Vegan Recipes For My Ice Cream Maker

[TSomm]

Send them my way! It's gathering dust now that I'm dairy free.

Anyone have some coconut milk ice cream recipes?

[broodymama]

I make this chocolate coconut milk ice cream and it's good, just very rich!

I'm interested in other recipes too.

[TSomm]

Oh gosh, that looks delicious. It's a to-do for this weekend.

[calynde]

That one looks good, too! I even have some bananas frozen already and some cashew butter in the fridge. Thanks!

No one has a good sorbet recipe? I'll do some searching.

Berry sorbet-

Simple syrup - 1 cup each water and sugar, bring to a boil, cool

1 pound fresh berries, pureed
juice (and zest if you are inclined) of one lemon (or lime, depending on the flavor you are going for)

Chill for 2-3 hours before freezing

The basic coconut milk ice cream base that I use is adapted from Lick It.

I find that the recipes in that book are great, but that adding 1/4 cup of sugar to the recipe improves the texture that you have when the ice cream is frozen solid.

1 can full fat coconut milk
1 1/4 cups soymilk
3/4 cup sugar

For vanilla, add 1 tbs vanilla extract.
Chocolate, heat to almost boiling and stir in add 6 ounces of chocolate chips
mint add 1 tbs peppermint extract to the vanilla base.
Rosewater- 1 tbs rosewater, 1 tbs vanilla
add a cup or two of pureed fruit

Run, don't walk to buy the book Lick It by Cathe Olsen. It will change your life!

I wanna try this one with the rose water. I have some and only use it in a couple of things. This sounds like a yummy way though

What about a book: Vice Cream
http://www.amazon.com/Vice-Cream-Gou.../dp/1587611996

Oh yes, the coconut milk ice creams are the best. But, I don't have the recipe with me (in storage). All I remember is cashews, almond milk, coconut meat, agave, vanilla bean, pinch of salt...

[TSomm]

We made the chocolate coconut milk ice cream Red Sonja linked to in her post. BIG HIT! So delicious. Next one we'll try is the banana one.

Slight tangent: Hubby bought me a juicer for my bday. You can take ripened frozen bananas and homogenize them. It creates this delicious ice cream like treat that is just frozen banana!

[veganjoy]

I do lots of gelato-style coconut ice cream, and it's so easy. Here's the basic recipe, with mint and peanut butter variations: http://veganjoy.blogspot.com/2010/06...co-gelato.html

[germin8]

I'm going to have to try the gelato!

[Koalamom]

Is there a way to make vegan ice cream without bananas and coconut? My kids are allergic to those. Oh we (me ) really miss ice cream.

[catnip]

Yeah, totally! Can they have cashews or soy?

[Koalamom]

Soy is a big allergen too.
But cashews are fine and chololate. Please tell me it is possible to make ice cream.

[catnip]

Yep, should be doable. I'll have to look them up, but Vice Cream has a bunch of recipes based around cashew cream that should work fine. I'll try to post a couple today.

I just made your recipe last night with a couple of tweaks, and it was fabulous!!!

I used a small amount of regular sugar with stevia instead of agave syrup, and threw in some thawed leftover fresh coconut shavings I had in the freezer. YUM!

This ice cream is just as good as any recipe using dairy, IMO (and I'm a huge dairy fan. I just didn't have any on hand last night).

It's so nice to be able to make ice cream from ingredients from the pantry rather than the fridge.

[Koalamom]

I DID IT!!!
My birthday was yesterday, and I made ice cream without soy and coconut!

Here is what I did:
1 heaping cup raw cashews
handful frozen strawberries
vanilla extract
pinch salt
local maple syrup

1. Soak cashews in water for a few hours to soften. Drain and rinse.

2. Puree all ingredients well, and put in ice cream maker. I don't have an ice cream maker, so I froze it in a shallow pan, and after a few hours, it was pretty solid, and I puree it in my food procesor till creamy. It was so yummy and tasted alot like strawberry ice cream and had the same texture. I am for sure making this again. Perhaps with cocoa next time. I served it with vegan chocolate cake.

It sat on the table ready for about 10 minutes, and it was still a solid ice cream texture. Regular dairy homemade icecream turns to soup 10 minutes after churning.

Just a note, don't be skimpy on the sweetener.
