involve baking, which I don't do as much of in the summer.

What could be better than a bowl of homemade gluten free honey almond granola? It's crunchy, sweet and the perfect breakfast treat! I make a batch of homemade granola about once a week. It's a family fave, for sure. The biggest granola fan in our house is my husband. He has celiac disease and has tried MANY gluten free granolas over the years. He still says, "homemade is best!" With a little vanilla yogurt, it's his go-to snack.

Perfectly golden biscuit-like topping over sweet, juicy peaches. With a big scoop of vanilla ice cream, this gluten free vegan peach cobbler is a summertime MUST! Are you a peach dessert fan too?

Creamy chocolate chia mousse. You are going to love this healthy, yet oh so decadent, dairy free dessert that comes together in just minutes!

Layers of beans, guacamole, creamy taco sauce, salsa and all of the vibrant Mexican flavors. No one will even miss the dairy in this vegan 7 layer bean dip! A party isn't a party unless there are chips and dip involved. Am I right? It's the most snackalicious party food and it's always, always a crowd pleaser.

Who wouldn't go for one of these gluten free vegan baked chocolate donuts? Extra chocolatey cake donuts, dipped in a decadent chocolate glaze. Can't forget the chocolate sprinkles! It's a sad day when you have to accept the fact that being able to buy freshly fried donuts is a thing of the past. I remember shortly after going gluten free, I was in the grocery story and passed the donut case.

A simple, buttery holiday cookie that's made with toasted walnuts and rolled in powdered sugar. What's not to love about these gluten free vegan snowball cookies?
