Ice Cream, non-cream

[dsrtao]

Tonight's dessert is vegan.

42 oz coconut milk
1 cup sugar
some salt
some vanilla
some Fra'Angelico liqueur

We'll see how it tastes after dinner... I'm expecting somewhere between great and awesome.

Have I mentioned that artificial coconut flavor makes me sick? That's why I don't have coconut-flavored things as much as I might.

Delicious. Coconut is creamier than cream.

Light coconut milk, by the way -- no solidified cream.

Fake eggs make me sick. Egg beaters, eggs that come pre-cracked in a container. Awful stuff. Its the reason why I chose waffles over omelets in VT.

Ooh, interesting! Thanks for sharing.

Apparently, coconut oil is quite good for you--lowers bad cholesterol and triglycerides, raises good cholesterol--and can be used instead of butter or shortening in baking things like pie crust, because it stays solid at room temperature.

(This is new nutrition news, because early studies showed that coconut oil was one of the worst oils for health. Turns out, all those early studies were done on hydrogenated coconut oil. That was before we learned about the ills of hydrogenation and trans fat.)
