Vegan Old-Fashioned Ice Cream

Indulge in the creamy, classic taste of old-fashioned ice cream, made entirely vegan. This recipe brings you all the rich flavor you remember, without any dairy.


Yields: About 4-6 servings

Prep time: 20 minutes

Chill time: 4 hours or overnight

Churn time: 20-25 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 cans (13.5 oz each) full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 cup raw cashews, soaked in boiling water for at least 1 hour, then drained
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened plant milk (almond, or oat)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Equipment:

  • Blender
  • Saucepan
  • Ice cream maker
  • Freezer-safe container

Instructions:

  1. Blend the base: In a high-powered blender, combine the soaked cashews, coconut milk, and plant milk. Blend until very smooth and creamy.
  2. Cook the mixture: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar and cornstarch. Gradually whisk in the blended cashew mixture until smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Chill: Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Pour the mixture into a heat-safe bowl and let it cool to room temperature. Then, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This step is crucial for achieving a creamy texture.
  4. Churn: Once the mixture is thoroughly chilled, pour it into your ice cream maker. Churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually for about 20-25 minutes, until it has a soft-serve consistency.
  5. Freeze: Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container. Press a piece of parchment paper directly onto the surface of the ice cream to prevent ice crystals from forming. Freeze for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.
  6. Serve: Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping and serving. Enjoy!

The Curses Fulfilled: African American Slavery and America's Unfinished Exodus

By -

  T he story of the Exodus is one of miraculous deliverance from slavery, plague, and systemic oppression. But what if the ultimate threat to a covenant people was not Pharaoh, but the  failure of their own heart ? Moses warned Israel on the plains of Moab: choose life, and blessing will pursue you; choose death, and the curses will hunt you down. Among the most chilling of these warnings in  Deuteronomy 28:15-68  is the prophetic horror of the  Full Inversion (Reversal) of the Exodus : that the delivered nation would, by its own choices, become the very thing they fled. The curse is not merely punishment; it is the  judicial undoing of the miracle of deliverance. Let’s unpack how these ancient prophecies found a devastating, literal fulfillment in the historical experience of  African American slavery in the USA , and how their echoes still shape our present. Key Point 1: The Literal Curse – Bondage in Ships (Deuteronomy 28:68) The most haunting proph...
