Inside: I am in love with this recipe for Vegan Butterbeer Ice Cream. Literally finished an entire batch on my own–and I can’t wait to make a new one.
Do you ever have a recipe that you’re kind of sorry you found/invented?
Yeeeah, meet mine: Vegan Butterbeer Ice Cream.
I’m already a foodie. And a big-time enjoyer of the easy Harry Potter recipes, books, movies, you name it.
But when I set my mind to making some ice cream for this Vegan Butterbeer Float I have in mind…Oh man, I was in trouble.
It all started with a change to my parenting status 2-hours a week. I was kiddo-non-grata (without kiddos) for 2 hours.
WHAT DO I DO WITH THAT TIME?
Day 1: Vegan Butterbeer Ice Cream.
Day 2: Make another batch because, ooops, I ate the first one in about 5 minutes.
You see, being alone for 2 hours, well, I know that’s not just a WHOLE LOTTA time to make any ice cream, much less Vegan Butterbeer Ice Cream.
So, I maaaaaay have been enjoying a little not-quite-frozen goodness, as you can tell, but the truth is, I think I wouldn’t have had it any other way–no, if I had waited any longer, I would have had to wait until after the kids were home and I would have had to share…oh, the horror.
But it was so worth it.
So very worth it.
If you’re planning a little 2-hours away from the kids vacation and want to enjoy your own oh-man-I-ate-too-much-but-it-was-so-good moment…be sure to pin this recipe for Vegan Butterbeer Ice Cream so you can be ready to pounce when the kids walk out the door. Heh.
