Title: Easy Vegan Cookies & Cream "Ice Cream"
Post by: Sister on October 11, 2008, 11:11:33 AM
This works best with low fat soy milk, which will yield a slightly creamier than non-fat. Using vanilla soy milk will give you even more vanilla flavor. For the cookies, both Trader Joe's Jo-Jos and Newmans O's are vegan Oreo cookie look-alikes and would work well in this recipe. This recipe comes from: http://bakingbites.com


Vegan Cookies & Cream "Ice Cream"

Ingredients:

3 cups vanilla soy milk
5 tbsp cornstarch
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 vanilla bean, split
1/2 tsp almond extract
6-10 cookies (depending on how much cookie you want!)

Directions:

In a large saucepan, combine 2 1/2 cups vanilla soy milk, sugar and vanilla bean. Bring to a simmer, then scrape out the vanilla bean, stirring the seeds into the milk mixture, and discard the pod. Whisk cornstarch together with remaining 1/2 cup soy milk and pour into the hot vanilla milk mixture, while whisking constantly. Reduce heat to medium low and, stirring occasionally, cook until it has thickened and starts to bubble (3-5 minutes). Stir in almond extract.
Refrigerate until cold.
Crush cookies and add both cookies and chilled cream base into your ice cream maker and freeze according to directions.
Enjoy!
