Vegan Ice Cream!
Tuesday, September 09, 2014
Vegan Ice Cream by Jeff Rogers is one of the best books I've seen on non-dairy frozen treats. And believe me, I've looked at a lot of such books. I love all things ice cream. I've hardly met a flavor I didn't like. Rocky road, moose tracks, chocolate chip, vanilla, strawberry, pumpkin... I could go on and on. For years, ice cream was an evening staple in my diet. Until over a period of time, I became lactose intolerant and ultimately allergic to all things dairy. I could deal with no more milk, macaroni and cheese or cheesecake. The real kicker and the thing I still miss most is real, creamy ice cream. You can imagine my delight upon receiving the cookbook "Vegan Ice Cream"! An entire book full or ice cream flavors that I can eat?!? Yes, please.
It should be noted that all the recipes in this book do call for an ice cream maker. I don't know why I thought there might be some way to make this delicious dessert without such a machine. But never fear! That's when friends with ice cream makers come in handy, at least until I can find a good deal on a machine for my own kitchen! I have many fond memories of making homemade ice cream every summer on the 4th of July but my allergies threw a wrench in that summer staple. Whether you are an ice cream chef aficionado or just a novice ice cream lover, this book is exactly what you need. It walks you through all the basics such as sweeteners, nut milks, extracts, blending tips, serving and storing and it even gives advice on choosing an ice cream machine. From the classic vanilla and chocolate to the more adventurous Jalapeno Heaven and Coconut Macaroon flavors, this cook book has 35 ice cream and nearly 50 raw ice cream recipes that are just waiting to be tested and devoured.
With beautiful pictures and easy to follow instructions, this is a mouthwatering cook book that is sure to satisfy your craving for ice cream- even if you have to or choose to eat vegan. First up on my list? Pumpkin Ice Cream!
Though I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for the purposes of this review, the opinions are my own.
