American federal labeling standards require ice cream to contain a minimum of 10% milk fat (about 7 grams (g) of fat per 1/2 cup [120 mL] serving) and 20% total milk solids by weight (Thank you Wikipedia). So by definition, any "ice cream" made without milk isn't really ice cream. But don't worry, we'll still let you call it that!
So can you replace the milk in your ice cream recipe with something else and have it still taste good? YES!

Yes, I know I like weird things, but seriously, Mung Bean Shakes are delicious! I'm not alone in this sentiment either: Green Bean Shake Love Story. Last night we ate dinner at the Vietnamese restaurant in town again. I wanted another Red Bean shake, but they were out and suggested I have mung bean instead. I said yes and I wasn't disappointed. While not as flavorful (to me, anyhow) as the red bean shake, which I think has a slight chocolate taste, the mung bean shake was pretty similar. Next time I think I'm going to go for the avocado ... {Tags: green bean, mung bean, weird} {More...}

Making homemade ice cream is always so much fun. For those times when you make more than you can immediately eat, or when you want to make some to give to a friend or family member, I've found the best storage container around!
It's made by Sweet Bliss and it holds an entire quart of ice cream. The lid even has a spot for you to write in the date and flavor or other message. Right now they only come in two styles: pastel stripes and wooden barrel. They are made of heavy paperboard so they are pretty sturdy (a little ... {Tags: great deal, ice cream containers} {More...}
