This time I made a vegan blue ice cream bombe with homemade vegan stracciatella ice cream and vegan blue ice cream flavored with vanilla bean and rum.

I tried how blue I could dye ice cream with natural blue food coloring.

This time I used almost all blue food coloring from one head of red cabbage per 3.5 cups ice cream base: The ice cream had a beautiful blue color, but it tasted a bit of red cabbage, therefore I added rum – and none of my test eaters noticed the red cabbage! 😉

  1. Lina, I saw the thumbnail and just had to follow the link to check it out! The blue cake is wonderful. The color is terrific. I thought it was going to be blueberries for color. Thanks for sharing. Sylvia D.
