The crust was homemade and more like a granola mixture than graham cracker....

I am making this sandwich masala powder at home since past 4 years. Earlier I was making sandwiches without this masala and it was tasting good.

Last week I made Vegan Chai Ice Cream* and fell in love. The creamy, spicy-sweet goodness that is this cashew-based dessert has made me a vegan ice cream belieber. I’m never going back.
