No Chocolate?

From time to time, as a spiritual discipline, I fast. Generally, I fast from chocolate for a certain period of a few months. Though I am not eating one of my favorite things in the world, I still need something to soothe my sweet tooth. Here are some ideas for desserts and treats that don't have chocolate in them. Let it be known, though, that I LOVE chocolate!

Floats!

I have been making cream soda floats lately. All you need is two ingredients! Cream soda and vanilla ice cream.

I prefer cream soda to root beer because it's creamier (though the latter works well, as do many other types of pop). My preferred type of ice cream is vanilla bean. It is somehow more vanilla-y.

A few scoops of ice cream in a glass with a can of pop on top, and there is a nice sweet treat! Plus, most cream soda and root beers have no caffeine, so they are great in the evenings!

Cheesecake

Homemade or store bought, cheesecake is wonderful! Cool and creamy, it is refreshing all year round. You can add fruit on top or just whipped cream. AND, there's no chocolate! (Though, if you're a chocolate eater, you certainly can get it with chocolate!)

Angel Food Cake

I was visiting my sister, and she made a dessert I often forget about (and only have at her house.) Angel food cake, or strawberry shortcake. She got a store-bought cake, made her own whipped cream (YUM!) and added strawberries. I'm not a huge strawberry fan, but raspberries or just whipped cream are good as well.

Pie!

What's more American than apple pie? You can even add caramel!

Or peach pie, cherry pie, strawberry-rhubarb pie... Or even the cream pies or a different kind. Try it!

Sweet?

    Yum, yum. Sometimes if there are no sweets in the house, I will make some cinnamon toast. Mmmmm!
