Many of my blogger buddies have been participating in this cooking meme.  I’ve been wanting to do it for awhile now, so I decided to try it out this weekend.
I do a ton of cooking and baking, all vegan style.  That means no animal products what so ever.  Vegans and non-vegans both love it when I cook and bake for them, which just goes to show that vegans eat very well.

Tonight, for desert I made Summer Berry Cobbler with Vanilla Bean Whipped Creme.  It does not have to be summer to enjoy this treat.  In fact, hubby and I like to have it when it’s still warm. I always buy flats of berries when there in season, and freeze them so I can make this recipe and others, year round.  I got this recipe, here.

I must confess that I forgot to take a picture of them with whipped creme on top but the good news is this makes 4, so we have 2 left.  Heres a photo without the whip. 
I do a couple things a bit different than the original recipe does:

For the sugar/berry mixture, I use 1/3 cup sugar instead of 1/2 cup.  I followed the exact recipe the first time I made it and we thought it was way too sweet.
Tip:  When using frozen berries, I find it easiest to make if the berries are slightly thawed, rather than thawed all the way.
I don’t sprinkle any almond milk or sugar on top.
For the Whipped cream:
First let me say, that this is the best vegan whipped cream recipe out there, by far!  I have tried a lot of other ones but they all pale in comparison.  
I use two heaping tablespoons of the powdered sugar, rather than 2/3 cup.  
I use a teaspoon of organic pure vanilla extract instead of the vanilla bean.
I like this best in ramekins, rather than the 8X8 pan but I use 4 ramekins instead of 8.  Just be sure to place them on a cookie sheet to bake, in case they boil over a bit.
If you want to eat them warm, be sure to let them cool for a good half hour first or you will burn your mouth.
The way I make this recipe, there are 4 bigs servings rather than 8 small servings. 🙂
If you give this recipe a try, be sure to let me know how you likes it.  I actually served this as one of the desserts at Christmas and my family begged for more.  Seriously, and they are not vegans like hubby and I.
