While We’re on the Subject of Ice Cream…
June 16, 2008
Has anyone ever encountered someone who said, “I could never be a vegan; the idea of eating soy ice cream is gross.”?
Well, the above excuse is no longer valid. Purely Decadent So Delicious has just introduced a line of coconut milk-based ice creams in flavors such as cookie dough, chocolate, and mint chip. There’s not a trace of soy to be found in these new creations.
And speaking of So Delicious, I spotted some exciting new soy ice cream flavors at Whole Foods that are not even listed on their website yet! Some of the flavors I remember, off the top of my head: Snickerdoodle, Key Lime Pie, Belgian Chocolate, and Blueberry Cheesecake.
Happy Fathers’ Day to all the dads out there! I’ll post a Fathers’ Day entry soon.

Those ice cream flavors sound amaaazing!!…mint chip AND snickerdoodle?!…I’m in heaven and thinking that I need to take a little trip up to Whole Foods ASAP!
Aww your prom picture is gorgeous!! I love looking at the dresses too…and yours is beautiful!
Your dress is awesome! And the coconut ice cream sounds delicious. I’ll be on the look-out for it.
Oh goodness, I don’t think I have any of my old prom or any HS dance photos on the computer. Maybe I’ll see if I can get some scanned. Oh memories…
BTW – You and your dress look beautiful!!
Their new ice cream is fantastic. We have had the chocolate and the cookie dough. So good!
Your picture is beautiful. I would love to show you mine, but I never went to a prom.
i live real close to dallas!
What a great photo and such a FABULOUS dress (love the turquoise in there
). You look stunning, of course!
Thanks for playing along–I’m also a voyeur when it comes to others’ historical photos!
Awww I love your prom dress, so pretty!!!
I’ve been on the hunt for So Delicious, but all they have at my grocery store is the popsicles!
Katie, you look GORGEOUS! That dress suits you perfectly. Cute date too.
ice cream made with coconut milk!? i am really excited about that since i cant have soy! and i always make my homemade ice cream with coconut milk.
your dress is pretty. i might just post my prom pics soon.
Oh my gosh your dress is stunning! So sparkly and lovely. You look so pretty!
Wow you look stunning Katie! Your dress is so colorful!
I actually don’t have any prom photos (sadly), they featured me and an ex I hated, so they got tossed.
We spent the whole time arguing so it was a wash anyway.
I went to PF Chang’s for the first time ever with my famfam tonight and I thought of you!
That is a beautiful photo! I swear you could win a million dollars for your smile. I shall steal it (the smile, not the money)! Too many strangers lately have told me to smile or else I look mean. What?!
Snickerdoodle ice cream? My favorite cookie with ice cream? Vegan?! Hooray for that! Thanks for getting the word out!
And, yes CCV, I did happen to make some extra zucchini muffins just for you! The recipe oddly enough made fourteen muffins…Zucchini might end up becoming one of my favorite veggies soon enough!
I’m afraid you’re a bit behind the times on the soy-free coconut-based ice cream. I’ve been eating Coconut Bliss (http://www.coconutbliss.com/) since I became a vegan in September. So good…
Cuteness! You are just too adorable Katie! I’d have to break out the scanner to post my prom photos…taken before the digital revolution. That makes me feel old. It was the 90s, so I wore combat boots to prom. Ha!
I read about the coconut milk soy cream on Syn’s blog…and I sooooo want to try it. I’ll have to seek it out at the Wild Oats when I’m there next time. I hope they have it.
Hey! No fair! Your prom photo is not in the least bit embarassing–you look beautiful!
Blueberry Cheesecake soy ice cream?! YES, please!
Your dress is rockin’ :]
You look so perdy! My goodness! I need to bring my old pics back when I go visit my family this summer so I can share my goofy pictoral past!
Ah, you (and your dress) look amazing!
Ooo I will have to look for those flavors.
Your dress is amazing – Such a pretty color
have a good night!
You look stunning in the photo and what a great dress. I certainly would have voted you Prom Queen.
Our Vegan ice cream is very limited and doesn’t taste all that good so have been experimenting with homemade ice cream, funnily enough also with a coconut milk base, as I am still not all that crazy about soy milk unless it has a very strong flavor added.
You look gorgeous in that dress!
I didn’t know there were all those new flavors out there!! I must go to the store asap….
And OMG you look gorgeous in your prom photo!! (not that I expected anything less) I love sparkly dresses. And lucky for you I was planning to post my prom picture as well… in a few days.
I JUST BOUGHT THAT ICE CREAM TWO DAYS AGO!!! its soooooooo good… i couldnt believe it!!!
hahah prom pictures.. oh lord… i gotta find some of mine
your beautiful katie
OMG I want the blueberry cheesecake! (And now that I know it’s at WF in Dallas, I might just have to take a little trip over there this weekend!) I hope they start carrying it in my little local grocery store…
That dress is FABULOUS and you look gorgeous! I’ll have to dig mine out, my dress is covered in sequins too!
I am really in love with the Good Karma rice icecream (or as I call it, ricecream).
The chocolate and peanut butter one is REALLY good
Sorry, no prom over here…
I think soy ice cream tastes as good as dairy ice cream… And today I found a new brand in the supermarket next to my home!
goodness girl, you are too pretty! Your prom dress is simply fabulous. And thanks for the heads up on the coconut based ice cream, I’ll have to check it out.
You look beautiful and the dress is great!
I’m eager to try the coconut-based icecream. So many delicious vegan ice cream in the market, these days!
God bless vegan ice cream and dancing
does life get much better??
The So Delicious coconut milk yogurt is great too! Don’t forget about it!
perfect for non-soy vegans…
I just tried the Purely Decadent Blueberry Cheesecake and the Organic Rice Divine Key Lime Pie. I’ll write more about them soon on my blog, but to put it simply…DELICIOUS!
Boooo … I’m SOY ICE CREAM deprived :0( Snickerdoodle?! What does that taste like?! I’m fascinated by the look of snickerdoodle cookies – they look PUFFY, which give me the urge to poke them … hehehe … I’m weird!
You looks so pretty!! I wonder how many guys actually asked you to be their date!
Aw you look so pretty!! I really love your dress – I wish I could go back to high school so I could go dress shopping again
)
Oh my, you look beautiful!
And your date looks like he can’t believe his luck
I went and bought the cookie dough ice cream today! It is delicious. I had some with a piece of chocolate cake I made on Sunday. YUMmy!! Totally overly endulgent…but that what makes being so much fun. Thanks so much for the recommendation.
Wow, what a beautiful dress (and you look beautiful too)! I love sparkles.
I am definitely going to try making ice cream in the Vitamix…peanut butter and banana sounds really good. Lol, my parents are trendsetters… I was in Whole Foods the other day when I was visiting my grandparents and I saw the key lime, blueberry cheesecake, and snickerdoodle flavors…they looked soo good but we were about to drive home (a 2.5 hour trip) and I knew they wouldn’t make it! Now I wish I’d bought a container and eaten it all in the car! lol.
Out of curiosity, I just looked up the history of Vitamix and they made the first one in 1937!…Wow, I didn’t even know they had blenders back then! lol.
I want to try that ice cream =O
My best friend is in Arizona atm and oh man how I wish she could bring home some ice cream, tofutti cream cheese and whatnot =(
I didn’t go to prom (we don’t even really have that here… Abi Ball maybe), so I can’t participate. But you look stunning! What a great picture =)
Thanks for the recommendation on the coconut ice cream. I bought some yesterday, and it was delicious!
Caitlin—
Haha you SHOULD have eaten the ice cream in the car ;o). Sounds like a great way to turn a boring old car ride into a fun adventure (I hate car rides).
Wow, and I’m amazed that Vitamixes have been around so long! Thanks for the trivia (learning useless trivia is always fun… if only for the fact that it may come in handy one day while doing a crossword puzzle or playing Trivial Pursuit).
ooh your prom dress is gorgeous! i would post mine..but my prom was 2 years ago so i’d feel weird haha.
ooh and i’m super excited about the coconut-milk ice cream..hmm…should be interesting!
You’ve been tagged! Here are the details. Hope you want to join in!
oh you are so beautiful! i LOVE your dress! I have slowly been incorporating more vegetarian/vegan meals (I usually eat normal breads and therefore can’t say vegan!) into my diet and I have to thank YOU for that!!! You have inspired me to make lots of new and interesting meals and both my fiance and I have been enjoying the benefits.. I feel like just by having 2 veg meals a day (and one meal that is not completely veg) I have clearer skin, more energy, feel happier, and lots of other strange positive effects. so.. thanks!
Have you tried Nada Moo? It’s made from coconut and sweetened with agave nectar and quite tasty, but a little more expensive than other non-dairy ice creams. Those other So Delicious flavors sound wonderful. I love your dress, and you look beautiful! I didn’t go to my prom, so I can’t post any photos.
What makes the vitamix so different from a blender? They are quite expensive, so I don’t just want to purchase one unless it does something different/better. Thanks for the smoothie ideas!
Nice dress! Unfortunately, the big old southern belle look was popular when I went to prom. But how I would have loved slinky and sexy.
I can’t wait to move back to the states so I can start buying vegan ice-cream again. I’m already daydreaming about how yummy that blueberry cheesecake flavor is going to be!
You look so pretty! I actually wouldn’t mind posting my junior prom picture, it was kinda cute, but it’s from back in the era before digicams, and I’m not sure I have the gumption to scan it somehow.
Katie – you look amazingly beautiful! seriously!
Amanda—
The biggest difference between my old blender and the Vitamix is that the Vitamix yields a MUCH smoother result. You don’t have to add any liquid at all to the Vitamix, so it’s much better for making thick smoothies or ice creams. And it makes hot soup in like 30 seconds and easily chops up ice… but of course if you don’t use a blender very often, then spending all the extra money probably isn’t worth it.
Key Lime So Delicious? Really? I must have some of that!
OOOOMMMGGGGGGGG
your prom picture is so beautiful!!! That dress!!! GAAHHH! You know how much I love sparkle ^^
Katie, you look gorgeous!! Oh my goodness! I <3 1 shoulder dresses and you rock it. It's so glittery too.
Beautiful!!
