Egg Nog Ice Cream

This recipe is non dairy and is from Dreena Burton.  She has a great cookbook, Eat Drink and Be Vegan.




Egg-Nog Ice Cream

2 1/2 cups non-dairy egg nog (brand of choice, I use “So Nice”)
3/4 cup + 2 tbsp regular (not light) coconut milk (using cream on top)
1/2 cup raw cashews
2/3 cup unrefined granulated sugar (see note)
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/8 tsp sea salt
1/8 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 tsp guar gum (optional, see note)

In a blender, add all ingredients and puree until very, very smooth, scraping down sides of blender as needed (see note).  Transfer mixture to an ice-cream maker (following directions of specific model), and churn until mixture is soft-serve consistency.

Five Loaves Rice Cream

3/4 c cashew nuts
1/2 c cooked brown rice (when I have leftover rice I freeze it and then use it in this recipe)
1/2 c pitted dates
1/2 c honey or fruit juice sweetener
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp xanthan gum
2 c water
1 tray ice cubes, about 3 handfuls
2-4 T cocoa

Blend all the ingredients except ice cubes in a blender until very smooth. May take up to two minutes.  There should be no grittiness when a drop of misture is felt between your thumb and finger. 
Add ice cubes and blend smooth(speeds up chilling time).  Add more water as needed to make 5 cups total mix.
Pour into shallow container and freeze.  Whe ready to use, thaw slightly until just soft enough to cut into squares.  Place in a blender with enough soy or almond milk or water to blend into the consistency of soft ice cream)
Spoon into containers as soon as the mix is done.
Hint;  This will harden more int eh freezer than store bought hight fat brands. To serve, thaw slightly in the microwave or throw in the blender with a little water or milk.
