But you don’t need a grill for this recipe – we pop it under the broiler instead for a similarly stellar result....

You all know I love ice cream by now – exhibits A, B, and C – but dairy doesn’t always do me favors. Yes, vegan ice creams do exist. However, coconut milk doesn’t always jibe with my system, either.
