07-Chocolate-Cinnamon Ice Cream

Recipe By : Mark Foy

Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:45

Categories : 07-Frozen Desserts

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

CUSTARD

1 1/4 cups cashews -- raw

(or non-smoky pine nuts - see "Glossary

of Ingredients" for more information)

1 3/8 teaspoons white stevia powder

(equivalent. to about 3 1/2 Tb. blended

stevia)

(see stevia in Glossary of Ingredients)

(or 1/2 cup of maple syrup plus 1/4 cup

of sucanat sugar)

1 cup white grape juice

2 cups water

1 teaspoon lecithin

1 pinch sea salt

85 grams chocolate, bittersweet, dairy-free -- finely

chopped

(about 3/4 cup when chopped)

(or 3/4 cup dairy-free chocolate chips)

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 teaspoon cinnamon "extract"/flavor

GARNISH

1 teaspoon chocolate, bittersweet, dairy-free -- shaved

1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon

CUSTARD

Blend all custard ingredients (except vanilla, cinnamon extract, and

melted chocolate) at a very high speed until nuts are completely pureed

(not gritty) and mixture is smooth.

Part way through the blending, turn off the machine and use a spatula

along the sides of the blender to dislodge any nuts or other ingredients

that might be clinging to the inside walls. This should reduce the

number of unblended bits in the final custard mixture.

Total time for blending should be about 7 minutes at high speed or

longer for blenders that blend at lower speeds.

Transfer mixture to a sauce pan. Add chopped chocolate. Heat over

medium heat to thicken custard. Mix frequently with a wire whisk

(especially so chocolate does not stick to the bottom of the pan). Heat

at low simmer for about 8 minutes. Mix in vanilla extract and cinnamon

"extract".

It is best to freeze ice cream custard when the custard is cold. If the

mixture is too warm, some ice cream makers will not be able to fully

freeze the mixture. Therefore, in general, it is recommended that the

mixture be refrigerated before it is placed in the ice cream maker.

When freezing the custard in an ice cream maker, follow the

manufacturer's direction for freezing. In general, freezing takes

approximately 30 minutes, but this will vary depending upon the machine,

ingredients, and temperature of the mixture.

If you do not have an ice cream maker, start with the refrigerated

mixture and pour into a large rectangular pan, freeze until solid (but

not hard) and blend again. Freeze in a regular bowl. Remove from

freezer about 30 minutes before serving.

GARNISH

Garnish individual servings with shaved chocolate and a dash of ground

cinnamon. Makes about 4 cups.

VARIATIONS:

- As the sweetener, you can use conventional sweeteners - use any

combination of unrefined sweeteners (maple syrup, brown rice syrup,

barley malt syrup, agave syrup, etc) - you will probably want about 3/4

cup of conventional sweeteners if you are not using stevia - the amount

will vary depending on the sweetness of the sweeteners you choose

(sucanat is much sweeter than brown rice syrup), and your taste (see

"Dessert Notes" for more information about sweeteners).

NOTES : - The idea of this ice cream is to use as little sugar as

possible.

- This ice cream is made with no sugar, and the only source of sugar

grams is the white grape juice (and what little sugar is in the

bittersweet chocolate) - the only substantial sweetener is stevia, a

very sweet herb that has a slightly bitter edge, and no calories. The

bitter edge of the stevia is an acceptable match with the chocolate and

the cinnamon. See the Glossary of Ingredients for more information

about stevia.

- Since sugars add substantially to the texture of ice cream (makes it

freeze more smoothly and not as solid), and since this recipe has so

little sugar (the only real source of sugars is from the white grape

juice), the texture of this ice cream is really best right after being

made in an ice cream maker. If frozen overnight, it will be quite hard

with a certain amount of graininess.

- Toast and glaze nuts as described in the front of this book.

1 cup white grape juice

1 1/2 cups water

1/4 cup Sucanat sugar

(or granulated sugar)

1/4 cup maple syrup

1/4 cup brown rice syrup

1 teaspoon lecithin

1 pinch sea salt

85 grams chocolate, bittersweet, dairy-free -- cut in

chunks

(about 3/4 cup when cut)

(or 3/4 cup dairy-free chocolate chips)

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

ADDITIONS

1/4 cup macadamia nuts -- toasted, glazed

GARNISH

2 tablespoons macadamia nuts -- toasted, glazed

1 teaspoon chocolate, bittersweet, dairy-free -- shaved

CUSTARD

Blend all custard ingredients (except vanilla and melted chocolate) at a

approximately 30 minutes, but this will vary depending upon the machine,

ingredients, and temperature of the mixture.

ADDITIONS

You will want to add the toasted/glazed macadamia nuts to the ice cream

custard while it is freezing so these nuts stay in chunks in the final

ice cream. When doing the freezing in an ice cream maker, add the nuts

about 10 minutes into the freezing process.

If you do not have an ice cream maker, start with the refrigerated

mixture and pour into a large rectangular pan, freeze until solid (but

not hard) and blend again. Freeze in a regular bowl. Remove from

freezer about 30 minutes before serving.

CUSTARD

1 quart rice dream¨ -- (any flavor desired)

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons brown rice syrup

2 tablespoons maple syrup

1 tablespoon Sucanat sugar

(or granulated sugar)

1 pinch sea salt

GARNISH

1/2 cup fresh fruit slices

6 pinches ground cinnamon

CUSTARD

Start with all custard ingredients as cold as possible.

Blend all custard ingredients until well integrated, smooth, and frothy

(at least 3 minutes).

It is best to freeze ice cream custard when the custard is cold. If the

mixture is too warm, some ice cream makers will not be able to fully

freeze the mixture. Therefore, in general, it is recommended that the

mixture be refrigerated before it is placed in the ice cream maker.

pan, freeze until solid (but not hard) and blend again. Freeze in a

regular bowl. Remove from freezer about 30 minutes before serving.

GARNISH

Garnish individual servings. Makes about 4 cups.

VARIATIONS:

- Use soy milk in place of rice milk (rice dream) - taste after mixing

to see if more sweetener is needed since soy milks are generally not as

sweet as rice milks. Remember, when frozen, it will not taste as sweet.

- Use various flavorings in place of or in combination with the vanilla

extract and cinnamon, such as other extracts, liqueurs, juices, syrups,

fruit, cocoa, or carob.

- Add toasted chopped nuts while in the ice cream maker to make a chunky

style ice cream.

- For a richer ice cream, add 1 to 4 tablespoons of high oleic sunflower

oil (or unrefined coconut oil) and 1 to 2 teaspoon of lecithin.

- As the sweetener, any combination of unrefined sweeteners (maple

syrup, brown rice syrup, barley malt syrup, agave syrup, etc) can be

used, and in varying amounts depending on your tastes (see "Dessert

Notes" for more information about sweeteners).

almonds. This will produce more of a sorbet texture (similar to ice

milk) rather than an ice cream texture.

1 1/2 cups white grape juice

1/2 cup water

1/4 cup brown rice syrup

1/4 cup maple syrup

1/4 cup Sucanat sugar

(or granulated sugar)

1 pinch sea salt

1 teaspoon lecithin

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup espresso, decaffeinated, brewed

ADDITIONS

85 grams chocolate, bittersweet, dairy-free -- cut in

chunks/melted

(about 3/4 cup when cut)

(or 3/4 cup dairy-free chocolate chips)

2 tablespoons Sucanat sugar

2 tablespoons chopped nuts -- toasted

(or with glazed toasted nuts - e.g.,

Frangelico-Glazed Toasted Hazelnuts)

CUSTARD

Blend all custard ingredients (except vanilla, espresso, melted

chocolate, and the last portion of sugar) at a very high speed until

nuts are completely pureed (not gritty) and mixture is smooth.

Part way through the blending, turn off the machine and use a spatula

along the sides of the blender to dislodge any nuts or other ingredients

ADDITIONS

While the ice cream is being frozen in the ice cream maker, melt the

chocolate. Once melted, stir in the sucanat sugar. Once the ice cream

is done freezing in the ice cream maker (see note about how this ice

cream freezes due to the high alcohol content), add drips of the melted

chocolate/sugar mixture to the ice cream, and mix in. The chocolate

should immediately become hard on hitting the ice cream, but you only

want to end up with small chunks, so do not add too much chocolate at

one time, and mix it in right away (use a spoon to chop chunks up if

they end up too large).

If you do not have an ice cream maker, start with the refrigerated

mixture and pour into a large rectangular pan, freeze until solid (but

not hard) and blend again. Add melted chocolate as described above.

Freeze in a regular bowl. Remove from freezer about 30 minutes before

- "Sambuca-Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream" - Use Sambuca (this is an anise

flavored liquor) in place of Kahlua.

- Replace the Kahlua with another type of liqueur such as Grand Marnier

or Amaretto.

- Replace Chocolate with Non-Dairy White Chocolate.

NOTES : - I like to use decaffeinated coffee so those who avoid caffeine

(especially at night) can still enjoy this ice cream.

- See the "Glossary of Cooking Terms" for information about toasting and

glazing nuts.

- Making your own custard for ice cream gives you complete control over

the content, not like store bought brands.

Serving Ideas : Serve with cakes or cookies.

NOTES : - Due to the high alcohol content of this ice cream, most ice

cream makers will only be able to get this ice cream to a "soft serve"

stage (the alcohol prevents full freezing in more ice cream makers).

Therefore, if you want the ice cream to be served as a harder ice cream

(where you can use an ice cream scoop to make balls of ice cream), make

the ice cream ahead of time, and then put the resulting "soft serve" in

the freezer for at least a few hours (overnight is better). The freezer

should bring the ice cream to a harder state (but it will still melt

fairly quickly).

glazing nuts.

07-Key Lime Ice Cream

Recipe By : Mark Foy - 01/01/2003

Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:45

Categories : 07-Frozen Desserts

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

CUSTARD

1 cup cashews -- raw

(or non-smoky pine nuts - see "Glossary

of Ingredients" for more information)

1/2 cup macadamia nuts -- raw

2 1/2 cups white grape juice

1/4 cup brown rice syrup

1/4 cup light agave nectar syrup -- (or maple syrup)

1/4 cup organic light granulated sugar

1 teaspoon lecithin

1 pinch sea salt

1/8 teaspoon spirulina seaweed -- (optional)

(this is to give the custard a nice green

color - does not add flavor)

3/4 cup key lime juice

1 teaspoon lime extract

(or pure lime oil)

1 tablespoon lime peel -- slivered

GARNISH

1 teaspoon lime zest

(from half a lime)

4 lime slices -- thinly sliced

CUSTARD

Blend all custard ingredients (except key lime juice, lime extract, and

lime peel) at a very high speed until nuts are completely pureed (not

gritty) and mixture is smooth.

Part way through the blending, turn off the machine and use a spatula

along the sides of the blender to dislodge any nuts or other ingredients

that might be clinging to the inside walls. This should reduce the

number of unblended bits in the final custard mixture.

Total time for blending should be about 7 minutes at high speed or

longer for blenders that blend at lower speeds.

Transfer mixture to a sauce pan, and heat over medium heat to thicken

custard. Mix frequently with a wire whisk. Heat at low simmer for

about 8 minutes. Mix in key lime juice, lime extract, and lime peel.

It is best to freeze ice cream custard when the custard is cold. If the

mixture is too warm, some ice cream makers will not be able to fully

freeze the mixture. Therefore, in general, it is recommended that the

mixture be refrigerated before it is placed in the ice cream maker.

When freezing the custard in an ice cream maker, follow the

manufacturer's direction for freezing. In general, freezing takes

approximately 30 minutes, but this will vary depending upon the machine,

ingredients, and temperature of the mixture.

If you do not have an ice cream maker, start with the refrigerated

mixture and pour into a large rectangular pan, freeze until solid (but

not hard) and blend again. Freeze in a regular bowl. Remove from

freezer about 30 minutes before serving.

GARNISH

Garnish individual servings with lime zest and thin lime slices. Makes

about 4 cups.

VARIATIONS:

- As the sweetener, any combination of unrefined sweeteners (maple

syrup, brown rice syrup, barley malt syrup, agave nectar, etc) can be

used, and in varying amounts depending on your tastes (see "Dessert

Notes" for more information about sweeteners).

- Add toasted chopped nuts while in the ice cream maker to make a chunky

style ice cream.

07-Lemon Ice Cream

Recipe By : Mark Foy - 06/28/2003

Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:45

Categories : 07-Frozen Desserts

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

3 cups white grape juice

6 medium star anise

CUSTARD

1 cup cashews -- raw

(or non-smoky pine nuts - see "Glossary

of Ingredients" for more information)

1/2 cup almond butter -- raw

(or other nut butter such as hazelnut)

(or 1/4 cup whole raw blanched almonds)

(or 1/4 cup raw cashews)

1/4 cup brown rice syrup

1/4 cup light agave nectar syrup -- (or maple syrup)

1/4 cup organic light granulated sugar

1 teaspoon lecithin

1 pinch sea salt

1/2 cup lemon juice

1 tablespoon lemon peel -- slivered

(need about 2 to 4 lemons for above

peel and juice)

1 teaspoon lemon extract

GARNISH

1 teaspoon lemon zest

(from half a lemon)

4 lemon wheels -- thinly sliced

In a small sauce pan, simmer the grape juice and star anise for 10

minutes. Cover the sauce pan if possible. Strain out the star anise,

and measure out about 2 1/2 cups of the grape juice. If you have less

than 2 1/2 cups after the simmering, use water to make a total of 2 1/2

cups. (If you don't want to spend time on this step, or do not want a

subtle star anise flavor in your ice cream, simply use 2 1/2 cups of

white grape juice below.)

CUSTARD

Blend all custard ingredients including the 2 1/2 cups of white grape

juice from above (but not the lemon juice, lemon extract, and lemon

peel) at a very high speed until nuts are completely pureed (not gritty)

and mixture is smooth.

Part way through the blending, turn off the machine and use a spatula

along the sides of the blender to dislodge any nuts or other ingredients

that might be clinging to the inside walls. This should reduce the

number of unblended bits in the final custard mixture.

Total time for blending should be about 7 minutes at high speed or

longer for blenders that blend at lower speeds.

Transfer mixture to a sauce pan, and heat over medium heat to thicken

custard. Mix frequently with a wire whisk. Heat at low simmer for

about 8 minutes. Mix in lemon juice, lemon extract, and lemon peel.

(This step can be skipped on this ice cream, but heating does improve

the texture by helping the liquids and the fats to better integrate.)

It is best to freeze ice cream custard when the custard is cold. If the

mixture is too warm, some ice cream makers will not be able to fully

freeze the mixture. Therefore, in general, it is recommended that the

mixture be refrigerated before it is placed in the ice cream maker.

07-Mango-Macadamia Nut Ice Cream

Recipe By : Mark Foy

Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:40

Categories : 07-Frozen Desserts

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

CUSTARD

1/2 cup macadamia nuts -- raw

1 cup mango juice

(or white grape juice)

1/2 cup white grape juice

1/4 cup brown rice syrup

3/8 teaspoon white stevia powder

(equivalent. to about 1 Tb. blended stevia

(see stevia in Glossary of Ingredients)

(or 1/4 cup light agave nectar syrup)

1 pinch sea salt

1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice

(from about one lemon)

1/2 teaspoon lecithin

2 1/2 cups fresh mango -- chopped very fine

(about one and a half to two mangos

- approx. 1 1/2 pounds

- any extra cut mango can be used below as

garnish)

GARNISH

1/2 pound fresh mango -- in chunks

(about half of one mango)

2 tablespoons coconut shreds

CUSTARD

Start with all custard ingredients as cold as possible.

Blend all custard ingredients except the mango at a very high speed

until nuts are completely pureed (not gritty) and mixture is smooth

(about 7 minutes for high speeds or longer for blenders that blend at

lower speeds).

Part way through the blending, turn off the machine and use a spatula

along the sides of the blender to dislodge any nuts or other ingredients

that might be clinging to the inside walls. This should reduce the

number of unblended bits in the final custard mixture.

Cut fresh mango in to very small chunks (as small as you can make them).

The "strings/threads" that run through mango do not puree well.

Therefore, by cutting the mango into very small chunks, many of the

"strings/threads" are cut. If these are not cut, the resulting texture

of the ice cream is a bit strange due to these "strings/threads".

Add the finely chopped mango and blend again until well integrated,

smooth, and frothy. Again, part way through the blending, stop the

machine and use a spatula to dislodge any fruit that is clinging to the

sides of the blender. Overall, this could take about another 3 minutes

of blending.

It is best to freeze ice cream custard when the custard is cold. If the

mixture is too warm, some ice cream makers will not be able to fully

07-Peach Ice Cream

Recipe By : Mark Foy - 08/29/2005

Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:40

Categories : 07-Frozen Desserts

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

CUSTARD

6 cups chopped peaches

(about 7 medium-to-large peaches)

3/4 cup cashews -- raw

(or non-smoky pine nuts - see "Glossary

of Ingredients" for more information)

1 1/2 cups peach juice

(or white grape juice)

1/4 cup organic light granulated sugar

1/4 cup light agave nectar syrup

2 tablespoons maple syrup

1 teaspoon lecithin

1 pinch sea salt

1 tablespoon lemon juice

(from about one half of a lemon)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

GARNISH

1/4 pound peaches -- sliced

(about 1 peach)

CUSTARD

Cook chopped peaches over medium-heat until most of the liquid is cooked

off (about 20 minutes). Stir frequently. This concentrates the peach

flavor to make a more intense peach ice cream. You should end up with

about 2 cups of cooked peaches. Set aside 1/2 cup of this cooked peach

mixture.

Blend the remaining (1 1/2 cup) cooked peaches and all of the remaining

custard ingredients except vanilla at a very high speed until nuts are

completely pureed (not gritty) and mixture is smooth (about 7 minutes at

high speed or longer for blenders that blend at lower speeds).

Part way through the blending, turn off the machine and use a spatula

along the sides of the blender to dislodge any nuts or other ingredients

that might be clinging to the inside walls. This should reduce the

number of unblended bits in the final custard mixture.

Total time for blending should be about 7 minutes at high speed or

longer for blenders that blend at lower speeds.

Transfer mixture to a sauce pan, and heat over medium heat to thicken

custard. Mix frequently with a wire whisk. Heat at low simmer for

about 6 minutes. Mix in vanilla extract and 1/2 cup reserved peach.

It is best to freeze ice cream custard when the custard is cold. If the

mixture is too warm, some ice cream makers will not be able to fully

freeze the mixture. Therefore, in general, it is recommended that the

mixture be refrigerated before it is placed in the ice cream maker.

When freezing the custard in an ice cream maker, follow the

manufacturer's direction for freezing. In general, freezing takes

approximately 30 minutes, but this will vary depending upon the machine,

ingredients, and temperature of the mixture.

If you do not have an ice cream maker, pour into a large rectangular

pan, freeze until solid (but not hard) and blend again. Freeze in a

regular bowl. Remove from freezer about 30 minutes before serving.

GARNISH

Garnish individual serving with peach slices. Makes about 4 cups.

VARIATIONS:

- As the sweetener, any combination of unrefined sweeteners (maple

syrup, brown rice syrup, barley malt syrup, agave nectar, etc.) can be

used, and in varying amounts depending on your tastes (see "Dessert

Notes" for more information about sweeteners).

- Can use pine nuts or walnuts in place of pecans. But do not use smoky

pine nuts in this recipe. For more information refer the pine nut

listing in the "Glossary of Ingredients" (at the beginning of this

book).

peaches.

- Called Summer Symphony because it uses summer peaches and has very

diverse and complex flavors due to the pecans, the peaches, and the

amaretto.

CUSTARD

1 cup peanut butter

1 cup white grape juice

1 1/2 cups water

1/3 cup maple syrup

1/3 cup brown rice syrup

3 tablespoons whole sugar (e.g., Rapadura)

(or Sucanat sugar or granulated sugar)

1 pinch sea salt

1 teaspoon lecithin

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

ADDITIONS

85 grams chocolate, bittersweet, dairy-free -- cut in

chunks/melted

(about 3/4 cup when cut)

(or 3/4 cup dairy-free chocolate chips)

1/4 cup whole sugar (e.g., Rapadura)

(or Sucanat sugar or granulated sugar)

2 tablespoons peanut butter

1 tablespoon unrefined coconut oil -- (optional)

GARNISH

2 tablespoons chopped peanuts -- toasted

CUSTARD

Blend all custard ingredients (except vanilla extract) at a high speed

until the mixture is completely smooth. Total time for blending should

only need to be about 4 minutes since the peanut butter is already quite

smooth.

Transfer mixture to a sauce pan, and heat over medium heat to thicken

custard. Mix frequently with a wire whisk. Heat at low simmer for

about 8 minutes. Mix in vanilla extract. (This step can be skipped on

this ice cream, but heating does improve the texture by helping the

liquids and the fats to better integrate.)

It is best to freeze ice cream custard when the custard is cold. If the

mixture is too warm, some ice cream makers will not be able to fully

freeze the mixture. Therefore, in general, it is recommended that the

mixture be refrigerated before it is placed in the ice cream maker.

When freezing the custard in an ice cream maker, follow the

manufacturer's direction for freezing. In general, freezing takes

approximately 30 minutes, but this will vary depending upon the machine,

ingredients, and temperature of the mixture.

ADDITIONS

While the ice cream is being frozen in the ice cream maker, melt the

chocolate. Once melted, stir in the sugar, peanut butter, and coconut

oil. Once the ice cream is done freezing in the ice cream maker, add

drips of the melted chocolate/sugar fudge mixture to the ice cream, and

mix in. The chocolate should firm up on hitting the ice cream.

If you do not have an ice cream maker, start with the refrigerated

mixture and pour into a large rectangular pan, freeze until solid (but

not hard) and blend again. Add melted chocolate mixture as described

above. Freeze in a regular bowl. Remove from freezer about 30 minutes

before serving.

GARNISH

Garnish individual servings with toasted chopped peanuts. Makes about 4

cups.

VARIATIONS:

- As the sweetener, any combination of unrefined sweeteners (maple

syrup, brown rice syrup, barley malt syrup, etc) can be used, and in

varying amounts depending on your tastes (see "Dessert Notes" for more

information about sweeteners).

- In place of vanilla extract, use rum extract/flavoring or coconut

extract/flavoring.

07-Pineapple Sherbet

Recipe By : Mark Foy

Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:45

Categories : 07-Frozen Desserts

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

CUSTARD

1 cup pecans -- raw

1/4 cup macadamia nuts -- raw

2 1/2 cups pineapple juice

(fresh juice is best if possible - need

about 1 small pineapple to make this

amount)

1/3 cup brown rice syrup

1/4 cup light agave nectar syrup -- (or maple syrup)

2 tablespoons organic light granulated sugar

1 pinch sea salt

1 teaspoon lecithin

1/2 cup pineapple juice

1 tablespoon lemon juice

(from half of a lemon)

GARNISH

2 tablespoons crystallized ginger -- sliced

1/4 cup fresh pineapple chunks

2 tablespoons coconut shreds

CUSTARD

Blend all custard ingredients (except second part of pineapple juice and

lemon juice) at a very high speed until nuts are completely pureed (not

gritty) and mixture is smooth.

Part way through the blending, turn off the machine and use a spatula

along the sides of the blender to dislodge any nuts or other ingredients

that might be clinging to the inside walls. This should reduce the

number of unblended bits in the final custard mixture.

Total time for blending should be about 8 minutes at high speed or

longer for blenders that blend at lower speeds.

Transfer mixture to a sauce pan, and heat over medium heat to thicken

custard. Mix frequently with a wire whisk. Heat at low simmer for

about 8 minutes. Mix in second part of pineapple juice and the lemon

juice.

NOTES : - A sherbet/ice cream low in saturated fat, and high in

monounsaturated fat due to the good fats in the nuts.

- Even if you don't have any fresh pineapple, it is still possible to

make this sherbet.

07-Pineapple-Brazil Nut Ice Cream

Recipe By : Mark Foy

Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:45

Categories : 07-Frozen Desserts

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

CUSTARD

1/2 cup walnuts -- raw

1/4 cup Brazil nuts -- raw

(about 9 to 12 whole nuts)

1 cup pineapple juice

(fresh juice is best if possible - need

about half of a small pineapple to make

this amount)

(or white grape juice)

1/2 cup brown rice syrup

1/4 cup light agave nectar syrup -- (or maple syrup)

1 pinch sea salt

1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice

(from about one lemon)

1/2 teaspoon lecithin

2 1/2 cups fresh pineapple -- chopped very fine

(about half of one whole pineapple)

GARNISH

2 tablespoons crystallized ginger -- sliced

1/4 cup fresh pineapple chunks

2 tablespoons coconut shreds

CUSTARD

Start with all custard ingredients as cold as possible.

Blend all custard ingredients except the finely chopped pineapple at a

very high speed until nuts are completely pureed (not gritty) and

mixture is smooth (about 7 minutes for high speeds or longer for

blenders that blend at lower speeds).

Part way through the blending, turn off the machine and use a spatula

along the sides of the blender to dislodge any nuts or other ingredients

that might be clinging to the inside walls. This should reduce the

number of unblended bits in the final custard mixture.

Cut fresh pineapple in to very small chunks (as small as you can make

them). The "strings/threads" that run through pineapple do not puree

well. Therefore, by cutting the pineapple into very small chunks, many

of the "strings/threads" are cut. If these are not cut, the resulting

texture of the ice cream is a bit strange due to these

"strings/threads".

Add the finely chopped pineapple and blend again until well integrated,

smooth, and frothy. This could take about another 3 minutes of

blending.

It is best to freeze ice cream custard when the custard is cold. If the

mixture is too warm, some ice cream makers will not be able to fully

freeze the mixture. Therefore, in general, it is recommended that the

mixture be refrigerated before it is placed in the ice cream maker.

manufacturer's direction for freezing. In general, freezing takes

NOTES : - Because the large amount of fruit in this ice cream recipe,

and because I use a smaller quantity of nuts, I do not cook this

custard; therefore, it is quicker to prepare.
