Peanut Butter Banana Ice Cream from "The Vegan Scoop"
Is anyone tired of ice cream posts yet? I hope not, because I’m not tired of making the delicious recipes in The Vegan Scoop
Tonight, waiting for us in the freezer is Rocky Road Ice Cream, which will probably be my last official batch for the Cookbook Club. I’ve made carrot cake, chocolate peanut butter swirl (no image), cherries jubilee, peanut butter banana (above) and finally rocky road, which I’ll post by the end of the week. All were great and could rival any retail dessert in your grocer’s freezer.
Has anyone else made other flavors from this book? I’d be curious to know if anyone was brave enough to try some of the more exotic flavors, like sweet basil, wasabi, etc. I intended to make the sweet basil this weekend but accidentally used up all of my fresh basil for our dinner Saturday. 
I think hubby is getting a little tired of ice cream, so it’s time to start thinking about the next selection for the Cookbook Club. There are several contenders:
- Vegan on the Cheap
– Bought this book back in May but haven’t used it yet.
- The Adaptable Feast
– Have had this book for several months too, cooking only one recipe thus far.
- How It All Vegan!
– Received from a great site called paperbackswap.com. Have only flipped through it.
I thought it’d be fun to let YOU choose which book I pull off my shelf to cook with. Please vote below by Friday, Aug. 27! Don’t forget, one lucky reader will eventually win the book, too, during a later giveaway!
The ice cream never tires!!!
I gave my vote to “How It All Vegan!”, it looks really nice!
So true, Barbara! Ice cream is a treat that I personally never tire of.
Yummy!! That vegan ice cream looks great!!
I also own the “Vegan Scoop” recipe book and have made several flavors including fig, curry, and mint chocolate chip. I wish that the author Wheeler still had his vegan ice cream shop in Boston.
I’m very curious about the curry flavor… seems unique and is definitely one of the recipes I had my eye on.
Got “how it all vegan” at the library today and looking forward to perusing it tonight. Bought “Vegan on the Cheap” and so far, I like it.
Denise, please keep me posted about which recipes you are trying from “How it all Vegan!” I’d love to hear how they turn out, especially since it looks like that book is the winner and I’ll be cooking from it too!
I don’t know if you tried this, but get ahold of some Coconut Bliss brand ice cream if you can. IT IS AMAZING! And completely vegan. I actually prefer it over regular ice cream because it’s just that darn good and creamy!
I’m sure it would be easy to make coconut milk ice cream at home, but I haven’t tried it yet.
