Anyone want a great vegan Strawberry "ice cream" recipe?

Found it on the web....we use a cuisinart ice cream maker (the inexpensive type that you have to freeze the mixing container for 24 hours in advance).

Two cups of frozen strawberries - we used berries we froze that we got from the market last summer - chop them up using the metal blade in a food processor. Put into a large bowl - add 1/2 cup of honey, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp vanilla - mix well and leave at room temp for a few hours (so that the berry mixture thaws and combines well with the other liquids).

Add 2 cups of almond milk - stir until well blended, then freeze in the ice cream maker for 20 minutes.

We found that it tasted better after resting in the freezer for a few hours (the honey flavor blended in and the berry flavor emerged) - and even better on day 2.

in line w/Lefty Mom: may i suggest maple syrup, molasses; or, raw brown sugar. marasinghe Jan 2012 #5

first two probably wouldn't work with the strawberry flavor - raw brown sugar would. NRaleighLiberal Jan 2012 #6

It's an animal product. LeftyMom Jan 2012 #7

If you want it to be vegan substituting agave nectar would probably work fine.

are taking, they prefer honey to agave, because agave is more chemically manipulated.

The Engine 2 is odd, really - more severe in some ways than vegan, not so much in others. We are just trying to get through it eating enough calories/getting all needed nutrition each day!
