VICE CREAM offers more than 70 scrumptious recipes for all the vegans out there whove been missing scoop after scoop of mouthwatering ice cream.

 Vice Cream rocks! September 29, 2008
This is a wonderful book! The recipes are simple and healthy, and my son who loved dairy products loves these recipes just as much as regular ice cream. This was the greatest find we've made in a long time! It was recommended by a nutritionist, and we're forever grateful!
 Great starting point September 28, 2008

What I love about this book:
~Proves you don't have to suffer an ice-cream-less existence just because you've given up dairy
~Gives great, healthful alternatives to sugar
~Lots of recipes to make you drool
What I don't love:
-The author is nit-picky about a lot of ingredients/details (i.e. organic cashews, alcohol-free vanilla flavor and alcohol-free almond flavor, "Sugar Loaf" pineapple, etc). Making suggestions to use these things is fine, but the book makes it seem mandatory. My husband & I do not use alcohol-free vanilla flavor nor do we use whole vanilla beans or og cashews, because the only alcohol-free vanilla flavor we can find contains sugar and vanilla beans and og cashews cost a small fortune. We don't think the alcohol inhibits the freezing enough to worry about it. And what is "Sugar Loaf" pineapple anyway? Never seen it.
-Doesn't give alternatives to things like "fresh coconut." What a pain! We buy a good quality canned coconut milk (Thai Kitchen Coconut Milk Brand is great and in this case we do find that the organic version is noticeably better) and have made ice-cream as good as Coconut Bliss.*
*Coconut Bliss: A coconut milk ice-cream made in Oregon, I don't know if it's available elsewhere, but it's super yummy).
-More cashew recipes than coconut milk recipes. We prefer coconut based ice-cream much better than the cashew ones, but you may disagree.
So in short use this book with a willingness to experiment & deviate from the ingredient lists. We're glad to have it and use it as reference and for ideas frequently, but it's no bible of vegan ice-cream. That's for sure.
PS. So far, the Chai is our favorite! We combine both cashews and coconut milk to make it and go heavy on the nutmeg (here fresh ground is best but the stuff in a jar is good too) and allspice and add vanilla. We want to try new flavors, but we keep going back to this one!
 Great Item If You're Made of Gold! May 20, 2008

This is a great item if you're wealthy. Where I live, Organic Cashews are $9.99/lb., Vanilla Beans are $9.00/2 beans, and Organic Maple Syrup is $6/8oz. By my limited math abilities, assuming 1/2 lb. Cashews, I'm paying $20 for a quart of Vanilla Ice Cream. It's really ... I mean REALLY got to be good for $20/quart! (God forbid you should mess up a batch!)

I highly recommend this book. The recipes are easy to follow and the end results are amazing. The first recipe I made was the strawberry rhubarb it was soooo good. Buy It, Try It, you will be glad you did.
good place to begin December 29, 2007

i got this because i should not eat dairy and we live in a place where it is hard to get ice cream and it's expensive. We've made the mint a few times and decided that it only needs a 1/4 cup of maple. We made the strawberry with whole berries rather than juicing them and it was very good, again it needs only a little syrup. When we get more ingredients for the other recipes we will try more. i am also experimenting with less cashews and adding rice dream "milk". (the cashews make it quite rich- a little more than my liking so i try to lower the amount.) It's great to be able to use many shelf stable items. I recommended the book to a friend who gave up dairy. They dug out the old ice cream maker for the first time in years and have enjoyed trying some of the yummy fruit vice cream recipes. Do not think this is a cheap home method to standard ice cream. but it is a great alternative for those who don't do dairy. I suggest experimenting to make things to your liking. would like to try almonds in place of cashews- has anyone tried that?
