I Just made some tasty soy ice cream! I have the base recipe, and then suggestions for flavors. The sky is the limit though!
Soy Ice Cream
2 1/2 C. Vanilla soy milk
1 block extra firm silken tofu
1 1/2 C. sugar
2 tsp. vanilla extract
Blend in a blender until smooth. All flavorings need to be strong as soy takes on the flavors.
Vanilla - Add at least 2 more tsp. vanilla extract or fresh vanilla bean
Pumpkin - 3 C. pureed pumpkin, 2 tsp. cinnamon, 2 tsp. nutmeg, 2 tsp. ginger, 1 tsp. allspice. Can add crushed graham crackers after the ice cream is frozen to really make it pumpkin pie.
Chocolate - 1/2 C. cocoa powder, and 1/2 C. more sugar.
Vegan Caramel Popcorn
25 large marshmallows
2 C. brown sugar
1/4 C. light corn syrup
1 C. butter flavored vegetable shortening
1 tsp. vanilla
7oz. popped popcorn
Melt marshmallows with the other top 5 ingredients in a sauce pan. (About 5-7 min.) Pour over popcorn and stir to coat. Topping stays soft!
