Editorial Reviews

Review

“These recipes are totally out of control! Veganism has never been so fun, easy, and innovative.”

—Rory Freedman, author of #1 New York Times bestseller Skinny Bitch


The Vegan Scoop will forever change the way you think about ice cream. In Wheeler del Torro’s hands, vegan ice cream is not only far more nutritious than traditional ice cream, but more delicious and outrageously varied. This book is an absolute must-have for ice cream aficionados everywhere.”

—Dr. Will Tuttle, Ph.D., author of The World Peace Diet



 “As luscious as the recipes themselves, this cookbook puts vegan ice cream on the map and leaves its animal-based counterpart in the dust. Vibrant, fun, and full of factoids, The Vegan Scoop is pure bliss.”

—Colleen Patrick-Goudreau, author of the award-winning

The Joy of Vegan Baking and The Vegan Table



“This is the ultimate book of dairy-free dessert. Bursting with innovative flavor combinations, tasty toppings, and irresistible accompaniments, expert ice cream maker Wheeler del Torro has created a true masterpiece with The Vegan Scoop. I’d like a scoop of everything, please!”

—John Robbins, Author of Healthy at 100,

The Food Revolution, and Diet for a New America


“This is the best thing ever to happen to vegan ice cream! The enticing flavors and colorful pictures are impossible to resist.”

—Jennifer McCann, author of Vegan Lunch Box and

Vegan Lunch Box Around the World



Product Description

The Vegan Scoop brings the pleasures of the ice cream parlor into your home with 150 recipes for delicious frozen desserts that are so rich and creamy, they’re better than the “real” thing—and contain one-third the calories!


Developed by vegan hipster Wheeler del Torro of Wheeler’s Frozen Desserts, these “faux” creams feature 100 percent vegan-certified ingredients, making them suitable for both vegans and those with lactose intolerance and other dairy aversions. And with each serving containing approximately 80 calories—nearly 100 calories fewer than a serving of traditional ice cream—you can indulge with peace of mind (and keep your trim waistline!).  


Chapters are devoted to innovative flavor “inspirations,” and cover everything from Caribbean & Island Flavors to Healthy Flavors and Aphrodisiacal Flavors. You’ll also find two chapters full of recipes for toppings, sauces, sides, and other dessert accompaniments.


Recipes include:

 

Peanut Butter Banana

Black Sesame

Chocolate Marshmallow

Almond Cookie

Orange Passion Fruit

Granola Crunch

Pecan Apple Danish

Espresso Bean

Vanilla Graham Cracker
and hundreds more!

5.0 out of 5 stars Yum!, May 20, 2009
This book has some of the best recipes for vegan ice cream I've ever tried. The author really knows his ice cream. The recipes are easy and usually only call for a few ingredients. There are beautiful pictures every few pages. The recipes I've tried so far have been amazing. Not sure if I would try some of the more unusual flavors like wasabi, eucalyptus, or seaweed but the pictures make them look pretty good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful PHOTOS Make This a Must Have, June 8, 2009
By Tod Brilliant (healdsburg, ca USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The Vegan Scoop: 150 Recipes for Dairy-Free Ice Cream that Tastes Better Than the "Real" Thing

Like most of you reading this review, I've a shelf full of cookbooks. And I know from experience that I tend to actually USE the cookbooks that have great photography . . . the shots simply inspire me to try to recreate what's on the page. And what good is a cookbook that collects dust?

The Vegan Scoop's recipes are an ice-cream lover's goldmine. From spot-on classics like chocolate, bubblegum and cookie dough to incredible exotics like Dark & Stormy (my favorite drink) sorbet and pink pepper tarragon, there are enough variations to keep the avid ice cream fan in sweets for years.

Then there's the helpful (and healthful) tips and the ingredient descriptions/history . . . the book just keeps on giving. Definitely one of my all-time favorite cookbooks. OH, and not just ice cream, sorbet and gelatos, but brownies, sauces -- all kinds of incredible desserts.

Do what I did - pick up several copies as it makes for the perfect, easy (and cheap!) gift for anyone with a serious sweet tooth.

5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST vegan ice cream ever!, May 18, 2009
We just got this book and have tried two flavors so far... they were both fantastic! They both tasted better than ANY vegan ice cream I have ever purchased at the market. The texture was also better than any vegan ice cream I have tried to make on my own before. Note that we used the soy creamer, as called for, but Blue Diamond vanila almond milk for the milk (our favorite). We can't wait to try more flavors!
