Vegan Oat Milk Ice Cream (No Coconut, No Banana)

If you do NOT have a Ninja Creami machine – no problem! Freeze this blended liquid concoction in ice cube molds. After freezing it just slightly defrost the cubes & churn (process) them in your food processor, your high powered blender, or try feeding slightly defrosted cubes thru your Yonanas machine.

Due to high amount of cashews I modified recipe as described on last paragraph. Plez scroll down to see healthier version!

  • 3 cups unsweetened non-dairy milk, such as oat, cashew, almond, or soy, divided
  • ¼ cup old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup raw cashews – If you don’t have a high speed blender, sub ½ cup raw cashew butter
  • ⅔ cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt

Make the ice cream:

  • In a small sauce pan, simmer oats in 1 cup of milk until soft, about 10 minutes. Immediately transfer to a bowl to cool.
  • In a blender combine the remaining 2 cups of milk and the cashews. Blend on high until completely smooth. Add the cooled oatmeal, maple syrup, vanilla, salt and blend again. Refrigerate until cold.
  • Churn the mixture according the instructions for your ice cream maker. At this point the ice cream will be softer than a typical soft serve consistency. Transfer it to a freezer-safe container, cover, and freeze for about 4 hours.
  • Around the 4 hour mark, and definitely once the ice cream has been in the freezer longer, it will be too hard to scoop right away. It’s important to let the oat ice cream soften at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving.

HEALTHIER MODIFICATION:

2 C almond milk

1/4 C cashews

1/4 C rolled oats

3 Neglet Noor dates (more if you like it sweeter)

1 1/2 t vanilla (liquid or powder)

1/8 t salt

I did NOT cook anything. I blended in a high speed blender & froze in 2 Creami Breeze machine containers. Next day I churned it in the machine. Due to very low fat it was dry/crumbly. I churned, then respun, then added fresh (moist) chopped strawberries (for choco flavor I added little bit of cacao or hot chocolate powder, almond milk to make it less crumbly & walnuts) & respun w/ add-in button. The extra moisture made it all go dreamy-creamy!

Two plant-based ice creams: BUTTER PECAN & COFFEE

If you do NOT have a Ninja Creami machine – no problem! Freeze this blended liquid concoction in ice cube molds. After freezing it just slightly defrost the cubes & churn (process) them in your food processor, your high powered blender, or try feeding slightly defrosted cubes thru your Yonanas machine.

The Ballast of Faith | Peachy Keenan

[…]

When you raise children to believe in God, they have a final authority to answer to. Not you, not the president, not even their favorite YouTube personality, can fully control them. This is why the people in charge bleat so loudly about the dangers of “Christian nationalism” and “religious fundamentalism.” They are afraid of you laughing in their faces when they attempt to impose their dumb rules on you. Children raised to believe in God just wave these haters away. When your values, morals, and rights come from the divine, they are not up for discussion or debate. They cannot be repealed or replaced. God cannot be canceled.

Children who believe this will naturally be skeptical of politicians who make dumb decisions. They will intuitively understand that unborn children deserve to live. They will live by a moral code more compelling than anything man could ever legislate. They will be forces for good in a world breaking bad. They will be better able to resist the urge to join the mind-flayed lemmings flinging themselves by the thousands into Trans Canyon. They will have more willpower to refuse the first offer of a dangerous drug. They will be better prepared to resist the temptation to indulge in harmful sexual behaviors. They will cherish their own lives.

Faith gives children ballast. Faith gives them confidence that even while suffering, even after they die, they will be okay. Best of all, children who believe in God are much more likely to raise their own children to believe in God, thus perpetuating goodness and decency—and grandchildren for you.

Nothing is foolproof, of course. There is no guarantee that a devout child will thrive.

But it’s the best we’ve got.
