Love it, zucchini! I don't have an ice cream maker, so I usually just pour the liquid into ice cube trays and blend when frozen. Also, I like to add some oats into whatever liquid and let the high speed blender run until it starts to thicken a bit... then cool and freeze. Makes a nice smooth base without the fat.

[@LetsEatPlants]

Perfection! Love that technique, and I think a lot of others will find it useful as well. 😊😊 Thanks, Char! I'm definitely intrigued to try an oat flavor. Need to play around with it this weekend! Glad to know you have had some success with it already. 😁

Guar gum thickens things amazingly well, too and it's very high in fiber!!

[@christinahurt7505]

​@@animaltalk1515 A pinch or two of psyllium fiber powder also thickens it up too. I always seem to have psyllium in fridge & been making healthy blender "nice cream" a lot. Organic tofu also works great adding protein and thickening.

So glad you enjoyed! I steamed it to reduce the zucchini taste, but i'm sure raw would work as well! 😄😄 It's actually pretty mild tasting even when raw.

@@LetsEatPlants 😊 Did it get icy when it was in the freezer or was it ok?

[@LetsEatPlants]

The churning of the machine (or by hand during the freezing!) helps a lot. But, I have been reading that any homemade ice cream is best eaten within the first few days of making it! Without stabilizers (like guar gum) it tends to get icy because every time we take it out to soften it enough to scoop and then put it back in the freezer, the ice crystals band together and get larger… hope I’m explaining it well! 😂🙈🙈 So I’m experimenting with making smaller batches at a time. For me it hasn’t been a problem since I like my ice cream at a soft consistency when it’s served, but I know not everyone has that preference so I’ve been researching how to prevent iciness. 😆😆 More to come! 😜

If you have a pet rabbit they would have loved that skin of the zucchini. I have colony buns and so when I see stuff like that I cant help but think of how much they would love the scraps (not the avacado if course but when I see people skin zucchini or cucumber etc things like that). Also definitely see if zucchini alone would work that would be awesome. If you try it and dont film it please let us know how it turned out even if bad and why if it is bad. That would make a good video though.

Awww a pet rabbit!? I wish! 🥺🐰🐰💕 Definitely want to try all zucchini! I do think it will work.. it just may be one of those ice creams you need to eat right away because they tend to get icy in the freezer the longer they’re in there (like in the video I posted today!). The more fat in a recipe, the better it does in the freezer it seems! There are also some anti-icing tricks I have to try still .. so might be able to work some of those into that recipe. Lots to experiment with! 😝 Will definitely keep you guys updated! 💕🌱

You are doing a great job for the society❤️ I was a hard core non vegetarian till I visited a farm and witnessed the horror of the dairy industry. The cow is inseminated painfully every 6 months so that calf is born. The calves are taken away immediately without a single drop of milk. The male calves are transported to the slaughterhouse to be killed on the very day. This process continues for some years till the cow is completely exhausted and later sold for meat. That’s the milk we consume. I literally had sleepless nights after watching the cows, their udders become so big they can’t even move. And they run to save their babies from going to the slaughterhouse. Thank you for these recepies so that people can choose compassion in their plate instead of pain.

One important consideration for ice-cream ingredients is budget - not everyone can afford coconut milk AND cashews! Zuccihni (aka baby marrow) is good low-cost option for an everyday ice-cream. I haven't seen your sweet potato ice-cream recipe yet - there next. Sugar has quite a big environmental footprint so sweet potato sounds good to add the sweetness. Do you think a zucchini and sweet potato combo might be a good cost-effective option? We can keep the coconut, avo & cashews for special occasion ice-cream... I have seen a choc mousse recipe using avo. Another recipe used oat milk in a custard-type filling (it was heated and then cooled) which acted as a thickener.

Can I use fresh mint leaves instead mint extract?

[@LetsEatPlants]

Yes definitely! 😊

[@paulschuyler2320]

Which Ice cream maker did you use?

[@LetsEatPlants]

It’s the most basic model from Cuisinart! (I believe it’s called ICE-21) I’ve linked in the description box of this video if you want to check it out. 😊😊

[@kimberlywhidden6966]

I didn’t want an ice cream maker until now! Yum! Zucchini!? What ever. My husband is allergic to bananas and I’d like to try something else. He’d never know about the zucchini.

[@LetsEatPlants]

Hahaha. That ice cream maker has been *amazing* so far! Best $80 I've spent on a kitchen "gadget" (other than my Instant Pot!! haha). I'll definitely be bringing it back out this summer! 🤩🤩 Yay! Curious what your husband thinks of this one. Baked sweet potato is another popular sub for banana! You can check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYTdh3-ZYq18fJo

Awesome, l have soooo meny zucchini from my garden and was wondering what to do with them.

[@LetsEatPlants]

Oooh lucky!! 😋😋😋 Enjoy!

[@virginiavoigt2418]

Sometimes I do too. I like to pickle them at that point.

@@LetsEatPlants thanks!

black sesame seeds ice cream is the one

[@LetsEatPlants]

Yummy!! Sounds delicious!

[@hadi_alnabati]

How about an 🍊+ orange sweet potato ice cream? Or 🍊 + 🥕 + squash ice cream ? 😆

[@LetsEatPlants]

Ooooh YES! I remember you gave that great suggestion last time! I will add it to the list! 😋😋 Thanks!

[@theresasnoderly3134]

How about trying to make this with pumpkin? Lower carbs than sweet potato.

[@LetsEatPlants]

Yes! Definitely that would work. If you haven’t seen my sweet potato ice cream video you can watch it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYTdh3-ZYq18fJo you could sub pumpkin for sweet pot in that one. But I’d do a flavor that either compliments the pumpkin, like pumpkin pie spice & maple syrup or something that covers it like chocolate. 😊😊

Do you have a recipe for rum raisin butter pecan dairy free

[@LetsEatPlants]

Sorry I don’t! Perhaps something I can work on in the future 🙂

[@dovaillancourt]

If you love ice cream, get a Ninja Creami. It is out of this world and let’s you spin and respin the same ice cream. Check it out !

[@Henrylovesyou]

Zucchini is a fruit. It has seeds.

[@ElisaFioredichill]

Wow 😍

[@LetsEatPlants]

🤗🤗

[@leandroseoane3791]

Time to get a ninja creami

[@LetsEatPlants]

Hahaha I'm trying to decide if it's worth it!! I really love my Cuisinart... but the Ninja Creami does look really helpful for having that "freshly churned" consistency when serving. 🤩🤩 They're also out of stock almost everywhere here! Do you have one?

[@ClioMioo]

I'm gonna try this with coconut cream and 0 cal sweetener, make a Coco-Choc vegan keto ice cream.

[@LetsEatPlants]

Sounds yummy! Enjoy! 🤩🤩

Not a sweets fan, but I do like cones.

Si! 😃😃

[@nomore1980]

I wasn't at all thinking it would have a zucchini taste. That avocado was the thing that I'm like nope, don't want to taste that, and also have that ugly color for mint.

[@LetsEatPlants]

You can sub the avocado with cashews or coconut cream. 😊 You could even try extra zucchini but it might turn out a bit icy overall since the water content is so high on them. Baked white sweet potato should work as well as a sub. 😋😋 The green actually partly came from the zucchini! The avocado just intensified it. So just beware that if you use zucchini you might still have a light green color.

ice cream is supposed to be a decadent treat. please don't ruin it for everyone

[@LetsEatPlants]

As with any recipe that exists in the world, if you don’t like it.. you don’t have to make it! 🤗 This is a great option for people who don’t want a decadent treat (for various reasons) but still want something of a sweet treat. Pretty sure no one has had their dessert life ruined because of it. 🙂🙃
