adventures in vegan ice creaming

i am a terrible cook 90% of the time
making ice cream doesn't require any cooking (phew)
anyhow i tried making vegan chocolate ice cream by throwing together the ingredients below:
- 1 quart chocolate almond milk
- a scoop of lacuma powder (adds sweetness and nuttiness)
- a dash of vanilla extract
- soy coffee creamer that i had on hand

this combination does NOT yield chocolate ice cream...
instead, i was surprised with a frozen concoction that tasted exactly like thai iced tea! delicious AND magical

per makoto's request, today we tried:
- coconut milk
- little bit of soy coffee creamer
- raw cashews, soaked and then ground into a paste
- vanilla extract
- maple syrup
- crushed oreos (oreos are vegan!)
result: rich & creamy cookies n cream! the coconut flavor is still very apparent, which i don't mind at all. yummy

my dad gave me a bountiful harvest of guavas so i think i will make a guava sorbet next

good thing i can distract myself with delicious vegan ice cream because i am hella craving a quesadilla

Comments:

Ooh yum, youg guys experiments sound good! Even when icecream concotions don't come out right, they still taste good:)
BTW- our neighbors have a guava tree that dips over into our yard and I couldn't be happier about it. I had 3 yesterday while sitting on the back stairs and it was heaven.

my life

I Open My Eyes
Take The Crusts Out
Stretch Myself And Check (If I Haven’t)
Returned Again And Everything Is Okay
Still There Is Something Missing
Like All The Walls
