Vegan Lavender Almond Raspberry Ice Cream
I love making my own home made ice cream! It’s so fun to just think of a flavor and then be able to make it and put into it whatever you want at the time! Since we are still in prime hot weather ice cream season, I decided to whip up a batch last weekend! […]
Vegan Key Lime Pie Raspberry Ice Cream
We are almost into summer and it’s been pretty warm here the last few weeks, so I am definitely craving ice cream! I could just go buy some vegan ice cream at the store, but I really enjoy making my own unique flavors. Last weekend I was thinking something citrusy sounded good, so I made […]
Vegan Maple Pecan Ice Cream
It might be almost fall, but I am still completely in the mood for ice cream! It is still hot here after all, and I love ice cream year round even if it wasn’t. I decided last weekend I wanted to make some of my own home made ice cream, because it sounded good and […]
Vegan Peach Almond Ice Cream
I have been buying lots of peaches lately because they are amazing right now! I am mostly just eating them as is, but I was thinking of how delicious they would be in some ice cream as well! It was hot and humid last week, so it was the perfect time to make and enjoy […]
Vegan Tahini Date Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream
Last week was definitely a week for ice cream! It was hot and humid every day, and in the 90s and I felt like I was sweating all day from working out in the morning, being hot in the kitchen at work and driving home in a hot car. So I decided some ice cream […]
Vegan Chocolate Dipped Maple Peanut Butter Ice Cream Pops
We have been all about the ice cream lately. Why not, since it is the peak of summer! I have been enjoying mostly the scoopable variety of ice cream. But Eric bought some chocolate dipped peanut butter ice cream popsicles at the store, and they sounded so good that I decided to make my own, […]
Vegan Roasted Strawberry Rhubarb Ice Cream
Strawberries and rhubarb together is one of my all time favorite combos! Ever since I first tried my Grandma’s strawberry rhubarb sauce when I was little that she made with the rhubarb growing in her back yard I was a fan. That stuff was so simple, just strawberries, rhubarb and sugar. It was so good! […]
6 Ingredient Vegan Pumpkin Spice Ice Cream
I am a little obsessed with pumpkins and all things fall right now. I already have a bunch of pumpkin decor, mainly glass and ceramic ones, but I just bought another one, and then I also bought some cute mini pumpkins because I have been walking past them on display at work and they were […]
Vegan Raspberry Rose Gelato
It has been really hot and humid here in Minnesota lately and I couldn’t think of anything more lovely than some home made cooling ice cream, so I decided to make some yesterday! Although popsicles and granitas are delicious and light, I really wanted some rich and creamy more along the lines of gelato. Like […]
Vegan Brownie Caramel Ice Cream Cake
It has been warm every day here in Minnesota, and although I am somewhat getting used to it, ice cream still always sounds good. I like a dish of regular ice cream, but this week I decided that what sounded really good was an ice cream cake! I always loved Dairy Queen ice cream cakes […]
5 Ingredient Vegan Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream
I love enjoying any type of berries in the summer! Local are best, and picking them yourself is even better! I went berry picking several times with Eric on our trip to Michigan a few years back, and they were honestly the best berries I have ever tasted. That was at a farm, but here […]
Vegan Ginger Carrot Ice Cream
Ever since I bought an ice cream maker years ago, I have pretty much always made my own ice cream at home instead of buying store bought. Because not only can I make sure good quality ingredients go into it, it is also fun to make my own flavors and there is nothing like home […]
Vegan Rosewater Peach Ice Cream
There is nothing like a perfectly ripe flavorful summer peach! I have been enjoying a lot of them lately, because my Dad gifted Eric and I a case. Although they are amazing on their own, I thought they would be amazing in some desserts as well. So I made a peach galette and some Rosewater […]
Vegan Blueberry Lavender Ice Cream
I have been eating so many berries lately. Mostly because it is summer and I feel berry deprived the rest of the year and because I bought a large amount. Berries are not something that is bad to eat a ton of though, why not get your daily antioxidants the natural way, right?! I wanted […]
Vegan Mocha Caramel Ice Cream
It has been a bit warm here lately, so I have been in the mood for frozen desserts and ice cream! Rather than buy it at the store, I make mine at home because it can be spendy there and I like to use more natural ingredients in mine like dates instead of […]
Vegan Neapolitan Ice Cream Cake
I always liked neapolitan ice cream. It seemed kind of fancy with its 3 flavors layered together and it meant that you didn’t have to simply choose one flavor of ice cream which was always hard for me. But I haven’t seen any vegan neapolitan ice cream for sale, so I thought I would make […]
Vegan Pumpkin Spice Latte Ice Cream
I know a lot of people hate all of the hype of pumpkin spice lattes, and I get it. There are many chain coffee shops that just use a mix that doesn’t even contain real pumpkin and isn’t that good. But once you have had one at a coffee shop that makes their own artisan […]
Vegan PB and J Ice Cream Sandwiches
It has been quite steamy outside here in Minnesota lately, so it is the perfect time to enjoy cool treats like ice cream! I have been wanting to make some, and Eric and I had been watching a video on YouTube about this place that makes all sorts of different ice cream sandwiches, and it […]
Vegan Black Sesame Maple Ice Cream
I am a big tahini lover, I like to keep some on hand at all times for recipes both sweet and savory, or just for drizzling over things and snacking on. We have a giant tub of it in the deli I work in for making things like hummus, and one time my coworker stated […]
Pumpkin Spice Hazelnut CBD Ice Cream Pops
Fall may be here, but it is still pretty warm outside so I am still in the mood for ice cream treats. So I thought, why not make some fall flavored ones?! I have been making a lot of apple and pear stuff lately, so this time I made pumpkin. Plus we are almost into […]
Vegan Maple Pecan Brownie Sundaes
A lot of restaurants have brownie sundaes on their menu. I have seen other people order them, but I have never actually had one of my own. One of the restaurants I went to this year for my Birthday had a brownie sundae that came free if it was your birthday, but it wasn’t vegan […]
Vegan Peanut Butter and Jelly Ice Cream
It was really warm here in Minnesota last weekend. We really haven’t had any hot weather yet this year until now (we have been lucky), but now that we are almost to the 4th of July it is about time. I was day dreaming about some delicious cold ice cream on one of my runs […]
Vegan Mocha Hazelnut CBD Ice Cream Pops
I am in an ice cream sort of mood lately. It is feeling more like Summer here now, and almost every time I go running I get home and I think to myself, ice cream sounds really good right about now. Too bad I usually have to go to work so there is no time […]
Vegan Chocolate Dipped Raspberry Lavender Ice Cream Pops
Warmer weather is approaching and they said it was supposed to be nice last weekend so I figured I would make some ice cream. Not the scoop-able kind though, some ice cream popsicles! I love that they are portable, and easily shareable and it is always nice to be able to take them along on […]
Vegan Cookies and Cream Ice Cream
Cookies and cream ice cream was one of my favorites when I was a kid. My Dad usually had it on hand in his refrigerator and it was perfect for layering up with the other flavors for a giant sundae. He used to let me make whatever I wanted, no matter the sugar content or […]
Baked Stuffed Apples with Cinnamon Ice Cream
Apple pie may be the most popular apple dessert, but you know what else is delicious? Baked apples. Not only that, they are a little bit lighter option with all of the same delicious apple flavor. There was a time back in my early 20s that I made baked apples and pears all the time […]
Vegan Bourbon Peach Ice Cream
I have been really into the berries this Summer, but what I have really been craving lately are some peaches! They are not something that grows local here, but this is the time of the year when you can get the really good ones, so when I find some, I have to get them. A […]
Vegan CBD Mint Chip Ice Cream Pops
It was super hot and humid in Minnesota last weekend. We have had a few big thunderstorms, and then when the sun came back out it just brought more of the humidity into the air. I went on a long 28 mile bike ride and I felt like I had jumped into a pool when […]
Vegan Strawberry Jalapeno Gelato
Although I have my favorite ice cream flavors that I make again and again, I will never tire of coming up with new ones. I have over 100 ice cream recipes on my blog already but why stop there? Keeps it interesting for me at least. Once you get your own ice cream maker, it […]
Vegan Peppermint Swirl Ice Cream Cake
I know it is Winter, and it is chilly outside, but I still love to enjoy ice cream when I am home and all nice and warm in my pjs. So, I still make ice cream year round, because it is fun to come up with new and exciting flavors, and I need something to […]
Vegan Hazelnut Coffee Ice Cream with Fudge Swirl
I used to drink lots of coffee when I was in college. Like 3 32 oz tall mugs every morning. Don’t worry, I don’t anymore, I have adopted one large matcha tea instead. I don’t know why I drank that much coffee, it was just a habit, and it tasted good and was warming and […]
Vegan Roasted Banana Caramel Ice Cream
We all get over-ripe bananas on our counters from time to time, and although you can make banana bread or smoothies, I decided to make some ice cream last week with mine. I know you can make banana nice cream and use just bananas, I think the texture is a little light for me when […]
Chocolate Covered Cherry Ice Cream Pops
The truth is I hated chocolate covered cherries growing up. You know, the ones that ooze sweet syrupy white goo when you bite into them, and a cherry so red it can’t possibly be the real color? My Grandma would give us kids each a big box of chocolates on Holidays, and I always tried […]
Vegan Maple Bourbon Caramel, Fudge and Bacon Ice Cream Sundae
I always see these outrageous ice cream sundaes full of decadent ingredients on Instagram and Pinterest, so I was inspired to make my own. I have always loved the idea of a Sundae. I would have a small mudslide sundae at Dairy Queen when I was little, and I thought it was the bomb. That […]
Vegan Turtle Ice Cream Cake
I have been seeing a lot of turtles around here lately. They are out in full force sunning themselves on logs, laying eggs, and crawling across the grass. I saw 3 large snapping turtles laying eggs on one of my runs last week. I recently read an article about how to help them cross the […]
Vegan Toasted Almond Raspberry Ripple Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
When I was little, I always loved going to ice cream places with many flavors. You know, the shops that sold purely ice cream, and had at least 20-30 flavors at a time to choose from. It was always exciting to eyeball all of them, and imagine what they would taste like. Maybe asking for […]
Vegan Peanut Butter Fudge Ice Cream Sundae
My Mom brought me a bag of Spanish peanuts from Trader Joes, and asked me if I would make her a vegan Peanut Buster Parfait. Of course I couldn’t resist, because I love veganizing things. If you have never heard of a Peanut Buster Parfait, it is a sundae from Dairy Queen with vanilla soft serve, […]
Golden Chai Coconut Milk Gelato
You would think I would stop with the ice cream making now that the temperatures are falling a little, and Fall is here. Nope! I love ice cream, and truth be told I even have to keep a supply on hand in the Fall and Winter to go with things like fruit pies and crisps which […]
Vegan Pumpkin Spice Caramel Ice Cream
This time of the year gets me excited. It makes me happy to be able to wake up on a cool morning, run through the crunchy leaves, eat some warm oatmeal when I get home and drink a warm matcha latte while dreaming up some fall baking recipes. That is my ideal weekend morning actually. Don’t even […]
Vegan Vanilla Cheesecake Ice Cream with Blueberry Jam Swirl
What does one do with 3 lbs of blueberries? Eat them all in a big bowl and end up like Violet Beauregarde in Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and turn into a giant blueberry? To be completely honest after seeing that movie as a kid, I always thought about that scene of the movie when […]
Vegan Toasted Almond Fudge Ripple Ice Cream
So, I ran my first race in a year last weekend. It was actually only my second in 4 years (after previously running about 20 a year), because I took a long time off of running in races after a string of injuries that had me feeling burnt out about it. I have still been […]
Vegan Coffee Caramel Peanut Butter Ice Cream
There was a point in time where I drank coffee in the morning like it was water. I would have 3 32 oz mugs before noon from the time I was in college until about 4 years ago. I liked coffee, but I always drank it so fast (because I am busy most mornings) that […]
5 Ingredient Vegan Mango Almond Cardamom Ice Cream
It was super hot the last part of this week in Minnesota where I live. Like the type of heat that when you walk outside your hair frizzes, your mascara starts running, and your armpits decide to cleanse their pores by sweating profusely. Also, so humid that you feel like it is extra effort to […]
6 Ingredient Vegan Chocolate Fudge Gelato
For most of my life I have been a vanilla girl. It was always vanilla cupcakes over chocolate, vanilla cheesecake over chocolate mousse cake, and vanilla ice cream over chocolate any day. I don’t know if maybe the chocolate was just too intense for me when I had a good sized piece of dessert with […]
Vegan Galaxy Berry Swirl Ice Cream
I wanted to make a red, white and blue ice cream for the 4th, but I never thought that I would end up with a beautiful galaxy ice cream. Most of the time in my kitchen, recipes sort of go like this. It is an experiment, I am not exactly sure how it will turn […]
Vegan Matcha Mint Chip Ice Cream
There is nothing more refreshing to me than mint lately. My favorite thing to do after a workout or being in the hot sun is to take a bath with peppermint oil, or use my home made peppermint body spray after. It is so cooling and it smells amazing. Another favorite refreshing thing, iced matcha […]
5 Ingredient Vegan Blackberry Hazelnut Ice Cream
When I bought an ice cream maker about 10 years back, I had no idea how much I would use it. But I ended up using it almost every week for a few years. I originally bought it because I wanted to create healthier ice cream than the store bought that wasn’t full of weird […]
5 Ingredient Vegan Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream
It was really hot and sticky last Monday. I went out for a walk in the afternoon, and when I got home, I felt like I had been dipped into a stinky pond. I took a refreshing bath laced with peppermint oil, and that helped to cool me down, but I also decided that I […]
5 Ingredient Vegan Salted Caramel Ice Cream
It has been really warm here lately, more like Summer weather than Spring. I think it is mostly the humidity, and it does wonders for plants but it makes me overheated and craving things like ice cream. So, I decided that I needed to make ice cream. I used to make ice cream every week, […]
Raw Tag Along Blizzard
Last Sunday Eric wanted me to make him some sort of frozen treat, and I happened to have some raw tag along cookies in my freezer, so I thought, why not make a tag along blizzard? He loves this sort of thing, sweet stuff stirred into ice cream. But this is way healthier than your […]
Vegan Tag-Along Ice Cream
Next to samoa Girl Scout cookies, tag alongs were always a favorite. I have never been able to resist peanut butter and chocolate. I have made raw tag along cookies, but this year I decided to bake some, and they turned out delicious. I made some buttery tasting drop cookies that reminded me of shortbread […]
Simple Vegan Vanilla Maple Sweet Corn Ice Cream
I was given loads of fresh corn in my CSA box this week and I was trying to think of creative uses for it. I love to just eat it raw and plain sometimes, and so does Eric. The organic local varieties are so sweet and delicious without anything on them. Because they are sweet, […]
40 Vegan Ice Cream Recipes
I love ice cream year round, but this is the time of the year when I really, really, really appreciate it. There is nothing like enjoying a bowl of cool ice cream on a hot Summer day to cool off. There was a point in time I made an ice cream recipe a week. And, […]
Vegan Chocolate Mint Gelato
It has been quite warm here lately which has me thinking about ice cream a lot. Not that I don’t like ice cream year round, because I enjoy it in the winter too, but now nice cool desserts sound amazing after coming inside from a hot humid day, or working in a hot kitchen. I […]
Raw Tutti Frutti Ice Cream
Sprout Living was kind enough to send me some more of their Green Kingdom Epic Protein powder to use in recipes. In case you didn’t catch my other post about it a few months back, this stuff is awesome! Honestly, it is my all time favorite protein powder. It is delicious as well as packed […]
Raw Green Tea Ice Cream with Strawberry Swirl
When I was enjoying a cup of warm matcha recently, I admired the lovely green color in my mug and I thought, how lovely would it be to make a matcha ice cream with a strawberry swirl? The green contrasting the red, and the earthy matcha paired with the sweet berries. I had to make […]
Raw Banana Almond Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream
Sprout Living was kind enough to send me some of their protein powder samples to try out and create recipes with. I was super excited because being as active as I am protein powders are always something I use. I love them in smoothies, but I sneak them into other recipes as well. Their […]
Vegan Double Cookie Dough Blizzard and Zimt Artisan Chocolate Giveaway!
Emma over at Zimt Artisan Chocolates was kind enough to send me a few samples to try. Dark Chocolate Baking Pieces, which I made some Vegan Banana Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cupcakes with, as well as some Double Chocolate Macaroons, and Cookie Dough Cups. They were all amazing! If you have never checked out Emma’s […]
Pretty In Pink Ice Cream Sundae
Since I was a child, I have always been attracted to all things pink. It is just a happy color! Things have not changed now that I am 27. I wanted a pink Birthday cake this year, and it was pink, inside and out! So when I saw a challenge on Sweetly Raw to create a […]
