Recipe

I recently found mimic cream. A dairy cream alternative you can find at whole foods, etc.


Although I am NOT vegan, I do try to incorporate healthy alternatives to my foodie lifestyle. The older I get the harder it is to keep my weight under control.

Vanilla Ice cream

2 cups sweetened mimic cream
1 tablespoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon rum flavoring

mix all ingredients together and set in freezer for a couple of hours. We have the kitchen aid ice cream bowl attachment so I just poured the mix into the already frozen kitchenaid bowl. Then put it in an airtight container in the freezer

Hot fudge sauce

2 tablespoons mimic cream
1 teaspoon smart balance
1.5 tablespoons dark chocolate chips
melt in a heatproof dish over hot water or microwave




So what does it taste like? Have you ever had almond ice cream? That's how it tastes. Most of the recipes off www.mimicream.com call for much more mixers, such as, cocoa powder, strawberries, pumpkin....I think that it would curb the almondy taste a bit to mix more things into it but I absolutely love the almond taste so I opted for vanilla only. I added the chocolate because it was just sitting around.
