A special treat for me

Not eating anything made of milk is hard. All the good stuff has milk in it! Think of it: cheesecake, ice cream, cheese, just about anything Italian... Even going to restaurants with large menus can be tricky - most places believe that cheese makes anything better. Sigh. I have to agree. Cheese does make things better. But not for me.

Ice cream is wonderful. I can find Rice Dream every so often, but it is expensive! I'd make my own, but I hadn't found a replacement for cream. While searching online I found a new resource: Mimicream. I bought some on sale (clearance because they need to have dual language boxes!), and it was on the porch this morning.


This afternoon I used one box to make chocolate ice cream. Jamie helped me put in the salt and ice, and sat by as the machine went to work. Sadly, even when the machine is done, the ice cream isn't. Into the freezer it went for a few more hours.


After dinner we scooped out this treat. Some had plain chocolate, some had cookie dough tidbits mixed in, some had whipped cream on top. All enjoyed!
