My last full Saturday in DC, my friend Jon and I finished a multi-year project: Watching ALL of Star Trek. There is SO MUCH Star Trek! Daaang. But we finished just in time, and made this to eat while we watched the final episode of Enterprise.

Goodbye, Enterprise!

Ingredients:

• 2 cup soy creamer
• 1 cup soy milk
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons arrowroot
• 1 tablespoon vanilla
• 1 cup chopped Oreo cookies

Stir together 1/4 cup of the soy milk and the arrowroot in a small bowl and set aside.

This recipe looks pretty boring for a while...

Combine the soy cream, the rest of the soy milk, and the sugar in a pot on the stove and bring to a boil.

As soon as it begins to boil, remove from the heat and stir in the arrowroot mixture, followed by the vanilla. Transfer to a bowl and cool in the fridge until chilled, at least 2 hours.

Freeze the chilled mixture according to your ice cream maker’s directions, adding the Oreos in the last 5 minutes. The ice cream maker we were using doesn’t really allow you to add things while it’s going, so our cookies were in for a long time and were mostly crushed up, turning the ice cream brown. If you add yours just at the end, they should still mainly be whole chunks in off-white ice cream.

It doesn’t taste vegany, whatever that would mean, just like delicious cookies and cream ice cream! Perfect way to end Star Trek.

PIG BOWL!
