Merry, So sorry to hear that. What kind of blender do you have? Is it a Blendtec or Vitamix? Maybe the gelatin didn't dissolve completely with the boiling water? Also, I don't know why the machine wouldn't freeze it. I put juice in mine, and it freezes. Sorry it didn't turn out for you!

Hi Kelly! I love your cookbook! I have a fe questions about this recipe. I followed it to the letter and it came out w little balls of chewy gelatin throughout (like tapioca) and never turned into ice crm in my cuisinart ice crm maker. Am I doing something wrong? I love your recipes!!

Thanks Christina! I'm so happy! Also, good question: Any recipes dated after last May or so will not be in the cookbook, since they were created after it came out :-) Also, there are recipes in the cookbook that are not online.

I just came across your blog and I think I am going to try some of your recipes :) This icecream one sounds really good! I never thought I'd be able to eat icecream again... I'm incredibly sensitive to dairy AND sugar. And your other recipes look really good too, I'm also sensitive to wheat and can't tolerate eggs well. I found a substitute recipe for eggs though, using flax meal :) Thanks so much for sharing all of your information and recipes, it's so hard to find food to eat that is not only gluten free but sugar free, dairy free and soy free as well.

Also, do all of your recipes come from the Spunky Coconut Cook book? I was thinking about purchasing that.

Thanks Angela! Come on over ;-)

Thanks Alisa! I love cashews!

Thanks Shirley! You know I love my mint and chocolate together ;-)

Hi Bonnie!

Coconut milk should work. Also, the leftovers will be solid, so I put the ice cream on the counter to thaw for about half an hour, or until it's soft and nice.

Cheers! Kelly

I can't have cashews due to yeast issues. Would another nut work well here or maybe coconut milk?

Also, do any leftovers stay scoopable or freeze hard?

Thanks for sharing so many great recipes! I hope to one day be able to afford your book too! Maybe I'll put it on my Christmas list!

It looks wonderful, Kelly. Mint and chocolate are the perfect combo. :-) I bet that made the concert extra special!

Shirley

Oh yum! Love the use of cashews.

2009-07-10T14:33:54.552-06:00

I have a mint coconut milk ice cream in my freezer right now. I used the peppermint from my csa this week and just stir it up every 30-45 minutes or so and voila ice cream with no ice cream maker!

2009-07-10T08:23:38.036-06:00

Hi Steph!

No, you would not put the xanthan gum in water, just if you use gelatin. I prefer the gelatin, because it's healing to the gut and makes it really creamy, but I like to offer a vegetarian option.

:-) Kelly

Oooh, this looks amazing! I have a question though...

2009-07-09T23:06:18.997-06:00

Oooh, this looks amazing! I have a question though...in the ingredients you list:
"1 tbsp gelatin, dissolved in 1/4 cup boiling water
Or 1/2 tsp xanthan gum"
Did you mean to put the "or" in there? Just wondering before I give the recipe a try. I've been looking for a great excuse to use my new ice cream maker!

Thanks VeggieGirl! I hope you enjoy it! Hi Amy!...

2009-07-09T21:04:07.653-06:00

Thanks VeggieGirl! I hope you enjoy it!

Hi Amy! You're absolutely right -I added the cashews, like the gelatin or xanthan gum, to add to the creaminess, so it's not icy.

2009-07-09T20:48:47.085-06:00

I am a huge ice cream lover, too. I make at least 4 batches a week. I'm not dairy or soy-free but have some friends that want me to make some dairy-free ice cream for them. Can you tell me why you use the cashews? I assume it's for a good base and stops the finished product from being so icy.
