    2.) you must name your flavor. again, get creative. come up with something a little more fun than just a list of the ingredients.

  • Oh my god. Those look amazing! I would love a veganized version of the Indian Kulfi ice cream, probably with pistachios. Here’s info on Kulfi: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kulfi

    I’d call it Kreative Kulfi or something like that, and I think it would be hugely popular. I hope I win, QG!!!

  • jalapeno ice cream. i call it spicy mami.

  • Toasted marshmellow ice cream with chocolate fudge swrill and ghram cracker crumbs!

    I call it S’more Love!

  • Rocky Road Less Traveled

    Chocolate ice cream, vegan marshmallows, chopped walnuts (the old school recipe)

  • Spiced Cream:
    coffee, cardamon, ricotta cheese

    Pinocchio
    Sour cream, Pistachio

    Dark Energy
    Dark chocolate/ acaii berry flavored ice cream with dried acaii berries and dark chocolate chunks

  • Mr. E. Vegan May 8th, 2010 at 10:13

    Coconut and coriander, with a hint of hibiscus. Call it Coco & Co (after the song of the same name by Serge Gainsbourg).

  • :: Cop’s Breakfast ::

    Coffee ice cream w/pieces of glazed donuts mixed in

  • Salted Deep Cocoa Caramel: salted caramel w/ dark chocolate ice cream !!!

  • I’m not even going to try to make a flavor, I’m terrible at stuff like this.
    But just wanted to post and say those vegan ice-cream pictures look amazingly delicious and tempting!!

  • “Yogi bare”

    tangy plain yogurt like pinkberry. I know pinkberry is the devil but I miss the flavor of plain frozen yogurt. Yum!

  • Mine is called “happy hour”.

    It’s based on the raw mooi jalapeño poppers you posted on before. Cheese-flavored ice cream with bits of jalapeno and fake bacon. 🙂

  • Tiramisu!

    Soft spongy cake, soft ice cream, coffee flavored with chocolate sprinkles on top.

    I’d call it Terrormisu, as it would be scarily good!

  • “Cracker Jack”
    Salted caramel ice cream with peanuts and/or peanut butter swirl

  • Fakin’ Bakin’

    Bacon flavored ice cream with bacon bits. These days bacon had a certain cachet with omnivores so let’s one up them with an awesome vegan alternative?

  • carob apple swirl.

    cacao flavored based with carob and apple chunks!

  • open sesame: toasted sesame ice cream with little chunks of sesame candy or halvah…

  • espresso ice cream base with banana swirlies with maybe some sort of marshmellowy swirl as well, to create the illusion of the foam in a latte (?), coffee+banana is super yummy. I’d call it, A Latt-a-Banana. This was a great contest idea!

  • my mouth is watering!

    how about new orleans nectar creme? i would love to have a healthier, veganized version of a childhood favorite – a snowball drenched in nectar syrup (tastes like cherry-almond-creme soda) with condensed milk topping!

  • Spiraling Green Goddess

    spirulina ice cream with spirals of dark cacao winding thru…

  • Duke of Earl

    Earl grey tea ice cream with cacao nibs suspended throughout…

    ferment me

    (like a bellini sorbet)
    coconut water, peach, kombucha, chunks of cherry

  • Nekko chan

    black sesame ice cream w/ red bean swirl and black sesame chunks

  • Bourbon Bonanza. Vanilla ice cream with real bourbon and caramel swirl. Pure. Simple. Delicious!

  • “almonds ahoy”

    almond coconut flavored ice cream with swirls of chocolate and coconut flakes and salty almond pieces

    like an almond joy but better!!

  • Birthday Cake Ice Cream

    Vanilla ice cream + Vanilla Frosted (colored-obvi) Birthday Cake pieces. Because the best party of birthday cake is being able to mash it together with ice cream.

    And all the birthday parties I go to now are in bars and there is no cake. There is no ice cream. And no bouncy tent. I hate being a grown up.

  • Might I also add, there is nothing better than left over birthday cake that has been in the fridge for a day or so. Yeah, I’m weird.

  • shortyjessie May 8th, 2010 at 17:53

    Rich vanilla bean – strong vanilla flavor with vanilla bean

  • Veggywood Person, I am completely with you on the birthday cake + ice-cream awesomeness. Birthday cake alone, or ice-cream alone, is pretty good already. However when you combine them you have arrived at extreme stellar dessert heaven.

    Everyones’ flavors sound pretty good. I will be happy no matter who wins!!

  • Trifle!!
    Sponge cake/ladyfinger chucks, custard swirl, whipped cream, raspberry jam swirl, amaretto, cherries
    best. desert. ever. needed in vegan ice cream form!

  • Life is a Cabernet:
    Dark chocolate + Cabernet Sauvignon base with cherry chunks

  • I don’t live in LA, so this is probably moot, but here’s my 2 cents:

    1) Red Lentil-Orange-Licorice

    2) Banana-Rhubarb-Cinnamon

  • 1)Strawberry shortcake
    2)Green Tea Mochi ice cream
    3)Tiramisu ice cream
    4) Avocado with walnuts

  • “strawberry fields for never!”

    Ice cream that tastes like strawbery, but with no chunks.

  • I hope something s’mores themed wins. I’d love a chocolate ice cream, with pieces of graham cracker and marshmallow swirl. Maybe bits of dark chocolate too.

  • or strawberry-rhubarb!

  • Billy Goat – Goat Cheese Caramel Ice Cream !

  • How about “Chick-O and the Man(go)”

  • Mooi-tella ice cream!

    A vegan version of Nutella swirled into vegan hazelnut ice cream, cinnamon and hazelnuts.

  • This isn’t original, but there desperately needs to be an ice cream flavor as delicious as the frosting on Native Food’s rose cardamom cupcake. Cardamom ice cream base with rosewater frosting swirls. I’d call it Everything’s Cardamom Roses.

    OR Valentine’s Day: Rosewater ice cream base with date bits and date syrup swirls.

    OR All That Jazz: Jasmine green tea ice cream base, plain and simple.

  • Loads of cherries with chunks of blondies (vanilla brownies) and chocolate shavings in vanilla ice cream…

    Black and white and red all over

  • we need a flavor like a lemon bar: a tart lemon base with crumbles of shortbread like cookie. call it “eureka.”

  • Chocolate Stout

    (mildly chocolate) stout beer ice cream with cacao fudge swirls winding thru…

  • I call this ice cream flavor Fluffer Nutter Crunch

    It’s a peanut butter ice cream base with fluffy vegan marshallows and bits of dark chocolate almond bark and praline.

  • I used to love World Class Chocolate at Baskin Robbins: 1/2 chocolate and 1/2 white chocolate

    S’mores sounds good too, though: marshmallow ice cream with fudge swirl and graham cracker chunks

  • Or
    Vanilla ice cream, peanut butter and grape jelly

    “sack lunch staple”

    Festivus:
    The cinnamon-and–brown sugar ice cream swirled with gingerbread cookie crumbles and ginger-caramel sauce

  • James and the Giant Peach – peach ice cream (coconut milk base would be delicious) including fresh peach pieces, with essence of lavender and fresh mint. Infusing the sugar with the lavender and mint would be a yummy way to add the flavors without there being big leaves/flowers in the ice cream. Macadamia nuts would be a good addition, too.
