(#63) HEMP: More Vegan Deliciousness!

We haven't made enough vegan flavors! We're trying to make it more of a priority, especially because we've had only positive feedback for both our Coconut Almond Carob Chip and our new Hemp Ice Cream!  You can count on a few more vegan flavors in the very near future! 

For this recipe we used hulled hemp seeds (blended with agave nectar) and coconut milk and cream as a base.  It was a pleasantly surprising success! 

Scoopsies' Vegan Hemp Ice Cream

(yields 1 pint)

14oz. coconut cream

1 1/2 cups coconut milk

1/2 cup hemp seeds

1/4 cup agave nectar

1/8 cup cane sugar

1/4 tsp guar gum
1 tsp vanilla extract

(#44) COCONUT: Palm Treats

The key ingredient in our version of coconut ice cream? Palm sugar.  It gives this flavor its attractive light brown color and perfectly finishes off the coconut flavor.  This is the forth flavor in our asian "collection." 

Scoopsies' Coconut Ice Cream

(yields about 1.5 pints) 
14 oz. can of coconut cream

1 cup coconut milk

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup palm sugar

2 cups shredded coconut

4 egg yolks

pinch of salt

(#32) COCONUT ALMOND CAROB CHIP: Virgin Attempt at Vegan Ice Cream

One thing both halves of Scoopsies strive for is to make delicious ice cream for everyone. We have a long way to go but we want to be able to make ice cream for any diet restriction. One of my all-time favorite ice creams is J.P. Lick's Coconut Almond Chip. Attempting this flavor using coconut cream as the base (like the vegan ice cream spot FoMu) seemed like a breeze. We we're right. This first attempt came out so creamy that most would be surprised to hear there is no dairy. We can't wait to come up with more recipes for our vegan line!
