Moon Mist Ice Cream is an East Coast Canada classic! If you have not had the culinary pleasure, this is a combination of 3 flavours : banana, grape, and bubblegum. If you didn’t grow up with it, it sounds a little strange, and if you did grow up with it you don’t want to live without it.

The dairy free, gluten free, soy free version of Moon Mist will have you reliving your greatest childhood memories!

Wondering why its called ‘Melted’ Moon Mist? Because otherwise you have to make 3 flavours of ice cream… this version mixes the flavours all together. Your tastebuds won’t know the difference and you’ll save yourself a lot of time and effort.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of raw cashews
• 1 cup of water
• 1 can of coconut milk
• 6 egg yolks
• sparse 1/2 cup of sugar (fill 1/2 cup and shake a little out)
• 1/4 cup of honey
• 1/4 tsp of salt
• Add ins (after base is made) flavour oils : Banana, Grape, Bubble Gum*

Directions for Deluxe Cooking Blender:

• Add all ingredients to Deluxe Cooking Blender, turn to GRIND and press start.
• Turn dial to SAUCE, press start. When blender prompts to ADD press cancel
• Add flavour oils, pulse.
• Pour through a fine mesh strainer and cool in the fridge for 4 hours or overnight
• Put chilled mixture through an ice cream maker then store in a freezer safe container

Directions without Deluxe Cooking Blender:

• Add all ingredients to high powered blender until smooth.
• Transfer to a pot and heat on stovetop until mixture reaches 165 F, but does not surpass 185 F (below 165 you risk illness, above 185 you are no longer making tempered eggs, you are making scrambled eggs, which will be less than delightful in your ice cream)
• Add flavour oils
• Stir
• Pour through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl
• Put mixture in fridge for 4 hours or overnight
• Put chilled mixture through an ice cream maker then store in a freezer safe container

This ice cream will remain scoopable and delicious for days. It won’t be the hard as a rock ice cube that homemade ice cream can so easily become. This is the magic of the egg yolks.

* I use Lorann flavouring oils. They are super concentrated, last a long while and have a lot of flavours available. Check it out for purchase through Amazon here: Lorann Oils
