Vanilla ice cream

Homemade ice cream is the best! This one has an intens vanilla-taste,  but if you want another taste, feel free to add chocolate chips, cocoa powder, berries, fruit, peanut butter etc.
The ice cream come out soft serve, if you want it more firm, put it in the freezer for about 20-30 minutes before serving. 

Vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce

RECIPE
1 packet silken tofu
2 dl soy milk
About 1 dl powdered sugar, or more if it's needed (taste the ice cream before putting it in the machine)
125 ml oil
Dash salt
1 tbsp vanilla sugar or 1 tsp pure vanilla

Squeeze out the water from the tofu and put it in a food processor together with all the other ingredients. Blend it smooth and put it in the fridge for 30 minutes. Then, take out the ice cream maker and make the ice cream. With my machine it takes about 20 minutes.

Raw banana whip - several flavors

Bananas are good for you, but did you know they also make great ice cream? They are sweet and delicious, and you can actually make fantastic soft-serve ice cream in minutes if you have some frozen bananas in your freezer! And it's completely raw. Add some pure vanilla and/or some raw cocoa powder, and it's still natural and raw! :)

Remember, it's all up to you which flavors you want to add in this banana ice cream. You can add frozen raspberries, strawberries, peaches, mangos, blueberries, raw chocolate chips, you name it! But the banana flavor itself is really good.

RECIPE
2 large frozen bananas per person (peel them, cut them in 3-4 pieces and freeze them)
Maybe a little cold water
Actually, this is all you need! This will make sweet soft-serve ice cream! Add frozen berries, cocoa powder, vanilla or another flavor if you want.

Put the bananas in the blender and pulse until they are all chopped up. Add some cold water while blending, until it's smooth. Be careful not to add too much water.

That's all! Enjoy!

Just bananas!

Raw cocoa powder

Raspberries

Strawberries

Ice cream with chocolate and coconut

This ice cream is really creamy and wonderful because of the coconut cream in it. And with the ice cream maker, you can make it in half an hour!

RECIPE
1 large can (400 ml) of coconut milk that has been in the fridge for at least 1 hour
1 packet of vegan whipping cream (250 ml or so)
50 grams melted vegan chocolate
Powdered sugar until it's sweet enough for your taste (about 1-2 dl?)

When you let the coconut milk-can stand in the fridge for an hour or two, the rich, creamy white stuff will separate from the watery milk. You will use only the coconut cream in this ice cream. The water can be used in Bounty cupcakes.

Put the coconut cream in the food processor together with the remaining ingredients and blend it smooth. Taste it and add more powdered sugar if you want it more sweet.

Put the cream in the fridge for half an hour or more, so it's really ice cold when you put it in the ice cream maker. Take the machine out of the freezer and add the cream while the machine is on. When finished, it should take 30-40 minutes or maybe a little less, take out the ice cream and serve it, or put it in the freezer for 20 minutes if you want it a little harder. 
Serve it with some delicious vegan chocolate sauce.

Strawberry ice cream

Delicious on a hot summer day!  The cone is not vegan, so I didn't eat that myself.

 

RECIPE

3-400 grams fresh strawberries, rinsed

3 dl soy milk ( I used vanilla soy milk but regular is fine too)

1 box of vegan whipping cream (I use Oatly Visp, it's about 250 ml)

0,5 - 1 dl powdered sugar

A dash of vanilla, if you haven't used vanilla soy milk (optional, of course)

Throw it all in the food processor and blend it smooth. Put it in the fridge for about 30 minutes, and then put it in the ice cream maker until it's ready. 

Chocolate ice cream

I just bought an ice cream maker, and I totally love it! This recipe was made without the machine, though, it was before I bought it. And it was GOOD, so you don't have to have a machine, but it definitly makes the consistancy even better. You can make all kinds of vegan ice creams at home. That's good to know, especially for us Norwegians who can't get even half of the vegan sortiment people in USA or a lot of other countries can get in the stores.

RECIPE

1 box silken tofu
250 ml soyamilk
125 ml oil (without taste, I use sunflower-oil)
100 gram powdered sugar
1 tbsp vanilla sugar
Little dash of salt

Blend everything in a food processor until smooth. Taste it, is it sweet enough? Add more sugar if you want.

Pour the ice cream into a container, I use an empty old ice cream container. Put it in the freezer for about 30 minutes.

Take it out and give it a good stir. Put it into the freezer again and let it freeze completly. It should take a couple of hours. Take it out again and let it thaw for about 30 minutes and then put the ice cream into the food processor. Blend it until it has the consistency of a soft serve ice cream, put it into the container again and freeze it for a couple of hours. Take it out and serve it after about 10-15 minutes or so.
