Nice Cream Cooking Class at the Refuge

There’s nothing quite like cooling down with refreshing ice cream on a hot day, especially when you make it yourself with fresh ingredients. That’s why we’ve put together a vegan “Nice Cream” cooking class with instructor Leah Jamison, a self-taught baker, plant-based recipe developer, and graduate student in nutrition working toward becoming a registered dietitian! Her recipes are rooted in curiosity, cozy flavors, and a deep passion for food as medicine. Leah will walk us through how to make salted caramel nice cream complete with THREE homemade recipes (vegan ice cream, nut butter, no fuss vegan caramel). She’ll also teach us how to craft a scrumptious no-bake apple crumble with notes of cinnamon, pecan, and caramel. These delish desserts are perfect for those warm, late summer nights when it feels like all you need is a sugary treat to keep you cool. In addition to learning how to make these incredible recipes, you’ll also be treated to a mini-tour of the Refuge to meet our cow residents!
