Summary:

Unbelievable flavor variety, mostly soy-free and gluten-free, plus many low-fat options. Every recipe includes an enticing photo.

Alisa Fleming ~ Baklava, Blueberry Muffin, Buttery Popcorn, French Toast, Tiramisu, White Chocolate … what do all of these foods have in common? They are all flavors in the amazing new ice cream recipe book, Vegan A La Mode by Hannah Kaminsky.

Really, I don’t even need to review this un-cookbook. I could simply post up all of the recipe titles and 99% of you would probably buy it immediately! I only wish I’d had the chance to review Vegan A La Mode earlier in the summer, but as this ice cream book proves, ice cream is definitely a year ‘round dessert.

If you aren’t familiar with Hannah, and her blog Bittersweet, then I should forewarn that nothing she creates is ordinary. Vegan A La Mode isn’t simply filled with original vegan recipes, it’s got ice cream flavors that you won’t see in any other cookbook, vegan or not! And, the variety doesn’t stop there. Beyond the flavors, Hannah uses a range of different ice cream bases to create creamy textures, including nuts, rice, and coconut milk. To note, many of the recipes in this book are made with simple, easy to find, non-dairy milk, so they are optionally soy-free and low fat, too!

Of course, Hannah takes gorgeous photos of every recipe, too. Here is a little teaser of what’s inside …

Paradise Plum Vegan Ice Cream

Vanilla Vegan Frozen Yogurt

Gianduja Chocolate Vegan Ice Cream

Bitter Orange Vegan Ice CreamBitter Orange Sorbet

Vegan Brownie Ice Cream CookiesBrownie Cookies 

 

The chapters in Vegan A La Mode include:

  • Ingredients Glossary
  • Kitchen Tools and Toys
  • Essential Techniques
  • Troubleshooting
  • Bakery and Candy Shoppe Inspirations
  • Chocolate and Vanilla (trust me, these ice cream recipes go WAY beyond plain old chocolate and vanilla)
  • Coffee, Tea, or Me: Libations
  • In a Nutshell: Nuts and Seeds
  • Nature’s Candy: Fruits, Vegetables, and Herbs
  • Toppings, Accompaniments, and Components

Vegan A La Mode is formatted exactly as Hannah’s last book, Vegan Desserts. So if you have that one, you can expect exactly the same attractive look and quality.

Giveaway Time:

This giveway is closed! Congratulations to Kristine; she will be receiving a gift copy of Vegan A La Mode!

Even if you didn’t win, you can still order a copy of Vegan A La Mode, and I won’t stop you from sharing your favorite ice cream flavor in the comments.

      Talia, there is actually a Mouse Tracks vegan ice cream recipe in this book! That’s not a typo either it’s mouse, rather than moose, but same delicious concept.

  11. RogeneAugust 19, 2012 at 10:58 amReply

    I grew up in an ice cream making family so I love them all. But I guess if I had to name a favorite it would be my mom’s strawberry — she used a strawberry flavored custard and fresh strawberries.

  51. Jean BanksAugust 19, 2012 at 2:22 pmReply

    I have to admit, vanilla is my favorite ice cream flavor! However, when I’m not in a vanilla mood, I always go for a dark and rich chocolate!

  52. Emily SeipelAugust 19, 2012 at 2:31 pmReply

    Ooooo my fav ice cream when I was still eating dairy was oatmeal raisin cookie.

  53. KristineAugust 19, 2012 at 2:39 pmReply

    My 3 yr old daughter is dairy-free, wheat-free and egg-free so having lots of ice cream options for her is fantastic! We LOVE blood orange and dark chocolate together. YUM!

    I have to say that chocolate chip cookie dough is my favourite :)

  58. Tanya MennaAugust 19, 2012 at 3:42 pmReply

    When I could eat ice cream it was chocolate with peanut butter swirled in with chocolate fudge and peanut butter cups…chocolate and peanut butter is pretty much tops with me.

    • Alisa FlemingAugust 19, 2012 at 4:04 pmReplyAuthor

      You and me both Tanya! I like mine reversed though, pb ice cream with chocolate fudge.

  59. BonnieAugust 19, 2012 at 4:24 pmReply

    Mmmm, this is a hard one. Vegan mint chip is probably my favorite store-bought pick. If they were more easily available, I’d definitely choose wheatgrass sorbet and plum sake. They are amazing together. Yum!!

    I thought I had a favorite ice cream flavor… till you started listing the ones here! Um, I just treated myself to Coldstone for dinner (we had a coupon, had to!) and I got cheesecake ice cream with peanut butter cups, oreos and graham crackers. So I suppose that’s my favorite du jor ;_

    My daughter was diagnosed as lactose intolerant and really misses ice cream. She loves coffee and vanilla ice cream the most!

  78. Don RandallAugust 19, 2012 at 7:38 pmReply

    Hi Alisa,

    I’ve been vegan for about 4 years, and I was lacto-vegetarian since the late 90s. I recently bought some organic vanilla So Delicious soy ice cream with real organic vanilla. It’s great with berries. Do you think So Delicious makes good vegan casein-free dairy products? Also, do you know of any good brands of vegan cheese? I haven’t bothered with faux meat for well over 10 years, but I still get cravings for ice cream in the summer and grilled cheese sandwiches in the winter. I’d appreciate your advice. Thanks.

  79. rachellaAugust 19, 2012 at 7:41 pmReply

    MANGO CARDAMOM COCONUT.. yummo… i make it with with coconut cream (not milk) and organic coconut flakes. it’s creamy and crunchy and delicious.

    My most favorite flavor is Chocolate – a dark, deeply flavored natural chocolate.

    Mix-ins make it even better: coffee, peanut butter, mint-choc chip or even coconut-pecan! Anything goes with chocolate – and the toppings are endless!

    Super Yum! Looks like a great book! Thanks for the giveaway!

    Thai Iced Tea!
