To everyone who lamented their lack of Vita-Mixes:
Most of yesterday’s Vita-Mix Ice Cream tips are just as useful for regular blenders or food processors! So you don’t have to be left out in the cold; you, too, can get cold inside, with vegan ice cream! Ice cream such as the one below:
3 Ingredient Coffee Ice Cream
(Serves 1)
- 1 cup milk of choice  (You can use creamer or canned coconut milk if you want a creamier ice cream)
- 1 tsp instant coffee (such as Mount Hagan brand)
- Sweetener of choice, to taste
- optional: 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
In a cup, mix the coffee powder and sweetener into the milk. Pour into an ice cube tray or shallow container. Freeze. Blend in your Vita-Mix, blender, or food processor, and scoop out with an ice cream scoop. (It’s much more ice-cream–like if you have a Vita.) Optional: add chocolate chips.
@Erica,
I DO use my Vita-Mix like a food processor! I make fudge babies in it ALL THE TIME :).
And I make salsa in it. If you keep it on low, it does a good job of chopping the tomatoes.
I haven’t used it as a juicer, but I’ve heard you can!
I make juice in my Vita! You can do it! 🙂
