Is cauliflower ice cream really a thing? Spoiler alert: Yes, it is.
Just when I thought we’d hit the peak of culinary absurdity with cauliflower pizza crust, along comes this new disaster: cauliflower ice cream. I was in the midst of a heated debate about whether riced cauliflower truly qualifies as pizza crust when this nightmare popped up in my feed.
Let’s get one thing straight: calling a mash of cauliflower with some tomato sauce and cheese a pizza is like slapping tomato sauce on a tortilla and declaring it a pizza. Awful.
Now, don’t come at me with pitchforks if you have genuine gluten or dairy intolerances. If that’s the case, you’ve got a free pass to explore whatever food alternatives you need without judgment. This isn’t about you. It’s about all those trendy wellness enthusiasts who try to convince the rest of us to join them on their diet bandwagon during sacred pizza night. Keep your mashed cauliflower away from my face, or I’ll just burst into tears.
But back to the topic at hand: cauliflower ice cream. Yes, it’s a thing. The recipe calls for six ounces of frozen riced cauliflower, four ounces of frozen strawberries, a quarter cup of pitaya puree (seriously, what is that?), some sweetened condensed coconut milk, cinnamon, and vanilla bean paste. And just like that, you can create something that may just make any adult cry.
If you’re seeking non-dairy ice cream, there are countless delicious options out there. Coconut ice cream? Divine. Or how about freezing a banana and blending it? You don’t need to ruin dessert with cauliflower, which, by the way, tastes like… well, cauliflower. No amount of sweetening will change that fact.
I admit, I’m curious enough to try it. Now I just need to figure out where to find that elusive pitaya!
