Frozen yogurt substitute

My husband, who is vegan, makes his own “ice cream” with the following recipe:

2 cups vanilla or carob soy milk of your choice
1/2 c. date sugar
Heaping tablespoon of Wax Orchards peanut-butter fudge sauce (very little
fat: see note below)

Mix ingredients thoroughly in blender. Pour into ice cream maker and freeze
according to manufacturer’s directions.

Note on Wax Orchards fudge sauce: this stuff is a miracle. It is very
little fat for the peanut butter fudge and virtually NO fat for the fudge.
It is sweetened with fruit juices. You can find it in some health food
stores and/or “gourmet” stores, or mail order it from Wax Orchards —
(800) 634-6132. They make all kinds of other fruit-juice sweetened
sauces as well.

This recipe will basically be as low-fat as the soy milk that you choose
to use. Obviously, if you use a slightly higher-fat soy milk, a creamier
product will result. But, my husband has used WestSoy Lite (2 g of fat
per cup, I believe) with good results.

Rajas De Chile Poblano (Chile Poblano Strips)

Recipe By : The Cuisines of Mexico by Diana Kennedy ISBN
0-06-012344-3
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Mexican Vegetables
The Cuisines Of Mexico

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
8 chiles poblanos — roasted and peeled
6 tablespoons peanut oil
1 1/2 medium onions — thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon salt

In the central and northern part of Mexico, where the chile poblano
is used a great deal, to ask for rajas most commonly means strips of
chile poblano cooked in this way. It makes an excellent accompaniment
for broiled meats.

Remove the seeds and veins from the chiles and cut them into strips
about 1 1/2 inhes long and 1/2 inch wide. If the chiles seem too
picante, soak them in salted water for about 30 minutes.

Heat the oil and fry the onions gently, without browning them, until
they are soft.

Add the chile strips and salt to the onions in the pan, cover, and
cook gently for about 8 minutes.

You can always prepare these ahead of time and they will keep in the
refriegerator for several days. They are inclined to get a bit soggy
if you freeze them.
