Well, some rather awesome chocolate cauliflower popsicles of course. And if you add in some extra melted chocolate and sprinkles, well you get something beyond awesome. I can picture you all looking at the images of these ice lollies and going yes, yes, yes.

There is a time and place for decadent, spending all day making, melt in your mouth desserts, as there is for quickly whipped treats that leave you with more you time for indulging and licking your fingers, spoons, bowls and plates clean. And so, it should be.

But even more so is the time and place for the desserts that combine that much needed rich decadence with incredibly quick and easy preps and nourishing plant-based ingredients. Yes, these vegan chocolate cauliflower ice lollies are tasty, easy, oh so good for you and so much more.

The main ingredients in these chocolate and cauliflower popsicles are:

Cocoa powder

Lightly steamed cauliflower

Coconut milk

Dates

These combined give a rich, silky smooth dessert, that you can quite addictively eat right out of the blender with a spoon. I won’t judge you, I did. I really like that these cauliflower chocolate ice lollies are a treat, not only for vegans but for those wanting to follow a refined sugar-free lifestyle (excluding the sprinkles of course).

Plus, the hidden vegetable eats that parents and savvy friends sometimes need to try, because face it cauliflower does not have the best reputation, right? A little bit of something for everyone.

I can’t take any credit for these vegan popsicles. No, that goes to my good friend Kate Hackworthy from the blog, Veggie Desserts. I first e-met her about three and half years ago when we were both up for a blog award. Any illusions I might have had about winning, were quickly broken when I went to check out the ‘competition’.

I found a blog full of stunning vegetable desserts from cakes to muffins and from ice cream to tarts and everything in between. I pretty much ignored all the work I had scheduled and sent a few good hours drooling, bookmarking and even making some of her recipes. I have been a fan ever since.

So, I was more than pleased to receive a copy of her brand-new cook book veggie desserts + cakes. And yes, you guessed it the 60 recipes in this is about celebrating vegetables loud and proud, not about sneaking vegetables in.

Some stand out recipes for me include:

Sweet potato and salted hazelnut cookies

Parsnip tuile baskets with strawberries and cream,

Courgette and poppy seed loaf with lavender glaze

Spinach and lemon bars

Vegetable-dyed rainbow cake with coconut funfetti
