Vegan Chocolate Ice Cream Cups with Fudge and Cookies + DIY Packaging

Vegan Blizzard Cups with Chocolate Chip Cookies and Fudge // take a megabite

Hey guys. I’m going to be honest. I have no scissor skills. Cutting out a perfect circle just isn’t going to happen. I give tend to give circles corners. And I’m also not vegan. I ate blue cheese in my car once. However, I do think it’s important to have delicious vegan options up my sleeve. And I also think that presentation is key.

Lately, I’ve been on an ice cream kick, ya know? So I’ve been scooping it into cups and passing them out to my friends, Elliot’s vet, and co-workers. But I wasn’t digging handing them out in cups with foil folded over the top. It just wasn’t cute. These containers totally change that!

And can you believe the containers and spoons are eco-friendly? You can find them at Susty Party at these links: containers, lids, and spoons. And as far as the spoon decorating washi tape is everywhere. It’s totally at Target even. Or shop online here or wherever your heart takes you! (Cindy uses glitter tape and it makes everything cooler. She gave me a Tide pen once with a glitter gold tape flag! It’s my favorite Tide pen. Totes fancy.) Attach the spoons to the little cups with a rubber band or bakers twine!

Anyhow! I’ve made you guys labels for you to print out and put on your own ice cream concoctions. Just sign your name and pass them out! And I bet your handwriting is way neater than mine. My handwriting is what I like to call 5th grade chic.

Print out your fun labels HERE. There’s color and black and white options.

P.S. I noticed that the lids came with two different sized circle indents on top. So there are two different sizes for your lid-topping pleasure.
