(L): hey y'all welcome back to Make It Dairy Free I am Larisha (A) I
am Andrew and we are the tag team duo at makeitdairyfree.com (L) and we're
together today (A): Yes! (L): yes and we are making vegan ice
cream bread (A): Yeahhhhhhhhh. (L):you just had to get that in there
somewhere right (A): that's my thing okay what do you want me to say
(upbeat music playing, fades to background when speaking begins again)
(L):all right so if you haven't seen it by now Lizzo
is now vegan and she made a viral tik tok video that was called
vegan ice cream bread and we had never heard of ice cream bread (A):nope
(L): had no idea what it was so we thought that we would test it out
based on some recipes that we saw on the internet that all were pretty
much the same and then of course Andrew had to
one-up everybody and do his own thing (A):we have
two different ice cream brands today we have
Nada Moo birthday cake brand and we have Ben and Jerry's both of these brands are
our favorite the ben jerry's one is an exclusive
flavor so you may not be able to find that everywhere it is
chocolate salted and swirled (L): yes that's what it is (A): i'm just trying to
(L): you're trying to read upside down and it's like ehhh (A): what we wanted to do was test out
two different dairy-free brands um
one because we wanted to see if it would work with both of them
but two we also read on was it tasty's website
(L): yep (A): um that either low-fat or dairy-free
ice cream wouldn't work at all so um you know we know we gotta
you know prove that wrong for sure (L): yeah we're not we don't accept that answer
(A): no not at all (L): we can make anything vegan (A): damn right
(L): why you got your apron on (A): because i'm ready
(L): what you ready for? (A): what you mean i'm i'm ready to i'm
ready to make... like why don't you have an apron on like what's up
(L)I I never wear my apron no more (A): yeah you tripping yeah you gotta always have an apron on
but um either way let's get into uh you know her baby bread
all right so the first bread we did was one we saw on a majority of websites
you can use self-rising flour or if you can't find it you can do what we did
here which was mix a combination of all-purpose flour with baking powder and
salt whisk that together and then you are
going to add in softened dairy-free ice cream
we are using Nadamoo birthday cake but any dairy-free ice cream will work
you can tell here that it's not super soft and we agreed that we should have
let it soften a bit more when we were making this
mix that together until no flour remains and if you wanted you could add in extra
vegan sprinkles vegan chocolate chips and more
then it's time to get that in your pan we always put down parchment paper to
get things out easier but that's totally optional it's pretty sticky but do your
best to get it into one even layer and then bake it until a toothpick comes out clean.
so after seeing Larisha's baby bread um i wasn't planning to let that happen
to me so i upped the flour and started to wonder if the ice cream
was going to be enough wet ingredient after adding all the dry
stuff i um
that wasn't me
i got everything into the bowl and began mixing it was coming together
but i noticed i may end up over mixing if i kept going
over mixing typically makes your bread stiff so i had to do something to make
sure this wasn't gonna be like a rock hard
bread with a tablespoon at a time i added some almond milk to help balance
things out the batter became easier to mix next i
dumped it into the pan and it was easy to spread it out
from here right into the oven (L): all right so we
just showed you guys how we made both of these and
now we want to actually show you what it looks like
on here (A):Yup. (L): so this was the one that we made the
traditional way that we saw pretty much all across the internet he
keeps calling it my baby bread whatever um but you can tell like the
actual difference like it is much thinner it did rise you could tell like
we thought when we put it into the pan we were like oh my gosh this is gonna be
like this big (A): yeah that (L): it did definitely rise
(A): flat bread or something (L): um but it's really really soft (A): it is
(L): um and you can see i don't know how much you can see but like the texture it's
kind of crumbly (A): maybe you like break it apart
i'll show folks that way (L): like it's kind of crumbly
but it's still it is so soft yeah like look it like bounces back up
(A): yeah in my bread we made a couple tweaks to
the flour and we added just a little bit more liquid
to help balance out the dry and the wet ingredients and as you can see it made
a world of a difference um in terms of uh why are you looking at me
like that (L): because you're just you want to say like
my baby my bread's not a baby bread (A):i'm just i'm just look at your bread
though (L): whatever but yours is like just as soft too
as this one (A): yeah nah 100 percent um nice and soft uh here's a piece that we kind of cut
off and as you can see like super easy to kind
of just flake um or break i should say um
it's pretty crumbly as you can see too kind of just falls off (L): yeah just one
other thing that we wanted to mention is that we used baking powder and
stop it we used baking powder and all-purpose flour
in our recipe (A): yeah (L): most of the recipes that we saw called for self-rising flour
but it is quarantine and we couldn't find that so
in the post you can see directions for either using
self-rising flour or how we described it in the video that we showed just a few
minutes ago all right so do you want to taste it (A):yup (L): all right
let's go all right i'm gonna cut a different piece (A): we've
heard that this doesn't have much flavor
(L): right like it just still tastes like bread like it's not
i don't know you can kind of see because this is the birthday cake one i know you
guys can't see it in from here but like you can see like the
little actual like confetti (A): what happened to my piece of confetti (L): no
you had some turn it see like the yellow yellow (A): ah, okay yeah (L): all
right ready yep all right let's do it
it's chewy
so i immediately like get hints of i can taste the birthday cake but
it's it's kind of like a really dense cake (A): um
(L)no? (A): i don't i don't know if i would say dense
like to me it still feels very aerated and fluffy
but it's it's chewy like i don't i don't think it's very
dense at all like it's this isn't like hard to bite through or anything
(L): no yeah that's not really what i mean i just meant like i guess the chewiness is
just like it feels heavier than like cake
(A): uh it's not cake though (L): it's not cake it's bread
i'm just (A): oh like (L): just trying to compare (A):so i think in terms of a bread i think it
tastes very close to like uh like a traditional
like loaf of bread in terms of chewiness not like a uh like a quick bread so you
can see like uh like little little dark bits of it
you see can you see that probably not (L): i don't know i don't know (A): right there
you can see like a little dark (L): there you go
all right ready (A): yeah so ready
i would say the same honestly
like everything is just a hint of the flavor of ice cream (L): right like it's not
it's not very sweet it's not very strong you can
you can tell that like there's like birthday cake in this like
that's what it's supposed to be you can tell that this is supposed to be
chocolate but it's not like scooping it out and
like that sweetness that you get straight from (A): Yeah
(L): like a spoon of ice cream but i like that yours like
i don't really think that there's much difference in like the texture or
the moistness but moistness (A): moistnesss
(L): but you obviously get more from just like a couple of changes that we made
(A): yeah no for sure (L): yeah (A): funny thing is is that this has
more liquid in it and um it still has the same amount of flavor
(L): right (A): you know what i mean and it has more flour
(L): yeah (A): so it has the same amount of flavor and you have more bread
(L): so i think that like one thing people might want to know
is like when you would serve something like this yeah obviously
if you just want to test it out and you're having fun you could serve at any
time (A): all day (L): um but we were talking and i
think that like one idea that no matter like what
type of party or holiday it is this is kind of good for everybody
because there's like always people there that they don't want something super
sweet that i think that this would appeal to
but also um we were saying that instead of like
biscuits for like a strawberry shortcake that this would be good to
like cut a slice and top with like vegan whipped topping and some
strawberries or another fruit (A): agree (L): um and it would just balance like a
little bit more sweetness with a little bit more
like not so sweet bread (A):yeah, it does remind you a lot of like that biscuit texture
(L): yeah (A): for sure (L): because it is i mean you can see there's crumbles
you guys can't see but we can there's like crumbles like oh (A): it's flaky
(L): back here (A): pretty flaky yeah recommendations probably to make this
better so first of all um i would recommend
making this version of it rather than the
quote-unquote traditional version of it (L): the baby bread (A): yeah the
yeah exactly um so you know adding a little bit more
flour um in order to get it to a good size a
good edible size especially if you have a family like we do
added a little bit more milk uh just to help balance out
the obviously the wet and dry ingredients but i would also probably
just sweeten it a little bit more just so it can be
more like a like a quick bread um i'm not sure how much more right now
what would you think (L)I I wouldn't say a lot because again like
i don't think it's supposed to be like overly sweet
um but also like you could technically use like any type of
sweetener like if you're buying like pints of ice cream like this you're not
worried about it being super healthy (A): yeah for sure (L) so you don't necessarily need to
worry about like date syrup or something like that but like maple syrup or
something would easily be able to pour and be able to stir in there
or agave (A): for sure (L): yeah but maybe just like you know yeah one
spoon or two (A)I I would definitely yeah definitely do a
little bit more of a sweetener um with it
(L): and we had also seen um like you could totally like
you know add in some like vegan sprinkles or chocolate chips
you know just to make it a little bit more of your own thing
yeah make this more look like a birthday cake or something you know (L): yeah
(A): do something to this bad boy yeah cause i mean there's sprinkles in here but
it's not a ton so like you could totally just (A): they
completely just like (L): you know so do you think that you would
make this again? or is it just kind of like oh we made it
(A): no honestly i wouldn't i wouldn't make this again like this
buying this pint ice cream um the cost of it
to make something like this not a recommendation (L:): right and even like
our vegan ice cream that we make it would definitely work in something like
this um but again like it's almost cost
prohibitive cost prohibitive and
honestly i just like this on a spoon (A): yeah
(L): straight into my mouth (A): 100 percent (L): all right so thank you guys so much for watching this
video (A): yes (L): if you do happen to make it because
