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!

Focus: Recognizing GOD as the Source of Light and Life. In the spirit of a fresh start and your commitment to the Book of Remembrance, we look to the foundational truth of the Tanakh: "YAH is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? YAH is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?" — Psalm 27:1 Just as the sun rises to break the hold of the night, the instruction of the Almighty serves as the ultimate "New Beginning" for the soul. To recognize Him as the Source of Light is to acknowledge that no matter how deep the shadows of the past may be, His Truth provides the path forward. Morning (Hearing Heart):  Almighty YAH, as the light of the sun breaks over the horizon, I recognize You as the Source of all Life. I thank You for the breath that enters my lungs and the Spirit that awakens my (Hearing Heart). Today, let my life be a mirror of Your righteousness to all whom I encounter. May I seek the Light of Your Statutes above the 'neon' distractio...

Our history didn't start on a slave ship, and our identity isn't a mystery - it’s just been tucked away like an old family secret waiting for the right generation to uncover it. Sometimes the most important parts of who we are get buried under layers of someone else's story, but the truth of our lineage has a way of calling out to us, even across the oceans and through the years. We’ve been told our past is a blank slate, but if you look closely at the path our ancestors walked, you’ll see the footprints of a people who knew exactly who they were long before they were told they were nobody. A Call to Remembrance (Introduction) (To be read with a steady, rhythmic pace - like a heartbeat) Look at your hands. Look at your family, friends, neighbors, etc., who call themselves Black Americans, African-Americans, etc. For a long time, we were taught that our history was a series of curses - that we ended up here because of a specific curse - GOD cursed Ham (Genesis 9:25), which i...

In the spirit of the Firstfruits , where we acknowledge the Giver before we enjoy the gift, this prayer is designed to center your heart on the "Undivided Devotion" to Our GOD and Our Hebrew Heritage. It weaves the physical need for bread with the spiritual reality of the Covenant. A Note on the 'Salt of the Covenant': In the Tanakh, every grain offering was to be seasoned with salt (Leviticus 2:13). As you pray this, remember that you are the 'salt' of this earth. Your gratitude preserves the holiness of the meal, turning a common act into a priestly service. The Meal Blessing | The Prayer of the Firstfruit Almighty YAH, Creator of the heavens, the earth, the seas, and all therein, I stand before You in the 'midst' of Your provision.

May it bring health to my bo...
