Vegan Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - Sugar & Satire

January 11, 2016

Are you sitting down?

I hope so. Because you're gonna freak when I tell you that you can get creamy, delicious ice cream without using any dairy.

The base of this ice cream is coconut milk, the kind that comes in a can, and cornstarch. That gives you the thickness and creaminess that you're used to getting from eggs and milk. Then you sweeten it up with your choice of sweetener, I used coconut sugar and agave nectar. Pop in some fresh vanilla bean seeds or some vanilla extract and you're good to go! 

I've made ice cream once before, a lemon-lavender one that was quite delicious. I searched around the internet for a recipe that was vegan friendly, but most of them involved frozen bananas. That wasn't the kind I was looking for, too healthy. But then I found this awesome base recipe from the kitchn, and tweaked it a little to suit my tastes.

It's smooth, rich and was pretty easy to make. Just make sure you've got an ice cream maker because that thing is gonna do most of the work for you. As with all recipes involving an ice cream maker, make sure you pop the bowl in the freezer the day before you want the ice cream.

Happy Friday my sweeties! I made a batch of Rice Krispy Treats the other day after I had a huge hankering for something sweet. Used gluten free puffed rice cereal, @mydandies marshmallows, @earthbalance vegan butter and @sweetapolita vegan sprinkles to make something really magical that’s totally vegan & gluten free! Yum yum. Are you baking anything this weekend? I’ve got a loaf of sourdough rising as we speak!
The clouds have cleared (for now at least) and I’ve spent the last few days feeling so thankful for the safe little life I’ve built for myself here in LA. If you had told me that this dream would be mine I wouldn’t have ever believed you. But I worked really hard and I had a lot of really bad days before I was able to appreciate what I have. If I spent the rest of forever baking little loaves of sourdough in my apartment and cozying up in my bedroom filled with natural light I’d be one happy lady. Feelin’ pretty sappy and just kinda soaking it all up ✨
Happy happy happy day my sweeties.
Hands down, my favorite recipe on my blog is this 30 minute chocolate brownie cake. It’s a recipe handed down to be my grandmother that I made dairy free with a few tweaks. It’s always a hit, and perfect for a crowd or even just for you 💕 Do you have any recipes that have been passed down in your family? I love reading about other family traditions!
