I Scream You Scream

So Greg and I have been talking about making ice cream at home for at least a year. We buy all of the vegan ice creams and love them, but they get expensive. Also it just seems fun to make it at home!  We don't have an ice cream maker, but my sister does! So... we're babysitting it for awhile.  I had a copy of VegNews magazine that had a bunch of vegan ice cream recipes in it and I can find about 142 other magazines around this house, but not that one!  So, I just Googled vegan ice cream recipes and found this blog with a few to try. I couldn't believe how easy this was!!  Four ingredients and 30 minutes later and we had ice cream!!  I would double the recipe if more than 2 people are going to be eating this ice cream. It was delicious!  Next time I'll try coconut milk, or maybe I'll crumble the Newman-O's into it.  It will be fun to come up with new combinations.  Greg has already suggested peach ice cream since they are in season right now. Mmmmm.
