\"Blizzard<\/p>\n

Who else likes ice-cream? Unfortunately, I recently found out that my body does not handle dairy very well. I went to an allergist who told me to avoid it\u2026like long-term avoiding. I\u2019m not too heartbroken, but I must say there are things I miss\u2026 yogurt, for one. Then of course, there\u2019s that splash of milk in my tea or coffee that I love. Then there are those lovely puddings and custards and I wonder if maybe, just maybe\u2026I miss milk a little bit. Then I remind myself that most of those things aren\u2019t that healthy for me anyway\u2026and that cow\u2019s milk isn\u2019t the greatest invention on the planet. But I still miss it a teeny, weeny, little bit.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, I can improvise. In fact, I like to invent new versions of old favourites, and I prefer to make a simpler, quicker version than the original. I don\u2019t like time consuming recipes. Once I\u2019m free of the kitchen there are so many other lovely things to do.<\/p>\n

Enter my take on dairy-free ice-cream. Be prepared.<\/p>\n

Vegan Ice-Cream Oreo Blizzard<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. 1 can of coconut milk<\/li>\n
  2. 2-3 tsp pure vanilla extract<\/li>\n
  3. 2 tbsp agave nectar<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Sound easy enough?<\/p>\n

    \"Ingredients\"<\/p>\n

    Directions: <\/strong>Whirl up all your ingredients up in the blender.<\/p>\n

    \"Blender\"<\/p>\n

    Pour into your ice-cream maker according to manufacturer\u2019s instructions.<\/p>\n

    \"Pour<\/p>\n

    Now turn it on, and while it\u2019s working its magic you can crush four or five Oreos (I used this brand<\/a>). I like crushing things. It\u2019s like free therapy. *smile*<\/p>\n

    Then gather up these three ingredients for the chocolate sauce you\u2019re going to swirl into your ice-cream.<\/p>\n

    Chocolate Sauce<\/h2>\n
      \n
    1. Virgin, organic coconut oil<\/li>\n
    2. Cocoa<\/li>\n
    3. Agave Nectar<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Take a heaping tablespoon of coconut oil and melt it in a small pot on low heat. Add 1-2 teaspoons of cocoa and as much agave nectar as you like, to the sweetness you desire. I used about a tablespoon of agave. Stir it up.<\/p>\n

      \"Making<\/p>\n

      Now when your ice-cream is done, put the amount you want in a bowl and swirl some of that chocolate sauce into it. The sauce should harden a bit, kind of like that Magic Shell stuff I used to love. Now add your Oreo cookies and mix that in too\u2026mmmmm, who needs Dairy Queen anyway?<\/p>\n
