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.
Love the new header – it looks very CLEAN and neat…I love that. 🙂 Yay for coffee ice cream!
I love the new layout and your new header is very pretty! Although I personally don’t think your diet is that strange..but as a gluten free vegan, most people think I’m weird, so maybe I have a biased view haha.
I wish I had a Vita mix! They’re so expensive though..I saw it at costco the other day for 500 dollars (which I think is the usual price for it) and I was sad to have to slowly pass it by. Oh well. I’ll stick to small-time blenders for now. Mine is not good for making ice cream, but at least I can still do smoothies.
Have a good weekend Katie!
I’m in love with your new layout! I’m going to try such ice cream, this weekend i have a freezer to use, yippee!!
Yeah the layout looks good! I really like the header-it’s a lot cleaner than the last one.
I have to try the ice cream method, though! I’ve never thought of doing that before. I might try strawberry ice cream…
Coffee ice-cream…I NEED you. I have been off the caffeine for a while now, but I could so make this with decaf. Thanks Katie, and I love the new header because I get to see your cute face, and the tagline is great!!!
PS – I think coffee ice-cream would go quite well cookie dough fudge babies. 🙂
*WITH cookie dough fudge babies. 😉
The header’s so freakin cute 🙂
I love the new layout! But, I don’t see what’s so “strange” about your diet 😉
Erika, unfortunately…the vita is a *little* too powerful to do food-processor stuff. If you’re making pesto, grinding nuts into nut flour, or something like that…I’d go with a food processor!
loooove coffee 🙂
the new layout is great. i like the “strange diet, normal life.” 🙂
Oh, now we are talking! Coffee ice cream! I have been craving it from the hot weather. Besides, another way to consume as much coffee as possible in a day! YUM!
