Vegan Chocolate Ice Cream

Bev and Joe got me this wonderful Cuisinart ice cream maker. It's one of the greatest inventions ever! I like that I can explore different flavors, and my favorite thing about this ice cream maker is that I can easily make ice cream for my 2nd daughter, who is allergic to dairy. I've tried a couple of soy and coconut-based iced creams for her.

Here's a simple chocolate ice cream receipt that I use, adapted from the Cuisinart recipe booklet:

Ingredients:
  • 3/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 cup soy milk
  • 2 cups Silk vanilla soy creamer
  • 1/2 tablespoon of vanilla extract (if I want to make a mint ice cream, use 1 teaspoon vanilla and 2 teaspoons of mint extract)

Directions:
  1. In medium bowl, whisk together cocoa, sugars, and salt.
  2. Add milk and use hand mixer on low speed, or whisk to combine everything until all dried ingredients are dissolved.
  3. Stir in soy creamer and vanilla
  4. Put in fridge overnight
  5. Turn on ice cream maker and churn for 15 min.
    1. Note- can add ~1/2 cup-1 cup of vegan chocolate chips, or Lorna vegan shortbread cookies in last 5 min of churning.  
  6. Stick back in freezer for better texture.
