“When I saw this recipe contest I was reluctant to enter because I have never thought about creating healthy recipes for others to eat. I mean I like to eat healthy and I like healthy recipes, but could I create one that would be easy, quick and taste good? I think I have. This is my take on an ice cream sandwich with a different twist on flavors - Caramel, Coconut, and Espresso. I hope you enjoy it because I did!!”
