Our next veganized summer classic is for coffee lovers everywhere who would rather spoon their espresso with dessert than sip it: Espresso Cream-Crunch

Ingredients

1 1/4 Cups soy creamer
1/4 Cup soy cream cheese
2 Tbls sugar
1 tsp instant espresso powder
1/4 Cup espresso beans (about 30)
2 Tbsp sweetened carob shavings

Preparation

Briefly chilling the bowl keeps the cream cold, making it easier to whip.

Whisk together soy creamer, cream cheese , sugar and espresso powder in the chilled bowl until it forms soft peaks. Refrigerate whipped cream mixture until ready to serve.

Lightly crush the espresso beans on a cutting board with the side of a large knife. Stir with the shaved carob . Just before serving, gently fold the espresso mixture together with the chilled cream. Spoon into bowls.
