Chocolate.
All other flavors are just pissing in the wind... | |

I think I should add orange zest and a bit of orange juice to it next time. | |

Posted: 10/16/2005 6:03:54 PM | Yep! I've got a bucket one with a hand crank. The inner bucket is actually a hollow metal one that has some sort of freezing gel inside of it. I stick the inner bucket in the freezer until it's frozen solid, and then I can pop that into the outer bucket and proceed to make ice cream. It's incredibly convenient since I don't need to use pounds of crushed ice and coarse salt!
The brand name is Donvier. I picked mine up at a garage sale for five bucks  | |

Now I just need to figure out a recipe for vegan vanilla and I'm all set.
here ya go hun ... made this for my son's ex gf's.
Non-Dairy Vanilla Ice Cream
(courtesty The Vegan Chef - Beverly Lynn Bennett)
2 cups water
3 tbsp.agar-agar flakes
2 - 12.3 oz. pkgs. Mori-Nu silken style tofu, extra firm
1-1/2 cups soy milk, rice milk, or other non-dairy milk of choice
1 cup unbleached cane sugar (or brown rice syrup or maple syrup), or to taste
2 tbsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. salt
In a small saucepan, place the water and agar-agar flakes, and simmer for 5 minutes to thoroughly dissolve the agar-agar flakes. Meanwhile, in a food processor, process the tofu to a smooth puree. Add the agar-agar mixture and the remaining ingredients, and process for 1-2 minutes or until very smooth and creamy. Taste and add additional sweetener or vanilla, if desired.
If you have an ice cream maker, transfer the mixture to the ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. Or, pour the mixture into a large shallow pan, and place it in the freezer. Stir the mixture every hour or so to give it a smooth texture. When completely frozen, remove it from the freezer, and allow it to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a food processor, process until smooth, and transfer the mixture to an airtight container. Return it to the freezer and freeze until solid. Serve as an accompaniment to cakes, pies, desserts, or as a refresher.
*Variation: if you don't mind the extra fat, adding a few tablespoons of a mild vegetable oil to the mixture before freezing will result in a rich and creamy texture. Feel free to experiment with the recipe by adding additional flavorings, or chopped fruit or nuts.

Posted: 10/16/2005 8:57:50 PM | | It's tough to beat the old-fashioned kind of ice cream maker where you add ice and salt and crank it. I have an elcetric version that does the trick but the batches are too small. Commercail brand favs include:BlueBell Homemade Vanilla, Haagen Dasz Chocolate Chocolate Chip, Honey Vanilla and Dulce de Lece, Ben&Jerry's Chunky Monkey, Chubby Hubby, and Cherry Garcia, Braum's Fresh Peach, Andy Frozen Yogurt(not low fat) | |

Posted: 1/2/2006 3:50:26 PM | | A company here called edaleens makes some good ice cream and excellent milk. You can actually taste the difference from dairygold and them.. They use no hormones and it is night and day with the taste and drinking other milk makes me sick now. A few months ago since this industrial took over making laws restricting them to what 10000 gallons a day in milk.. Corporate dairy products are a scam.. anyway they make some nice bubble gum flavored ice cream blue without the bubble gum chunks.. and some mean rocky road.. | |
