Peanut Butter Ice Cream

 (vegan ice cream - shhhhhh - don't tell anyone, they will never know!!)

This is by far the best recipe for vegan ice cream that I have come across.  We recently purchased an ice cream maker at Sur La Table by Cuisinart in bright citrus orange.  The price was half off and the machine seemed simple enough so we went for it.

We have made this recipe before, but not with the ice cream maker.   What a huge difference.  It was creamy and flavorful.  And best of all it is easy and packed with protein!!

www.vegetariantimes.com has the original recipe and I adjusted it to our tastes.

INGREDIENTS: 
1 13.5-oz. can light coconut milk
½ cup agave nectar (we like it less sweet so put in a little less if you wish)
½ cup crunchy peanut butter (add a little more if you like it more peanut buttery)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup French vanilla soy or original flavor soy creamer

Put all the ingredients in a blender and mix well.  Pour into an ice cream maker and within 20 minutes you will have a creamy dessert.  Voila!!
