FAQs

What is Affogato? More traditionally known as “affogato al caffe”, affogato is an Italian espresso based dessert usually served as a scoop of vanilla ice cream/ dairy free ice cream or gelato with a shot of hot espresso or coffee poured over top. You drink affogato by scooping the ice cream into a small glass or bowl + slowly pouring the espresso over top. The name “affogato” originates from the Italian word “affogare” meaning “ to drown”, which is essentially what you are doing when pouring the hot espresso over the cool dairy free vanilla ice cream.

Why CBD? CBD oil has many known benefits, including increasing calm and focus, decreasing inflammation or anxious feelings, and helping with a more restful night’s sleep. Making CBD ice cream is a wonderful way to use CBD oil in cooking. CBD ice cream is a great treat to enjoy in the evening because infusing the ice cream with the benefits of CBD oil may help you relax, unwind, and have a better night’s sleep.

Will CBD Oil Get Me High?: CBD, otherwise known as Cannabidol, is one of the naturally occurring compounds in industrial hemp and also cannabis, along with Tetrahydrocannabinol, more commonly referred to as THC. CBD is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid and will not get you high, but there are some known side effects which are fatigue, irritability, dry mouth, and nausea.

Which ice cream maker should you use? The best ice cream maker for homemade ice cream made fast is the Cuisinart 2Qt Frozen Yogurt Sorbet Ice Cream Maker. I do not recommend trying to make this dairy free ice cream without an ice cream maker.

Will Homemade Dairy Free Ice Cream Stay Creamy? Because homemade dairy free ice cream is not made using milk + eggs, and does not include any gums or preservatives, it may not be as creamy as you know store bought ice cream to be after spending time in the freezer. I find that homemade dairy free ice cream is at its creamiest around 2-3 hours after freezing. After that, I recommend that you thaw the dairy free ice cream at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes after it has been frozen. Alternatively, if you like super creamy homemade ice cream, you can eat it straight away after churning for a delicious soft serve option!
