Virtual Potluck Evil Ice Creme

Here I am on the heels of MoFo showing up for a worldwide virtual pot luck. I actually have one more MoFo post to go but as luck  my stupid luck would have it since I live on the left coast, our area is the first designated area to show up to the soiree with our culinary masterpieces. Welcome all you virtual potluckers! Hope you had better luck than me.

Pardon me if this post is sprinkled with expletives, sighs and bad metaphors. I eventually triumph.
I had this fantastic recipe whirling around my head for days. The ingredients and appliances and pots and pans were lined up.
Each step was executed and my creativity matched my culinary prowess, at least until ...watch out first expletive coming at you. Fudge buckets...now the overused saying....God laughed at my plan. Oh chuckle, snort, bearded magician in the sky.

And yes and now another Expletive..
Apple effing pie ice creme was on it's way to it's execution, and I don't mean me executing the recipe either. I mean the ice creme was on it's way to the electric chair. I was on the way to making you an apple pie ice creme and then the fates turned against me and the ice creme maker freaked out  and electrocuted the ice creme.
Behold:

Day of the dead

 

But damned if I'd miss this party.
When in doubt pour everything back into your blender and make apple pie shakes :)

1 pippin apple diced
1/4 C water
1 T cornstarch
2 packets Stevia + 2 T pure maple syrup

Place 1/2 of the apple in a sauce pan. Add 1/8th C water and sweetener. Heat to boil. In a separate cup mix 1/8th of C cold water with cornstarch. Add to hot liquid and simmer about 6-8 minutes. Stir often then let cool completely. This is also a great topping by itself over vanilla ice creme. Once cooled proceed with shake.

1/2 C cream of coconut (place coconut milk in frig over night) then open can and scoop out creme from the top. (you can make whipped creme like that as well)
1.5 C almond milk
4 packets stevia and a 4 T maple syrup
6 oz silken tofu
1/2 brushed with 1 T maple syrup baked spelt vegan pie crust cut up
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp pumpkin spice
3 ice cubes


Pour all ingredients into blender except chopped pie crust. Blend until thick and creamy. Fold in pie crust.

Remember when life gives you a broken ice creme maker stomp your feet, then smile, move on and laugh in the face of adversity.

Remember to check out the rest of the potluckers here. The party is hosted by Ann of an unrefined vegan (see above link) and Somer of vedged out, two awesome bloggers.
And here are two more blogs, one is before me on the roster and one behind me. Please give them some love.
The Joyful Pantry brought chocolate mint truffles.
and  Vegan Fling who brought some delicious cranberry granola cookies.

Now I'm off to party and chow down, that is after I give evil ice creme maker the boot!
