The Vegan Scoop: 150 Recipes for Dairy-Free Ice Cream that Tastes Better Than the "Real" Thing

Customer Reviews:

Uninspired and repetitive

By Mark Newman - October 29, 2009

First let me say the I did learn two things from this book -- saving it from a one-star rating. Those things were:

Arrowroot powder is a nice additive for better texture
Soy creamer can be used for a creamier texture

I have made soy-based ice cream for years now, but have never used either of these ingredients. I would merely take a regular ice cream recipe and substitute soy milk for real milk. These concoctions were good, but lacked a bit in the texture department. Now I have a solution!

As for the rest of this recipe book, it is a single base recipe for the majority with a single ingredient added to make a unique flavor. So, for Espresso ice cream, add 1/4 c espresso to the base recipe. For "Earl Grey", steep the soy milk in 8 bags of Earl Grey -- same base recipe otherwise! Are we to believe that adding a single simple ingredient will transform this recipe into the perfect balance of new flavors? No additional sugar or slightly less... read more

A great book, as long as you like soy and refined sugar

By K. Mitchell - July 25, 2009

This book is filled with inventive, delicious and delicious-sounding recipes, accompanied by pictures that make you want to start making ice cream immediately! I had to run right out and buy the specialty items almost every recipe calls for - arrowroot powder (hint: buy it bulk online to avoid the super high grocery store prices - we paid $7 for a few ounces of the spice jar, and you can get a couple pounds for that if buying it online!) and soy creamer (I got Silk, in the dairy fridge). Update: I have now made several ice creams from this book, including one with coconut milk instead of soy creamer, and they were all delicious. I only strictly followed the recipe for one of them, and I consider that a compliment to this book, that it inspires you to be creative.

The only drawback to the book is that almost every recipe calls for soy milk or soy creamer, as well as either white (usually) or brown sugar. Out of 150, there are only 12 or 13 that do not have soy milk or... read more

Beautiful PHOTOS Make This a Must Have

The Vegan Scoop: 150 Recipes for Dairy-Free Ice Cream that Tastes Better Than the "Real" Thing

Like most of you reading this review, I've a shelf full of cookbooks. And I know from experience that I tend to actually USE the cookbooks that have great photography . . . the shots simply inspire me to try to recreate what's on the page. And what good is a cookbook that collects dust?

The Vegan Scoop's recipes are an ice-cream lover's goldmine. From spot-on classics like chocolate, bubblegum and cookie dough to incredible exotics like Dark & Stormy (my favorite drink) sorbet and pink pepper tarragon, there are enough variations to keep the avid ice cream fan in sweets for years.

Then there's the helpful (and healthful) tips and the ingredient descriptions/history . . . the book just keeps on giving. Definitely one of my all-time favorite cookbooks. OH, and not just ice cream, sorbet and... read more
