s/o: Best Ice Cream recipes!!!

[lil_earthmomma]

Lay 'em on me! I have an ice cream maker and would love some tried and true awesome icecream recipes!!! :

[carnelian]

Ok here are two favorites ::

Ginger Cacao Bliss

1 can coconut milk
1.5 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp celtic sea salt
2 egg yolks (optional)

Mix this up and then proceed as per your ice cream maker's instructions. During the last 5 minutes add ::

1/2 cup raw cacao nibs
1/2 cup candied ginger.

Freeze and serve.

Salted Cashew Chocolate Chip

Mix up the same ingredients in part 1 of the above recipe. In the last five minutes add ::

1 cup crushed salted cashews
1 cup chocolate chips

Freeze, serve and Enjoy!

These two are the recipes I use as my bases for whatever flavor I want to make:
Honey Ice Cream - to make a fruit flavor, I cut the cream to 1 1/2 c and leave out the half and half and use about 2 cups of chopped fruit. I've made peach-ginger, blackberry-lemongrass, and any number of other flavors with whatever fresh fruit comes my way.
Maple Ice Cream - This one is great with or without the nuts. If you're adding the nuts, let it rest in the freezer a day before eating it or else the nuts don't really add any flavor. This makes a great accompaniment to things like pumpkin pie.

Anyone have a coconut milk ice cream recipe that doesn't need cream?

We are dairy free and my kids don't like rice milk ice cream and I would rather not buy the soy ice cream, but they love ice cream, so what to do?

I would also like to use stevia and fruit if I could so I would rather make it at home. I have an ice cream maker too.

Thanks!

Funny to see this -- I'm just churning out a few flavors for my book launch today -- here's the ones I chose because they are my favorites. They are all dairy-free but if you want to make them with dairy, replace the coconut milk with heavy cream and the nondairy milk with regular cow's milk.

Lavender Ice Cream
Makes 1 quart
Lavender blossoms give this ice cream a unique, delicate flavor. I love it with a mild-flavored cake like pound cake. It’s also delicious topped with berries. This is one of my most-requested recipes.

1 1/4 cups soymilk or other nondairy milk
1/4 cup fresh lavender flowers and buds (about 8 large sprigs)
1 (14-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
1/2 cup granulated sugar or agave syrup

Pour the soymilk into a small saucepan and warm on medium-low heat until it just begins to boil. Stir in the lavender flowers and buds. Cover and remove from the heat. Steep for 20 minutes.
Place a fine-mesh strainer over a medium bowl. Pour the soymilk through the strainer to remove the lavender. Whisk in the coconut milk and sugar. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours. Then freeze in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s directions.

Chocolate-Raspberry Ice Cream
Makes about 3 cups
Rich dark chocolate tinged with fresh red raspberries—a wonderful flavor combination. To make this even more decadent, add a couple of tablespoons of Chambord liqueur.

1 (14-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups raspberries

Place the coconut milk, sugar, and cocoa powder in a medium saucepan and whisk until well combined. Warm on medium-low heat until the mixture just begins to simmer and get foamy. Remove from the heat and stir in the raspberries. Let rest for 20 minutes.
Pour the mixture into a blender or food processor and process until smooth. Place a fine-mesh strainer over a medium bowl (or, to save on dishwashing, over the saucepan you used to heat the coconut milk). Pour the blended mixture into the strainer and press it through to remove the seeds. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours. Then freeze in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s directions.

And my kids favorite--which is super quick to make with frozen organic blueberries from Trader Joe's and then you don't need to chill the base -- just blend up and freeze in your ice cream maker. Of course, it's great with fresh berries too when they're in season.

Blueberry Ice Cream
Makes 1 quart
Blueberries are my favorite berry, so I thought I might be biased about how good I think this flavor is. It turns out it wasn’t just me; it was a favorite of the testers as well.

2 cups blueberries
1 (14-ounce can) full-fat coconut milk
1/2 cup soymilk or other nondairy milk
1/2 cup granulated sugar or agave syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Combine all of the ingredients in a blender and process until smooth. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Then freeze in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s directions.

These sound great. I just am having trouble with the math. Do you know the quantity this produces? 1 quart, 1.5 quarts? I am hoping it will fit in my machine. Thanks!

[carnelian]

My ice cream maker is 1.5 quarts and those recipes work fine in terms of quantity. I wanted to add that the salt is key to a great flavor.

You can replace cream in any ice cream recipe with coconut milk and it'll turn out fine. Coconut milk has enough fat in it that it's not really a problem... things like soy or rice milk usually require another source of fat to turn out properly.

Would that be a Schrute Farm specialty?

So forgive a newbie question, but I've never used coconut milk--does it add a coconut flavor?

I'm filing away the maple ice cream recipe and the chocolate raspberry. YUM.

[tanyam926]

Thanks cristeen, I am gonna be an ice cream makin' fool this summer!

[lil_earthmomma]

These are all so great!!! : I can't wait to make all of them!

[crbyard]

A friend just passed this on to me. She is not vegan but says she loves it!

Vegan Vanilla Ice Cream
1 cup cashews
2 cups water
1/4 cup agave nectar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 pinch celtic sea salt

1. In a blender, combine all ingredients and blend on high speed
2. Pour mixture into an ice cream maker and process according to instructions
3. Serve

[PaulaJoAnne]

Don't have a maker that I use, but here is our fav vanilla recipe.

1 quart of fresh raw cream
I whip it in my Bosch will until its very stiff.
Add 3 eggs yolks, 1/2 cup raw honey (we have raspberry blossom), and 1 tsp of vanilla.
Mix all together, and scoop it into a shallow pan. Cover and freeze.
This turns out super!!!:
If I want chocolate, I add cocoa powder to taste.

[cushsb]

on my recent trip to south east asia, i got to try durian ice cream... really smells, but tastes great. wondering if anyone has the recipe to it.

Surprisingly, the coconut milk does not really add much of a coconut flavor -- but does add that creamy richness that you want.
