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 Ice Cream
Naked Frozen Yogurt
Gianduja Ice Cream (Italian Chocolate-Hazelnut)
Bitter Orange Sorbet
Brownie 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.

My favorite flavor is chocolate anything! After all, a woman always has to have her chocolate!
Totally sharing this on FB as well! 😀
These all look so good! My fave ice cream flavour (@ the moment) is Red Velvet… but Baklava in Ice Cream would be Devine! I’d love to try out this book! 😀
any and all flavors – i could eat ice cream for breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as snacks!!
Hmm…probably So Delicious’s Dulce de Leche. It used to always have that tunnel of caramelly goodness in the center. Not so much, anymore. But I keep trying to find it! 🙂
My favourite flavour of all time has to be coconut hands down!
I shared this page on Facebook.
I’m really enjoying the Toasted Almond Chip Coconut Milk.
Mint chocolate chip!
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.
Mint chocolate chip!
Vegan Mocha Almond Fudge! 🙂
Impossible to decide but lately vegan mint chip!
Maple nut is my all-time favorite.
I’ve shared this with The Veg Life group, on FB… looks like a great book!
Tiger Tail ice cream is my absolute favourite~!
Now I must know, what is in Tiger Tail ice cream?
My favorite ice cream flavor is cherry cobbler… that was harder to come up with than I thought: how can I choose just one?! 🙂
I just tweeted it out, you should see the tweet in your @ TL.
Favorite ice cream flavor: hands down, moose tracks!
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.
I LOVE strawberry ice cream and even better when it is mixed with chocolate
