INGREDIENT NOTES:
VEGAN SPONGE CAKE:
- Your cake will become soft when you layer your dessert. This will be the basic item in your vegan dessert. You may also use angel food cake (vegan). Vegan plain biscuits may also work here for the base of your dessert.
COCONUT WHIPPED CREAM:
- As this recipe has the name snow in it, we will use this. Using coconut whipped cream will give your dessert a light consistency. Also, you can use vegan whipped topping.
VEGAN CREAM CHEESE:
- Adding vegan cream cheese to your dessert will give a deep feeling. Also, it will give your dessert a tangy taste too. Consider using thick coconut cream for an alternative.
POWDERED SUGAR:
- Smoothness will be a part of your dessert because you will use the powdered sugar. Powdered sugar can be combined in your dessert mix with ease. Coconut sugar in its powdered form can also be an option.
VANILLA EXTRACT:
- If you include this item in your dessert, the flavor of it will be enhanced. Vanilla powder may also be an option for you.
CANNED CHERRIES:
- These will be the main items for your vegan dessert. The color of your dessert will improve. They will also give you a sweet taste. You may use the frozen ones if that is easy for you.
CORNSTARCH:
- For the cherry layer, you will use cornstarch. This is due to it making the mix thicker and easier to adjust. You may also use tapioca starch as an alternative.
WATER:
- This will be used for making the fruit layer of your vegan dessert. Water will make the sauce smoother. Cherry juice may be a substitute for you.
