Eeeeek!
Y’all, there was salad on my blog yesterday. Salad.
What’s a salad doing on a dessert blog? Never fear, dear readers, I have the perfect remedy for this: ice cream! (Well, maybe the perfect remedy would be chocolate mousse pie. But ice cream is a close second. And I promise to work on that pie!)
I finally tried a mint-chocolate chip version of the Volume Ice Cream.
It was just as delicious as I imagined. I’ll try to get the recipe post up next week. In the meantime, I thought I’d highlight a few of the variations I’ve already blogged about. Some of these posts are from over a year ago, so it was really fun for me to see my evolving photo skills!
When I posted this recipe, I actually called it “peanut butter frozen hot cocoa” but the method is the same as that of the volume ice cream.
This one’s from a long time ago, and I probably need to re-visit the recipe. I’m going to work on turning it into a healthy “Starbucks Frappuccino” recipe.
Peanut butter and banana: always a classic. And I think this was one of the first-ever photos I took after learning you’re not supposed to use flash with food photography.
Also known as Frozen Hot Chocolate. Another recipe I need to re-visit. There are just too many!
Ice Cream Notes:
This ice cream—when made with almond milk—has a very light texture (perfect for summer). But if you want a texture that mimics the richness of true ice cream, you can still get that with this recipe. Just use coconut milk (the kind that comes in a can) as your non-dairy milk.
Also, if you don’t have a high-powered blender like a Vita-Mix, you can still make these recipes. They will just be more like a Wendy’s Frosty than ice cream, in terms of texture.
Hi Katie! I did a mocha- chocolate and a matcha (green tea) idea, in the form of a slushie (my blender isn’t too great) and BOTH were delicious, though I preferred the former. I posted a couple of pictures and linked your recipe! 😀

Awww so beautiful! And green! Love it 🙂
Katie – your photography has seriously improved leaps and bounds! I’m just catching up on all the blogs I had to put on the back burner for so long. I’m amazed with what you have done here on your blog. I wish I had the time to really sit down and figure out how to get mine to where I want it to be. And I wish I had a Vita-Mix so I could try out your ice cream creations 😉
Wow, Marianne, coming from you that is the BIGGEST compliment! As I’ve told you many times, YOUR photography skills are incredible and I have always admired them.
Also, all your recent comments make me smile!!
And p.s. I was SOOOOOOO rooting for your team and was super-upset when they lost 🙁 🙁
