Traditionally ice creams have depended on the richness of diary fat to create a rich, creamy frozen treats. But innovative chefs like Mel Boccia & Melanie Richards have come up with ingenious non-dairy techniques to create fabulous, decadent and delicious frozen desserts that anyone can make and everyone can enjoy. And since they are made with wholesome, natural and plant-based ingredients, you can indulge with a clear conscience.

This fun, hands-on class will explore the differences between sorbets, ice creams and gelatti, and the techniques and ingredients for creating outstanding non-dairy frozen treats at home. You’ll learn plant-based recipes for a creamy, cashew cream based Pistachio Ice Cream, as well as a rich, coconut-based Dark Chocolate Ice Cream. The class will also cover a few exquisite toppings like a raw chocolate sauce, salted almond caramel and candied cherries for a full-on ice cream party!
