Non-dairy Ice Cream

[scrunchielaura]

I am vegan and have developed a hankering for some non-dairy ice cream. Is there any available in the LOS? Non-dairy (vegan) ice cream can be made in a variety of ways from soy, rice, and probably even other base materials.

I probably can't go and get any myself, but might be able to arrange for someone to fetch some for me from Bangkok, Pattaya, or points between. (Although I do foresee a slight refrigeration issue...)

I have seen soy ice cream in health food stores/restaurants in Chiang Mai.

Not something I have ever looked for. The refrigeration can be solved easily by purchasing a polystyrene box. Will keep stuff froz for a good couple of hours. Cost around 75-100 baht depending on size. Now all you need is the ice cream!

Buy an ice cream maker and make your own. Just because the commercial brands use non-vegan thickeners doesn't mean you need to. Vegan ice cream recipe.

Thanks for the replies.

If I manage to get to a health food store, I'll be on the lookout knowing that I just might find some.

But I'm not going to be here long enough to bother making my own.
