Creamy tropical flavors in every bite make this vegan banana coconut semifreddo a must-make for your next gathering! ‘Vegan’ isn’t a word that I often use to describe my recipes.

I chopped them up and whipped up a batch of pistachio biscotti…. with chocolate of course. I’m a BIG fan of biscotti. This is probably due to the fact…
