    Juneteenth | The Vgn Way

    Juneteenth is a day to celebrate the rich tradition of great African American foods; like our Hibiscus Strawberry Vegan ice cream.

    Looking for more delicious recipes to celebrate, check out 20 of the best Vegan Juneteenth recipes here.

    We joined other Black Food blogger in a Juneteenth cookout takeover to amplify and honor the food traditions of African Americans.

    Foods Connection With Juneteenth

    The Juneteenth holiday consists of red foods and drinks as part of the celebration of freedom. Red is a symbol of perseverance. Foods like strawberry soda, kola nut tea, hibiscus tea, watermelon, red velvet cake, and strawberry pie are all customary items included in festivities.

    We thought this vegan Hibiscus & Strawberry ice cream was a perfect way to celebrate that.

    This naturally dairy-free plant-based ice cream gets its sweet and tart flowery flavor from hibiscus and strawberries. Its velvety texture comes from a combination of oat milk and Lyle's Golden syrup.

    What Is Hibiscus (Sorrel) Tea?

    Hibiscus Tea Leaves | The Vgn Way

    This is a flower that is dried into a caffeine-free herbal tea. It’s red in color, packed with antioxidants including vitamin C. Hibiscus is very aromatic and has a sweet and tart flavor.

    Does This Ice Cream Taste Like Coconut?

    Only slightly. We read a lot of recipes and although we like coconut, sometimes you want other flavors. We wanted the creaminess you get from full-fat coconut milk; however, to tame some of the flavor, we used a smaller proportion of coconut milk than other recipes called for and added oat milk to the recipe.

    Along with coconut milk and oat milk this recipe calls for cornstarch to help thicken the mixture.

    What Is Golden Syrup And Why Are We Using It In Vegan Ice Cream?

    Golden syrup is a thick amber-colored sweetener that looks similar to honey. It is made from sugar cane or sugar beets. It is used in a variety of baking recipes and desserts. Since sugar affects the texture in frozen things. We added Golden syrup to make our ice cream creamier and less icy.

    Where Can I Buy Vegan Gluten-free Ice Cream Cones?

    Note: Full disclosure to really make the color pop we added a tablespoon of beet juice. It didn’t alter the flavor or texture just really gave it the wonderful fuchsia color.

      with my Caribbean roots anything with sorrel calls my name. The combination of strawberry and sorrel was so good. I will definitely be making this again and again throughout the rest of the summer.
