Loved the *ideas* in this book - so many amazing flavor mixtures! - but the processing just didn't jive with my ice cream maker... so, I will use it more for a flavor inspiration book, and then process in my own way (the way described in Veganomicon and using my VitaMix instead of heating the ingredients as described in this book). Each of the ice cream recipes in this book take a number of hours to make - at least three with cooling times. I prefer my method which is MUCH faster. However, I thi...more
Every recipe includes the same 3 ingredients - arrowroot flour, soy creamer, soymilk. This can get really annoying if one can't find a supermarket that carries arrowroot flour and is trying to make ice cream for someone who is allergic to soy.
Pretty much all of these recipes are the base with minor adjustments to flavors. Any of the recipes I tried, I didn't really like the taste or texture. Worth looking at if you borrow the book. I also noted a few errors in measurements in recipes.
This book has my go to chocolate chip cookie recipie. Im not vegan- i got the book for lactose free icre cream- but the cookie recipie is just the right texture i spent many a recipie looking for.
Mostly variations on a basic recipe, but the combinations sound great. I've already made two batches of dairy free ice cream, and can't wait to make more!
Good vanilla recipe. Almost every other recipe is a variation on this basic formula, which I suppose is as it should be... Gave plenty of fodder for new flavors, ingredients, and combinations.
Had a lot of issues with the recipes. Each one I tried had an issue with ingredient amounts or the recipe not working out.
I haven't tried many, but enough to know it's awesome! We use our ice cream ball!
I just made green tea ice cream. It's probably the best I've ever had, and it was soo much easier than i thought it would be. now to pair it with chocolate covered raspberries <3 this book
oh yeah, now we're talking
Gonna try a couple of these out next weekend.
We made the coffee ice cream yesterday and it was fantastic. Soooo much better than So Delicious.We added chocolate shavings and almonds...it stiffened up in the ice cream maker faster than cow's milk ice cream (which we were making only last year-so much has changed!)I love this book so far and look forward to the other recipes! Butter Pecan! New York Irish Cream! Pistachio! Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl! Almond Cookie!
I've made a few recipes from this book, and while they all tasted great, the consistency and texture are lacking, which may be my cheap ice cream maker or I need a better/different technique, like one reviewer mentioned. Simple recipes, but lots of different flavour combinations.
I don't have an ice cream maker and am too lazy (and not into ice cream enough) to make it manually, so I've only made the waffles from this cookbook - they are delicious.
Interesting flavor ideas - haven't tried any of them yet. Also, I enjoyed the little factoids in the margins.
