Irresistible Vegan Chocolate Spiced Ice Cream (No-Churn) Recipe

filed in:

This Vegan Chocolate Spiced ice cream is not only simply and fun to make, but it’s also a great way to cool off during the summer. When you consume something that’s colder than your body temperature (the ice cream), your body has to use energy to warm the ice cream up to body temperature, which in turn can create a cooling effect. This is a process known as “diet-induced thermogenesis.” Additionally, the sensory perception of the creamy and refreshing taste of ice cream can often lead to a psychological perception of cooling down.
