My exam food + nice cream obsession
These little swirls have been my lifesavers for the last years when I have been studying for my law degree. I literally can’t image my life without this chocolate raspberry nice cream anymore.
When I have to work for long hours, then there are two things that have helped me. First one is matcha latte and the second one is nice cream. When I have had one of those two things, then I always feel like I can keep going for hours.
Sweet tooth + no store ice cream
Since I never buy ice cream or chocolate from the store, then this quick dessert has been my kind of quick chocolate. However, a few years ago I would probably say that this isn’t sweet enough. Over the last five years I have been working on my sugar addiction and now I can say that this swirl is perfectly sweet.
You might already know that I’m a big sweet tooth. This nice cream satisfies my sweet tooth completely. If I could choose only one frozen dessert that I could eat the rest of my life, then I would choose this nice cream.

Ingredients
Coconut Yogurt:
- 4-5 tbsp organic natural coconut yogurt (unsweetened*, dairy-free, made out of coconut milk)

For serving: 2 tbsp almond butter, 1 tsp cocoa nibs, 2 tbsp frozen raspberries
Instructions:
- Mix coconut yogurt with vanilla. Set aside.
