i am never buying storebought ice cream again.or an ice cream maker.

home made vanilla bean ice cream.made using mimiccreme.with no ice cream maker.made in the blender.takes longer,but i got perfect texture.vegan and soy-free.with organic vanilla beans my dad got while working in uganda. last year.

i will never buy store bought ice cream again.so good.

seriously,probably the best vegan vanilla ice cream i've had.thought maybe the vanilla softserve at blossoming lotus was better...it's a tough call,and it's been a while.
i can't wait to make other flavours.like chocolate chip cookie dough.and cherry chocolate chunk.and cheesecake ice cream with actual chunks of cheesecake.yes.


No-Ice Cream Maker Vanilla Bean Ice Cream Recipe


to make this,this is what i did:
3 cups sweetened mimiccreme
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 vanilla beans,scraped
a pinch sea salt

1.blend all thoroughly until very smooth in blender.

2.pour into ice cubes trays(i used 2.5)and freeze completely.

3.add cream mixture ice cubes back into blender and blend.a lot.until very smooth and creamy.stick blender in freezer about 2-3 hours.

4.it won't be completely frozen at this point,quite soft still.turn blender on again and whip/blend the mixture around until very smooth and creamy.will look like a super thick milkshake going round.

5.pour mixture into an airtight container(i used a plastic one that i bought something in bulk in once) and put in freezer.let freeze a lot.i left mine for about
6.5 hours and was good and frozen enough when i went to eat some.you can check earlier,but it might still be very soft.

this stuff is soo good.and it doesn't freeze rock solid-it freezes like good ice cream does,where if i apply a lot of pressure from the sides of the container i don't feel like my hand will break off.

i love you mimiccreme!
but do you think this might work as well with coconut milk/soy creamer?i might just try.

MORE danishes?!

made these for an earthsavecanada potluck tonight.when i got home i saw this posted on their message board from denise:

"This isn't strictly an "Ask Evan" post. It is a statement that anyone who hasn't tried Evan's vegan danishes has simply not lived. There is no chance in hell I could keep my weight under 200 pounds if those danishes were readily available. So I'm not sure if it is a good idea to ask for the recipe. Hmmm :roll:"

and nancy:
"I'm not sure they should be called danishes, though. They were way tastier than any danish I've ever had!"
