3 Vegan Ice Cream Recipes That Are Better Than The Real Thing

I remember when ice cream and macaroni and cheese were going to be the deal breaker.

If I couldn't find good replacements for these foods, I wasn't sure how long my vegan journey would last.

Fortunately, I was able to find So Delicious after testing out several vegan ice cream brands. It's creamy, the texture is similar to dairy ice cream and they come in so many delicious flavors.

It's addicting!

You can pick up a container of So Delicious for that ice cream fix or get in the kitchen and make your own using the recipes below.

A few tips about the recipes that require young Thai coconuts (which are found in the produce department) & lecithin powder (found in health food store or online):

  • Don't let opening the Thai coconut intimidate you. It took me a few times before I felt confident with handling this fruit.
  • Here's a great tutorial and here
  • Video for scraping out the meat
  • Lecithin powder is used to thicken ice cream and available at most health food stores or you can order it online 

If you don't have an ice cream maker (I bought a Cuisinart years ago for $20) you can just make the peanut butter chocolate chip ice cream (2nd recipe) which doesn't require one.

Let me know what you think once you try these recipes.
