If ice cream normally starts with whipping cream, now I'm curious how nondairy ice cream is made and if I can do it myself. Rachel's curiosity is always inspiring!

[@noellekacerek3281]

Non dairy ice cream can be coconut cream based (the one in the can). I've made quite a few and its super easy and fun!

[@Joy.Elizabeth]

yes i 2nd coconut cream. its much thicker esp compared to say rice milk which is very thin. i never could get that to work. but if you try it n like pumpkin i highly reccomend trying to add in some pumpkin puree n pumpkin pie spice its so good w the coconut! 😊 good luck!

[@lacytaylor1501]

Main reason for whipping cream ( especially in no churn recipes) is for air incorporation I believe as it helps create the air and fluffiness that gets put in ice cream as it churns which I think also kind of helps with preventing large ice crystals. So non dairy based ice creams would likely have something that can be whipped up to create air and fluffiness, of course if it's being churned I don't think that really matters but I'm not entirely sure

[@IDontWantThisStupidHandle]

Non-dairy ice cream can be made with any plant-milk. Rice tends to be icy (so does almond), but full-fat and creamy nuts (like coconut or cashew) make really creamy ice cream. You can also make it from avocados (which, in my experience always has an avocado taste) or even frozen bananas. The possibilities are endless.

[@paulalarsen7697]

Coconut cream. It's so good! Very, VERY fatty so it's very rich. But everything I've ever made it with for ice cream is just out of this world good.

[@shadypalmtree2989]

For future reference, if you want icing or your whipped cream, in this case, to be white and not a cream colour, you can add a tiny bit of purple food colouring to knock out the yellowness.

Question, is spaghetti ice not known outside of Germany? I only noticed, when Rachel was weirded out by the white chocolate "Parmesan". I think it was invented in Germany, but not sure. Explanation for anyone who doesn't know spaghetti ice: It is vanilla ice, run through a spaghetti press, so that it looks like pasta. Topped with red sauce from strawberries or raspberries and some white chocolate "Parmesan". Pretty much every ice Café in Germany has that on the menu, you can even buy it premade at the supermarket.

[@Glim246]

I'm from the US and never heard of it but it sounds amazing!

[@jessicas253]

Hello Yvonne

[@TheNinnyfee]

As cocoa powder only dissolves when warmed up it would be better if you sprinkled a little on top for garnish and rather add melted chocolate into the mousse. Rachel, you can try the nutella fudgesicle cream by buying a nut-free chocolate spread. ♥️ And I would add marshmallow fluff into the sweet potato ice cream, I think they had it in B&Js Phish Food. The cream cheese flavour was a great idea, yum! The white chocolate shavings looking like cheese is the exact reason why we put it on spaghetti ice cream in Germany, i.e. vanilla ice cream shaped like spaghetti over a dollop of whipped cream and then topped with strawberry sauce and white chocolate shavings.

[@kellylynn9132]

Curious if you could add a high quality melted chocolate instead of cocoa powder to the mousse ?

[@SL-gb8qd]

Chocolate is difficult, because it hardens the mouse, when cooling. Might not work without a proper ice maker machine and even with one of those machines it is tough.

[@jessicas253]

You definitely could. There are a lot of mousse recipes that only contain whipping cream and chocolate. You just need to work quickly and get your ratios right but it sure is possible. Just doesn't compare to real mousse au chocolat which would also include eggs. Still delicious though.

[@Appaddict01]

S L They were basically using the melted ice cream in place of ganache. A lot of eggless mousse recipes only use chocolate and cream with gelatin.

I've always wondered about the cotton candy flavor ice cream you can get at the grocery store, wondering if it tastes like cotton candy or not. I really like the cotton candy blizzard at Dairy Queen, it has cotton candy crystals in it. SO good.

[@momma2thewilds88]

Yes! That one is so so good! I bet if she added double the cotton candy she did, it would taste like DQ's cotton candy ice cream.

[@rusj0]

Instead of cocoa powder I would use chocolate pudding mix. I have also made mousse with 2 cups of whipping cream (heavy cream) and a box of putting mix!! It is so good!

[@lisaflower5994]

I think that’s a great idea! What is missing from the mousse is the gelatine so the instant pudding mix would give that thickening Re the cocoa, if the icecream has enough flavour, is any extra chocolate needed? I think the pudding idea is great, another option would be to fold some whipped cream through the melted icecream and fold through some dissolved gelatine. If you need more choc flavour, either fold through some grated chocolate or stir through some cooled, melted choc Sort of feel like you lose the need for the melted icecream at that point though Cooled melted chocolate and whipped cream and gelatine….. a very simple choc mousse already

[@cydnief1563]

You should try the ninja creami! We love it. Makes really good ice cream, smoothie bowls, sorbet, and even Gelato.

[@rocki59]

I make similar ice cream. Instead of plain sweetened condensed milk you boil the can covered in water for approx 3 hours (don’t let the water evaporate and keep can covered). This turns the milk into caramel. Let it cool and then refrigerate. Once cold set aside. Whip one cup of heavy whipping cream and 1 tsp of vanilla to soft peaks. You then fold the two ingredients together kind of ribboning it together. Place in a pan and sprinkle sea salt on the top and freeze. Best salted caramel ice cream 😀

Trying to measure out one dry cup of cotton candy was hilarious! Cotton candy is just VERY fine strands of sugar. It melts down immediately in liquids. CN: alcohol Cotton candy martinis are a great visual spectacle. There’s tons of variations out there, but I use 1.5oz vodka, .75oz triple sec, & .75oz lemon juice in a shaker with ice & strain it into a martini glass that has a GIANT pile of cotton candy in it. It’s a great balance of sweet & sour. The liquid even turns the color of the cotton candy.

[@kellybrianna8037]

Wow!!! How cool!!

[@mahaliabarnes8195]

if you mix the cocoa powder into the condensed milk before whipping then you wont get a chalky mouth feel

It's always funny to me that people are surprised by nutella ice cream. It's been a treat my Mom always made, when I was a little kid (I'm 35 now). If I remember correctly the recipe originated from Tupperware as she used their popsicle molds (I'm from Germany). It was made differently though. The nutella was melted into the liquid whipping cream, then rested in the fridge overnight, and was then beaten up and filled into the molds to freeze. Unfortunately, I don't remember the ratio but it wouldn't be too much nutella as you'd end up with a ganache. Quick, easy, and super delicious. I remember that we kept asking her to redo it all the time. A great childhood memory. 😍
