Nondairy Dessert Challenge
Posted on June 4, 2012  by  Barbara

We recently discovered that Kidlet has followed in his parents footsteps and is lactose intolerant. Although there are a number of lactose free frozen dessert options out there, they can get pretty pricey. I adapted a recipe from the Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream Cookbook to see if I could create a tasty frozen dessert at home. We liked how this turned out – good coconut flavor, not too sweet and the texture was similar to ice milk.
For the Base:
2 eggs whisked until pale yellow
Slowly add 3/4 cup sugar and continue whisking.
Whisk in 3 cups Silk Vanilla Coconut Milk and one envelope coconut cream powder. (you can purchase coconut cream powder at a well-stocked Asian or Thai market)
Chill the base for 4-6 hours in the fridge and the churn in your ice cream machine as directed by the manufacturer. Before it comes out of the churn, add in 1/4-1/3 cup toasted unsweetened coconut and a similar amount of chopped or grated good quality dark chocolate. I use Bob’s Red Mill unsweetened coconut.
Decant into a freezer safe container and let rest in the freezer for several hours.
Scoop up and enjoy!

Be my friend because you like me, not because of what I can do for you or your organization.
I want to spend time with you, not just pay to attend the event you are hosting.
If I give my time, it’s because that’s all I have to give. If my involvement in your organization is tied to my bank balance, social standing or being the ‘right’ religion, that’s your loss. I really thought that Creed meant the same thing to everyone.
My depression problem is not a secret. Ask what is going on in my life and if you can help. I’d do the same to you.
I know you are busy. I’m busy too. Maybe we both need to try harder to keep in touch.
Not all my knowledge is based on a Google search. I have a college degree and life experience, too.
I will fight passionately for what I think is right, I will support you when I think you’ve been wronged. Don’t take advantage of that aspect of my personality. I’ll also work hard to make sure you stand on your own damn feet and then help you celebrate your successes when they happen.
Running a business with your spouse is hard.
Being a parent is hard, parenting an Aspie is even harder.
I don’t read every post on Facebook. If you have news you want me to know, call or write me personally.
If I say No, don’t take it personally. I need to have some boundaries in my life so I can carve out some time for me and my family.
