Ad. This homemade soy milk ice cream was created for the Arkansas Soybean Promotion Board. All opinions are my own. #ArkansasSoy #ArkansasSoybeans

Let’s get right to the most important point of this message: chocolate peanut butter soy ice cream NEEDS TO BE IN YOUR LIFE.

You know you clicked on this post because you were curious. I mean, go to any supermarket and you see whole milk ice cream, light ice cream, rice milk ice cream, cashew milk ice cream, coconut milk ice cream, almond milk ice cream, macadamia milk ice cream, and yes, soy milk ice cream.

Skip the freezer section and make your own soy milk ice cream. Better yet, make your own chocolate peanut butter soy milk ice cream. 

Trust me.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Soy Ice Cream


ad #Arkansassoybeans Chocolate peanut butter soy ice cream - Pinterest 2

Ingredients

• 2 cans whole fat coconut milk (13.5 ounces each can)
• 1 cup vanilla soy milk
• 3 tablespoons Swerve alternative sugar (can substitute with 3 tablespoons cane sugar)
• ½ cup cocoa powder
• ½ cup peanut butter (can substitute with almond butter)

Instructions

  1. In a blender combine coconut milk, soy milk, Swerve, cocoa powder and ¼ cup peanut butter.
  2. Add mixture to ice cream machine and run according to instructions (most often this is 20 minutes). Fold in remaining ½ cup peanut butter and serve.
  3. If you do not have an ice cream machine, add mixture to freezer-safe container and spoon in remaining ½ cup peanut butter. Freeze for 4 hours or until desired firmness. Please note if you leave overnight, you will need extra time to let ice cream thaw.
  4. Enjoy!

 

Notes

Put coconut milk in the refrigerator for fifteen minutes to firm up.

If you plan on freezing your ice cream via a container in the freezer, pre-freezing the container may help stop the formation of ice crystals.

What does soy milk ice cream taste like?

It taste likes regular whole milk ice cream with one caveat… be sure to included full fat coconut milk to give you that nice mouth feel. Without it, soy milk has a weaker taste all by itself.  This recipe is popping on all cylinders because excuse me – hellooooo – this is chocolate peanut butter soy milk ice cream! I mean, once you mix everything up in the blender, you’re going to be tempted to just stop there and slurp it all up. It tastes like the-most-deliciously-satisfying-ice-cream-shake-that-has-melted-and-you-don’t-even-care kind of taste.

Wait, you make this chocolate peanut butter soy milk ice cream in a blender?

Yep. A blender whips it all up so smoothly. You’ll be putting half the peanut butter in the blender and folding in the remaining peanut butter in the ice cream. You know those yummy ribbons of peanut butter that you get in store-bought ice cream? Yep, you’ll have them too.

I mean, why soy milk ice cream? Why not just make regular whole milk ice cream?

Let me just say that I’m not discriminating against any of the whole milk or alternate milk substitutes. I think they’ll all be delicious if you swap out the ingredients in the recipe.  I just know that soy contains the three macro-nutrients required for good nutrition – complete protein, carbs, and fat, along with vitamins and minerals, including calcium, folic acid and iron. Soy is the only source of complete vegetable protein. Pretty impressive for a small little bean! Andddd… if you do decided to swap whole milk for this recipe, feel good knowing that the cow who provided the milk most likely has a soymeal diet.

Is soy milk ice cream healthy?

Yep! Soy is healthy! My recipe includes a natural peanut butter, organic whole coconut milk and a sugar-substitute called Swerve that is virtually carb-free.  Most ice creams and ice cream recipes are heavy on the sugar and * gasp * sometimes high fructose corn syrup. Shudder.

Tell me, is this recipe vegan, gluten, and dairy free?

Yep. Yep. Yep.

No animals, wheat, or milk was harmed in the making of this recipe.

Do you have to have an ice cream maker to make this recipe?

You don’t. All you really need is a freezer. And if you actually have enough will power to not eat all the ingredients straight from the blender, you can have ice cream ready to eat in twenty minutes of you have an ice cream maker or within a couple of ours if you put it in the freezer to firm. Either way… make it already!

Have you ever wondered what soy milk ice cream tasted like?

Happy new favorite ice cream!

Eat well, my friends.

One of my favorite memories as a kid growing up in the Research Triangle in North Carolina was the annual church hayride at the country home of our friends, the Barbours. We lived in a suburb of the state capital, close to physically yet far away from life on the outskirts of town filled with Tobacco fields, cotton patches, and red dirt roads. ⁠
⁠
The Barbours had some farm that my little self couldn’t comprehend. In reality, they may have had just land, yet to me; land meant a farm. And besides, they had a big ol’ barn, tractors, and hosted the annual hayride.⁠
⁠
My favorite part of the memory was the firepit, where everyone gathered around, laughed, and enjoyed each other’s company. It didn’t matter if you were a kid or elderly. ⁠
⁠
You may think, “But I don’t have a fireplace or firepit! What can I do?” ⁠
⁠
Improvise.⁠
⁠
Youtube a crackling fireplace video or a firepit on a beach. Dim the lights and turn the crackle up. Invite yourself to a friend’s home with ample backyard and offer to bring ‘smores. Go to a park.⁠

Webster’s Dictionary has two excellent definitio Webster’s Dictionary has two excellent definitions for the word nourishment. One is “to provide with food,” and the other is “to provide for,” to provide support.⁠
⁠
I love that.⁠
⁠
Just as food sustains and keeps us alive, feeling supported sustains us mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. It’s how we build bonds, friendships, and hope for the future.⁠

“Stop sneaking the spiced candied pecans!” I s “Stop sneaking the spiced candied pecans!” I said this not once, not twice, but almost three times before Dennis beat me to say those words again. “I’m sneaking some more,” he happily declared.⁠
⁠
I’m delighted that he was enjoying them! I assured him that he could have allllll that his little heart desired… he just had to allow me to take a few photos for you!⁠

Did you know that folks in the UK will use the word “cheers” as “thank you?” From wedding toasts to praising someone for remarkable achievement, raising a glass with a special someone is a special bonding moment.⁠
⁠
I love that part about “cheers” and “thank” can be the same. ⁠
⁠
Have you ever wanted to become more thankful? More grateful? More appreciative of, well, everything that we take for granted?⁠
⁠
Why not give thanks and cheer a little more often?⁠

“Just like becoming an expert in wine–you learn by drinking it, the best you can afford–you learn about great food by finding the best there is, whether simply or luxurious. Then you savor it, analyze it, and discuss it with your companions, and you compare it with other experiences.” – Julia Child
