I used to hate mint things. In my opinion, mint was reserved for chewing gum and toothpaste. BUT one day, when I was a young lass, I was at a girlfriend’s doing teenage things, and she gave me some mint chip ice cream. I was shocked! There is something so different and beautiful about mint chip ice cream, it is nothing like other mint-chocolate treats I have ever had.

Well, it instantly became my favourite flavour of ice cream, and after I went vegan of course I couldn’t find a vegan version that I enjoyed. Nothing was as creamy as the real thing. This meant, as it usually does, that I had to come up with my own version of this minty treat.

So I went to work. I combined all the creamiest vegan ingredients I could think of, and good golly did I come up with the creamiest, mintiest, dairy-free ice cream in all the land! I hope you love it as much as I do!
