Dairy-Free Almond Joy Ice Cream Sundae (V, DF, Paleo): the perfect frozen, allergy-friendly treat to satisfy your Almond Joy cravings and cool you down this summer! Vegan Dairy-Free, Paleo, Gluten-Free.
So… how was your weekend?? Did you celebrate the Fourth of July? Did you have all the fun and then some? 🙂
Tell me there was at least some ice cream, if not ice cream bars, or some popsicles and at least four milkshakes. Okay, fine… it’s not all about food. Riiiiight? 😉 Did you get a chance to relax, unwind and just chill?
As for me and Erik, it was all about family time, relaxation and just… time away from all of our electronic devices. You totally just heard me happy sigh, right? 😉 We did so many fun things these past few days… but mostly, we just slowed down. And it was incredible.
We had plans to go bicycling along the Charles River, but we kinda just scrapped it to take care of our new home. You know we moved into our apartment two months ago, but we’re still unpacking and figuring out just the right spot for our things.
Lately, we’ve been watching all of these DIY videos on Youtube, and getting ourselves all worked up about customizing our home. Yep, customizing our home. 😉 Have you seen some of the insanely creative things people do on YT? And don’t even get me started on tiny homes… Like, now Erik and I’ve been looking at everything in our apartment and going, wait, there should definitely be like 4 storage cubbies hidden behind there, and at least three hidden elevator beds dispersed throughout the place.
Anywho, we also went on a picnic with the Boston fam: Grams, PB (turning 4 sooon!!!!) and Jams (my sister Jenny). And boy can they eat!! J/k. Sometimes I think we all might qualify as competitive eaters, then while I’m thinking about that, I see something else I’d like to eat and completely forget what I was thinking. Thank goodness we walk so much. Lol.
It was nice just sitting, spreading out a blanket, laying out all of our sweet and savory goodies, enjoying each other’s company and just… relaxing. As a family. 🙂 The night before, I whipped up a batch of the ice cream base for this Dairy-Free Almond Joy Ice Cream Sundae, froze it overnight, and it was just perfectly thawed by the time we got to our picnic spot.
Since the weather was so warm, the magic shell actually kept liquidy, can you believe?? We also thought about making some of this tasty looking Sugar-Free Low Carb Ice Cream Recipe from Wholesome Yum! To veganize it, I was going to use dairy-free butter. Okay, fine, I totally have ALL the ice cream on my brain right now! I was also going to try making a vegan version of this yummy Gluten Free No Churn Cookies and Cream Ice Cream from My Gluten-Free Miami. .
Other than that, we cleaned up the apartment a bit (the non-fun, non-DIY part), slept in (yes, it was just wonderful) and did a little retail therapy. How about you? I truly hope you got a chance to dial back and enjoy some quality times with the ones you love.

Your website is awesome!!! Your recipes always sound so amazing, but because there is no nutritional info, I have not made any of them. I am gluten and dairy free and on a very restricted carb count as well. Is that information available??
Thanks!!
Sheri
Aw, thank you so much, Sheri! Currently, I’m working on adding nutritional info to the entire site. It’s gonna take the next few months to cover it all. 😉 Thank you so much for your patience! <3 Big hugs!
Thank you Demeter for your reply!!
I shall wait for it!!
In the meantime, I will continue to read…and drool over your recipes!

Sounds like you had a great, long weekend! It’s so nice to relax and unwind, especially when you’re able to take a break from your phone and social media. I wish these sundaes were around on the 4th, because I definitely would’ve it about 10 scoops! I’m loving the almond joy flavor and that homemade magic shell. Just perfect for the summer! Pinned! Happy weekend to you, Demeter!
It was the best! I seriously need to make more time to relax. So true about stepping back from social media. LOL on the 10 scoops! Thank you for pinning, my friend. Have a fantastic weekend! 🙂
I was actually thinking of making some sundaes today. This looks perfect for the warm weather.
Perfect timing! Hope you just love this, Cathleen! 🙂
This ice cream sundae sounds and looks SO heavenly! I love that you used your Almond Joy ice cream as the centerpiece – I bet the flavours are amazing! Guess what? It’s actually HOT today 😉 so wishing I had a bowlful of this! Hope you’ve had an awesome week, Demeter! xo
It’s AMAZING, Marsha! What could be better to beat the heat than an ice cream sundae, right? 😉 WOOHOO on the hot weather, Marsha! I’m so glad that warm front came your way! 🙂 Wishing you a fantastic and WARM weekend ahead, Marsha! xoxo
Lady – your picnic sounds wonderful – from the company to the eats – what a treat it was!
So glad you got to unplug and enjoy! My daughter and I kinda unplugged too – I say kinda cos we went hiking in the woods surrounding the highest point in Georgia (Brasstown Bald) and had no signal – so you could say we were unplugged 🙂 However, when we got back our evening turned kinda sad after that when we found out a friend of my daughters had gotten in a terrible accident – wish I had had some of this delicious, joy-inducing almond joy ice cream at hand – and it’s dairy free too!
Hoping your week is wonderful sweet Demeter! xo
That it was! The company was seriously wonderful–which I totally think makes the food taste better too! 😉 I love that you and your daughter got to unplug as well. 🙂 Oh no! I’m so sorry to hear that… I hope your daughter’s friend is okay. Sending you big hugs. xo
