    Philly Cheese & a Mocha Root Beer Float


    If you think Philly Cheese sandwiches can’t be vegan, and Root Beer Floats are only for kids – listen up. These two summer treats will impress even the snootiest, veganist, sophisticated of tastes. Well, that and they are just two fun-yummy summertime recipes to try!

    Lunch and a frosty treat? done..

    Mocha Root Beer Float
    makes one float

    3 small scoops vanilla bean ice cream (any variety vegan ice cream)
    * I used Coconut Milk ice cream which gave the entire float a tropical accent
    1 tablespoon chocolate syrup
    1 shot espresso (for coffee-free version, sub with more root beer)
    1 can or bottle of root beer – use as much as fills your glass – add more as you drink if you’d like
    swirl of vegan/non-dairy whipped cream – any variety
    * I used soy whipped cream – coconut whip works too

    1 tall parfait/milkshake glass

    Directions:

    1. Add vanilla coconut milk ice cream
    2. Add chocolate syrup.
    3. Add espresso – or root beer. Add root beer until foams to top.
    4. Add vegan whipped cream on top.

    Vegan Philly Cheese Panini
    makes one sandwich

    1 Field Roast Spicy Chipotle Sausage, thinly sliced
    ½ cup Daiya Cheddar Cheese
    ¼ cup roasted peppers and /or onions
    2 slices of thick-cut sandwich bread – brushed with olive oil on both sides (I like a hearty multigrain bread)
    optional: spices for a pepper/onion saute

    1. First I roast my veggies and prep my sausage by thinly slicing.
    2. Then I arrange all my ingredients – open faced on bread and place under broiler in oven for 3 minutes.
    3. Then I fold sandwich together and panini press for another 3 minutes.
    Slice. Serve!
