The Perfect Summer Dessert: Vegan S’mores Yogurt Parfait
Roasting s'mores is a classic summer activity: Some of my favorite summer memories are when I was sitting around the campfire with my loved ones after a long day relaxing in the summer heat. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to locate graham crackers that are free of honey and marshmallows made with no gelatin to ensure they're vegan.
This delicious Vegan S'mores Yogurt Parfait is a healthier, 100% vegan option to the traditional treat, so you can enjoy them it year-round. The masterpiece is made with coconut-based products and vegan chocolate. If you love s'mores, this recipe will become your go-to dessert!
