THis is what I call a BASIC icecream recipe. Anyone should be able to pull this off if you have an ice cream maker. I have : Open Original Shared Link which I got for $39.99 thanks to a coupon. :)

Freeze Ice cream canister at least overnight, you want it nice and SOLID so that when you shake it you do not hear any liquid moving around.

LEAVE the canister in the freezer while your making this.

In a big bow mix (I used electric mixer)

3/4th cup Pure Cocoa

3/4th cup Raw Sugar (or your favorite replacement)

2 TSP Vanilla Extract

3 cups COLD prepaired DairFree

Mix all the ingredients throughly.

Then asemble the machine and turn it on. Slowly pour in the mixture to through the hole in the top of the mixer. Let run 25-30 mins, or unil you get the consitancey you want.

Transfer to a contianer and freeze what you dont not eat. Do not store it in the canister or it will turn ROCK HARD. :)

Thats it! Enjoy!

NOTE: I looked at a bunch of recipes for making DariFree ice cream, and they used Eggs, Salt, Oil, and other wierdo ingredients, none of which is needed. :)

Thanks for posting this recipe...I've been wanting some type of Vances ice cream recipe for a while and haven't felt like experimenting. I'm going to use Chatfield's Carob Powder for the cocoa ingredient though(Im allergic to cocoa). Also, good to know about that ice cream maker - Ive been indecisive about which brand to purchase.

Yes. Its not the exactly same as milk based ice cream because Vances is fat free... its more like what you would get if you made ice cream with skim milk. With the lack of milk fat, the flavor of the cocoa is a bit stronger, so you might want to back off some on it, this was VERY rich. :)

I'm going to use Chatfield's Carob Powder for the cocoa ingredient though(Im allergic to cocoa).

If you leave teh cocoa out completely you get Vanilla ice cream, if your into that :)

Also, good to know about that ice cream maker - Ive been indecisive about which brand to purchase.

The machine happened to be the one in the store at the time, and a couple ppl told me they liked it. It works alot better then the Walmart Brand (made by GE) one that I broke though! :)

I might try redoing htis recipe with a bit of salt to riase the freezing point a bit. It freezes pretty hard with time, unless of course you plan to eat it all rgith away :D But my freezer is at -15F, much colder then most :)

I finally went and got a Cuisinart ice cream maker and made Vanilla Dari Free ice cream today!! Oh man is that stuff good!

For those, like me. who are not into making their own ice cream, do try Sharon's Sorbet. This is not at all Sorbet as you probably think of it - icy. It is smooth, creamy and comes in many flavors. All are diary free, gluten free and soy free (except the coconut which has soy). Available at Trader Joe's and Whole Foods. Also available online but more expensive. Claire

Vincent ~ what kind of container did you store the leftovers in? I used a tupperware container and it was ROCK solid last night when I took it out.

Maybe I'll plan to have no leftovers next time B)

Same, with same results :) Thats why I mentioned if I did it again I would try adding some salt to change the freezing point bit... but realy the best plan is no left overs LOL

Cheri and Vincent--same with me! Vinvent, how much salt do you think we need to use? I used 4 cups of Dairi Free. (So I had a lot left over--had to let it sit on counter a few minutes, and even then had to scrape enough off to eat :D )

There's not enough fat in the ice cream to make it soft and pliable like regular ice cream. Fat doesn't just taste good, it's got a job to do! :P

Thats also true, try adding some oil.

I will try the oil first--the recipe from Vance's calls for 2 tbsp. of oil. I looked at that, and at Vincent's and then made up my own based on those! Probably should have followed the recipe first, and then made changes--that's me--a little backward :D Thanks :)

If you can wrap your brain around it, you could do an avocado ice cream with the Vance's here's one that I found and modified, but I don't know how well it would work, it looks good on paper, anyway :P :

1 c. + 2 c. dari-free, 1/2 packet gelatin, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 3 ripe avocados

Take the avocados, peel and seed them then put into a blender with the 1 c. of dari free and make a puree. Pour the puree into a mixing bowl, add the sugar, lemon juice, salt, gelatin, and the rest of the dari free and beat until creamy. Then transfer the complete mixture into an ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer's instructions.

You could do a lot with fatty fruits and veggies. Peanut butter ice cream (w/choc chips especially), cashew butter ice cream, coconut ice cream, anything with a higher fat content.

In just a basic recipe, I think coconut oil would be good to help it be soft and not really affect the flavor.

EDIT: With the gelatin, dissolve it in a little boiling water first before adding to the dari free

Wow--thanks Chelsea! Avodado ice cream--never thought about that, but I see what you mean about the fat content making the finished product soft. Will have to get back to the ice cream maker and experiment a litle bit more :D

What does the gelatin do for the ice cream?

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
