What is Nice Cream Made Of?
The quality of a good scoop of ice cream ought to be judged not by its composition but by its merit.
Okay- I literally have no idea what percentage of that statement is actually logical. But it seems fitting for the festivities of this nice cream making party.
Vegan ice cream is made from all the nice things.
- Dairy free cream
- Fresh ice cream fixings
- A fruit base of some sort (bananas and mangos are good ones).
- A cone (if desired). Otherwise just go ahead and scoop it up with your hands (Joke! Please don’t do that).
How Do I get Creative With This Nice Cream?
The longer you freeze nice cream, the harder the consistency. This is great if you want a more solid texture, but if you want a soft-serve consistency try for about 2 hours.
Nice cream is cool (no pun intended) because it can flex to fit your needs. Here’s how:
- Portion it into pre-packaged snack packs for the freezer
- Toss it in a smoothie
- Throw it in on a crepe
- Or waffles
- Make a float
What Goods Stuffs in Pumpkin Nice Cream?
This specific nice cream is rad for many reasons. Here’s a few:
- Pecans: Pecans are cool because they contain lots of vitamin A, Vitamin E, calcium, potassium and zinc.
- Coconut milk is rich in medium chain triglycerides
- Bananas are a great source of vitamin C and potassium.
How to Create the Candied Pecans
In my pre-vegan life, I would have simply slapped some butter and sugar into a pan with pecans over some heat.
Being vegan requires getting a little more creative with our fats. So I used a wee bit of coconut oil instead.
Damn did that make it all the more delicious- and followed the theme of this pumpkin treat fabulously. You can create these vegan candied pecans from scratch.
How Long Does Nice Cream Last in the Freezer?
When you initially meet your nice cream, it will be the consistency of one of your favorite soft serve treats.
If that doesn’t work for you- freeze anywhere from 2-24 hours. Personally, I enjoy my ice cream a little harder consistency. So I let it freezer for about 4 hours.
Nice cream can last in the freezer for up to 3 months in a tightly sealed container.
