I’ve enjoyed cool, delicious vegan ice cream on waffles a few times this summer. Recently, I made some homemade vegan ice cream for a potluck and it turned out particularly well–in terms of both flavor and appearance.
Cashew-based peanut butter fudge vegan ice cream
It’s based upon the cashew-based chocolate ice cream recipe from Jeff Rogers’ Vice Cream: Gourmet Vegan Desserts. Before getting Vice Cream, I never would have considered making ice cream from cashews. Talk about decadent! For this dish, I basically made the recipe slightly less sweet and more chocolatey, and swirled in some natural peanut butter and dark chocolate fudge sauce (any chocolate sauce would work) just before putting it in the freezer to ripen.

On a recent visit to Ithaca, New York, we had the opportunity to visit one of this year’s Global Vegan Waffle Party hosts–the just-opened Waffle Frolic Waffle Bar and Coffee House. We obviously had to eat there, given our recent discovery that a “waffle frolic” was apparently a long-lost predecessor to the modern waffle party that we’ve grown to love so much. Waffles are only one of the items on their menu, and there are several vegan menu options so far.
Here are the remaining fun photos from our 2010 Global Vegan Waffle Party photo contest! I’m looking forward to more fun submissions next year; and if you have any you forgot to submit for this year, feel free to post them to the Facebook page. Keep in mind that although the primary party season is over, no one’s stopping you from having other vegan waffle related events.
Cutest vegan waffle-eating kids
Dallas R. of Minneapolis, MN, US submitted several photos of cute kids eating vegan waffles. Two in particular stood out, with the tiebreaker being that the girls in this picture are actually eating their waffles, while the boy in the runner-up photo appears to favor the watermelon over the waffles (see album). Not that there’s anything wrong with fresh, juicy watermelon! [Read more →]
A few weeks ago I suggested some creative ideas for photos from vegan waffle parties, and was excited to receive some great submissions. Where a submission didn’t indicate a particular category–either one I had suggested or one created by the host–I picked one or two photos out and assigned them a category.
Collection of cuteness
Aletha A.’s Pontiac, MI, US vegan waffle party photos were captured by Agnes Domanska. Aletha labeled a photo with her friend (on our right) as “cutest cook.” So here you have a cute host, a cute cook, and even a cute toaster. Thus, best “Collection of cuteness.” Perhaps next year we’ll also see a Hello Kitty waffle maker! [Read more →]
This was a very exciting year for the Global Vegan Waffle Party, with around 70 hosts signing up for events. Many thanks to all who participated, either by hosting, attending, telling a friend, or even simply joining the Facebook Vegan Waffles page.

What made this year particularly great was the variety of ways in which people hosted parties, and the variety of ways in which they had impact. Some of you truly raised the bar a few notches. There’s not room to discuss all of the events here, but following are some highlights that hosts have submitted. A few details on earlier parties are in earlier posts here and on the Facebook page. We’ll be featuring more of the photos here in the near future! [Read more →]
