raw "ice cream" recipe

[tvillemom]

Rawmommy and I are going to a church function in a couple of weeks. It will probably include an ice cream party. I have a small electric ice cream maker (one that doesn't need ice and salt). Does anybody have any really good recipes that will allow us to have "ice cream" with everyone else? Thanks in advance.

Here's a bit for ya and you don't need an ice cream machine ~ just a food processor ~

I don't know if you know about the search feature here yet, you can find all KINDS of recipes with it including caramel coconut cookies, fudge, dressings, etc.

Enjoy the party. You will be a HIT for no other reason than it is soooo easy to make "ice cream"! Yours will be done before anyone elses so take plenty of frozen 'nanas.

:cool:

Yes....I've seen those. Thanks for the reminder. I guess I could just take my food processor instead of my ice cream maker. I would still like one without the bananas.....I do get burned out on those. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing all these. They really sound great. Can't wait to try them!!

[Cinnamon]

Oh yes, thank you so much for sharing all these recipes! I can't wait to try them either!

[Sweet lips]

The pecan pie and vanilla are soooooooo good!

[truthseeker]

So GLAD you liked them!!!

[Angelic Light]

Gotta try one of these ice cream recipes with the ice cream cone recipe you posted!!!

Thanks!! :D

[ReneeSC]

I finally did it!

Last week I froze bananas rolled in carob halvah.

I popped one of these in the Champ, with a palm full of walnuts, half cup of orange juice, 3tbs of honey. Whiz.

Its too good to be true!

I didn't make much, because I knew the seeds from the halvah and the honey would way increase the calories. What ate of it was enough. Oh!... DREAMY!!!

This is so much fun, I can barely stand it!

You wait until I start making those awesome cones!

Too fun.

[tvillemom]

Renee, did you make that up on your own, or is there a recipe? I'm glad this was brought back up, because before I missed Truthseekers recipes. They sound DEVINE, and I can't wait to try them.

[ReneeSC]

Yeah, I made it up myself, Wendi!

I'm starting to become a bit more comfortable using the knowledge I learn and coupling that with the ingredients I have on-hand..and experimenting.

It was REALLY good.

I just used Alissa's Halvah recipe with carob powder in it - make sure you sweeten it sufficiently, because halvah is meant to taste like sweetened sesame seeds, you'll have to keep tasting until you get the right taste for you.

My second icecream was without the bananas, but the frozen carob halvah with mixed frozen fruit.

That was good, too! :)

I'm not a very prolific measure'er person... forgive me. ( ducking )
