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.

1/4 cup macadamia nuts -- raw
1 cup pecans -- raw
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

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).

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

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.

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).

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

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

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

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.

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

Serving Ideas : Garnish also with toasted, glazed pecans.
NOTES : - A relatively low-fat ice-cream, but still creamy due to the
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.

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.

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

and because I use a smaller quantity of nuts, I do not cook this
custard; therefore, it is quicker to prepare.

07-Summer Symphony Ice Cream
Recipe By : Mark Foy - 07/08/2003
Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:40
Categories : 07-Frozen Desserts
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
CUSTARD
1/2 cup pecans -- raw
1 cup white grape juice
1/4 cup peach preserves
(or peach jam)
(or apricot preserves in a pinch)
1/2 cup brown rice syrup
2 tablespoons light agave nectar syrup -- (or maple syrup)
1/2 teaspoon lecithin
1 pinch sea salt
2 tablespoons lemon juice
(from about one lemon)
1 pound peaches -- pitted
(about 3 medium-to-large peaches)
1/4 cup amaretto -- (optional)
(or peach flavored brandy)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
GARNISH
1/4 pound peaches -- sliced
(about 1 peach)
CUSTARD
Start with all custard ingredients as cold as possible.
Blend all custard ingredients except peaches, amaretto, and 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.
Add the peaches, amaretto, and vanilla and blend again until well
integrated, smooth, and frothy. Total time for blending should be about
9 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.
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).

Serving Ideas : Garnish also with toasted, glazed pecans.
NOTES : - A relatively low-fat ice-cream, but still creamy due to the
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.

1 pinch sea salt
1 teaspoon lecithin
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup Kahlua
1/4 cup rum
GARNISH
1 teaspoon cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
CUSTARD
Blend all custard ingredients (except vanilla, Kahlua, and rum) 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

about 8 minutes. Mix in vanilla extract, Kahlua, and rum.

43g Carbohydrate; 0mg Cholesterol; 27mg Sodium
Serving Ideas : Serve with ladyfingers (or some type of vanilla cake).
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).

08-Key Lime Cream and Fruit Parfait
Recipe By : Mark Foy
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:30
Categories : 08-Custards
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
CUSTARD
1 1/2 cups key lime juice
2 1/2 cups water
1/4 cup brown rice syrup
1/2 cup organic light granulated sugar
1 pinch sea salt
4 tablespoons arrowroot powder
6 tablespoons cornstarch
3/4 cup water
12 1/3 ounces tofu, low-fat silken -- (extra-firm)
(do not use soft or medium tofu because it
will not make a firm enough custard)
(see the "Glossary of Ingredients" for
more information about silken tofu)
1/4 teaspoon spirulina seaweed -- (optional)
(this is to give the custard a nice green
color - does not add flavor)
FRUIT
2 cups fresh strawberries -- sliced
1 teaspoon lime zest
6 lime slices
Combine juice, water, brown rice syrup, granulated sugar, and pinch salt
in sauce pan and bring to slow simmer. In a small bowl, mix together
the arrowroot powder, cornstarch and water. Add this mixture to the
sauce pan slowly (stirring as adding), and heat until thick (about 5
minutes).
Take out a cup or two of the lime mixture, and blend it with the tofu
and the spirulina. Add it back to rest of the lime mixture.
Using parfait glasses, spoon a little custard into the bottom of each
glass, and then put a layer of fruit and zest on top of the first
custard layer. Repeat for 2 more times to create 3 custard/fruit
layers. Top each glass with a lime slice
Refrigerate and serve.
VARIATIONS:
- For a richer version of this dessert (which has more fat), use coconut
and/or nut milk (e.g., almond or cashew milk/cream) in place of water.
- 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

08-Orange Custard in Filo Cup
Recipe By : Mark Foy
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:30
Categories : 08-Custards
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
CUSTARD
12 ounces orange juice, frozen concentrate
2 1/2 cups water
2 tablespoons brown rice syrup
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 pinch sea salt
6 tablespoons tapioca
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 tablespoons Grand Marnier -- (or other liqueur)
40 grams whole wheat filo -- thawed
(the weight of different filos varies)
(overall, you need 2 18"x13" sheets)
GARNISH
1/4 cup fresh strawberries -- halved
1 tablespoon orange zest
1/3 cup orange slices
(both from half an orange)
1/4 cup strawberry topping -- (optional)
Combine juice, water, brown rice syrup, maple syrup, and pinch salt in
sauce pan and bring to slow simmer. Add tapioca, and heat until thick
and tapioca is clear (about 10 to 15 minutes). Add nutmeg and liqueur
and remove from heat.
Using a muffin tin, cut out small squares of filo so they fit into the
muffin wells (and up the sides of the wells) making a cup when pressed
in (about 3" by 3" squares). Layer 4 squares of filo on top of one
another with a little high oleic sunflower oil (or unrefined coconut
oil) brushed on each sheet, and press into a muffin well. Repeat for
all muffin wells in the muffin tin. Briefly bake just long enough to
make a crisp cup (about 5 minutes at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C)) (see
Filo in the "Glossary of Ingredients" for more information).
Spoon custard into filo cups, place on plates, and decorate plates with
fresh strawberries, orange zest and slices, and lines of strawberry
topping (basically thinned strawberry preserves). Lines of strawberry
topping are easily made with a ketchup bottle if available.
VARIATIONS:
- To make something similar without any gluten (that is, without filo),
simply make the custard, and serve in cups or glasses.
- For a richer version of this dessert (which has more fat), use coconut
and/or nut milk (e.g., almond or cashew milk/cream) in place of water.
- Use Amaretto in place of the Grand Marnier.
- 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).

Per serving: 365 Calories; 1g Fat (2% calories from fat); 3g Protein;

Serving Ideas : Serve with fresh fruit.
NOTES : - GLUTEN NOTE: This is one of the few recipes in this cookbook
that contains gluten (from the whole wheat filo). I have included this
recipe because because it is an interesting dessert, but simply can not
be made without gluten because filo needs to be made with a flour
containing gluten to achieve the desired effect. The recipe in the form
shown below is not suitable for people who want to or need to avoid
gluten. The custard is free of gluten, and can be served in a variety
of other ways.
- A simple dessert when you don't have a lot of time.

08-Rice Pudding
Recipe By : Mark Foy
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :1:00
Categories : 08-Custards
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
CUSTARD
2 3/4 cups water
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 1/4 cups sweet brown rice -- washed
1/2 cup almonds
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1 cup water
1/4 cup brown rice syrup
1/3 cup maple syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup dried apricots -- diced
GARNISH
1 1/2 tablespoons ginger root, candied -- chopped
2 tablespoons dried apricots -- diced
2 tablespoons almonds -- toasted, glazed
In pressure cooker, combine first measure of water (2 3/4 cups), salt,
and rice. Seal cover on pressure cooker and bring up to pressure.
Begin timing at this point and adjust heat to maintain pressure (use a
simmer plate/"flame tamer" to prevent burning). Cook for 50 minutes.
While rice is cooking, blend remaining custard ingredients (except for
the apricots) in a blender until smooth (about 7 minutes).
Remove pressure cooker from heat after time if up; release pressure
before opening.
Stir the almond/sesame milk mixture and the dried apricots into the
cooked rice.
Put on a low heat for a few minutes to thicken and integrate the milk
mixture into the rice. Stir frequently to avoid burning the rice to the
pan.
Garnish individual servings of pudding if desired with candied ginger,
apricots, and toasted, glazed almonds.
VARIATIONS:
- For a richer dessert, use more almonds or sesame seeds while making
the almond/sesame milk. If you add significantly more almonds or sesame
seeds, use a little more water so the mixture which cooks the rice does
not get to thick, otherwise, you have a greater chance of burning the
rice.
- 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).
- "Pistachio-Sage Rice Pudding" - Use sage in place of nutmeg and use
toasted pistachios in place of the apricots.
- "Blueberry-Lavender Rice Pudding" - Use lavender extract in place of
nutmeg (to taste) and use dried blueberries in place of the dried
apricots.

Serving Size : 15 Preparation Time :1:20
Categories : 09-Miscellaneous
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
FILLING
2 pounds apples
(about 5 medium apples)
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon peel -- chopped
1 pinch sea salt
1/4 cup Frangelico liqueur
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 cup raisins
1/2 cup walnuts -- toasted
1/2 cup whole sugar (e.g., Rapadura)
(or Sucanat sugar or granulated sugar)
5 tablespoons brown rice flour
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
FILO
240 grams whole wheat filo -- thawed
(the weight of different filos varies)
(overall, you need 12 18"x13" sheets)
1/4 cup unrefined coconut oil -- for brushing
(or high oleic sunflower oil)
(or other oil high in monounsaturated fat)
(overall quantity used will depend on
amount brushed on each sheet)
FILLING
Thinly slice apples and gently toss with lemon juice, lemon peel and
salt in a large bowl. Add Frangelico liqueur, maple syrup, raisins, and
walnuts and gently toss again. Sprinkle in half of the whole sugar,
half of the flour, and half of the cinnamon and toss again. Add the
other half of the sugar, flour, and cinnamon and toss one final time.
ASSEMBLY
To assemble the strudel, oil a large (about 9"x13") baking pan. Lay 1/4
of the filo sheets (about 3 18"x13" pieces) into the bottom of the pan.
Each sheet will be folded in half to fit in the pan; brush oil on the
top of each layer in the pan, both before folding and after. Spread
about 1/3 of the apple mixture on top of this first layer of filo.
Continue this filo-filling layering until all filling if used, and then
top with the last layer of filo (always brushing it with oil). There
should be 4 layers of filo (with 3 sheets per layer), and 3 layers of
filling.
Cover pan with foil, and bake in a 375 degree F (190 degree C) oven (no
need to preheat the oven) for 40 minutes, then remove foil and bake 10
minutes more to give the top filo layer a golden brown appearance.
Slices of strudel freeze well.

NOTES : - GLUTEN NOTE: This is one of the few recipes in this cookbook
that contains oats (which may contain gluten - see "Glossary of
Ingredients"). I have included this recipe because I wanted to provide
an traditional crisp recipe with the rolled oats. If you wanted to
avoid any possibility of gluten (and therefore the oats), you could use
other rolled grains (such as rolled rice or even just brown rice flour -
or try puffed rice or puffed millet for something different) in place of
the rolled oats.
- An easy way to make tapioca flour is by grinding old fashion pearl
tapioca in a coffee grinder (see the "Glossary of Ingredients" for more
information on making or buying tapioca flour).

09-Baklava
Recipe By : Mark Foy
Serving Size : 36 Preparation Time :0:45
Categories : 09-Miscellaneous
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
FILLING
4 cups chopped walnuts
2/3 cup whole sugar (e.g., Rapadura)
(or Sucanat sugar or granulated sugar)
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
FILO
240 grams whole wheat filo -- thawed
(the weight of different filos varies)
(overall, you need 12 18"x13" sheets)
1/4 cup unrefined coconut oil -- for brushing
(or high oleic sunflower oil)
(or other oil high in monounsaturated fat)
(overall quantity used will depend on
amount brushed on each sheet)
FINISHING ("GLAZE")
8 ounces orange juice, frozen concentrate
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup brown rice syrup
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup whole sugar (e.g., Rapadura) -- or granulated
sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
FILLING
Assemble all filling ingredients in a bowl.
To assemble the baklava, oil a large (about 9"x13") baking pan. Lay 1/4
of the filo sheets (about 3 18"x13" pieces) into the bottom of the pan.
Each sheet will be folded in half to fit in the pan; brush oil on the
top of each layer in the pan, both before folding and after. Spread
about 1/3 of the walnut mixture on top of this first layer of filo.
Continue this filo-filling layering until all filling if used, and then
top with the last layer of filo (always brushing it with oil). There
should be 4 layers of filo (with 3 sheets per layer), and 3 layers of
filling.
With a sharp knife, cut the baklava so there are 18 pieces (it works out
well to have 3 long rows, and 6 short rows). Then cut these individual
pieces/squares on the diagonal to create two triangles from each piece.
This will give you a pan with 36 pieces making for easier serving later.
Cover pan with foil, and bake in a 350 degree F (175 degree C) oven (no
need to preheat the oven) for 20 minutes, then remove foil and bake 10
minutes more to give the top filo layer a golden brown appearance.
FINISHING ("GLAZE")
While baklava is baking, combine finishing ingredients in a sauce pan
and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, and cook (stirring
frequently) for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
Once baklava is finished baking, remove from oven and pour the finishing
"glaze" mixture over all the baklava pieces in the pan. Let cool
completely in pan.

NOTES : - GLUTEN NOTE: This is one of the few recipes in this cookbook
that contains gluten (from the whole wheat filo). I have included this
recipe because because it is an interesting pie/pastry, but simply can
not be made without gluten because filo needs to be made with a flour
containing gluten to achieve the desired effect. The recipe in the form
shown below is not suitable for people who want to or need to avoid
gluten. The filling is free of gluten, and can be used in other ways
(e.g., filled inside gluten-free muffins or cup cakes).
- Standard baklava uses butter between the sheets of filo; coconut oil
is a very good substitute as it makes the resulting filo crisp like the
original.

09-Cocoa-Glazed Toasted Macadamia Nuts
Recipe By : Mark Foy
Serving Size : 20 Preparation Time :0:15
Categories : 09-Miscellaneous
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 cups macadamia nuts
1/4 cup creme de cacao
3 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
7 tablespoons Sucanat sugar
(or granulated sugar)
In a dry pan, toast the macadamia nuts over medium-high to high heat on
the stove top. Stir frequently so the hazelnuts don't burn. Toast
until the nuts are nicely brown and fragrant, about 6 minutes total.
To the nuts in the pan, add the creme de cacao and stir. Cook 1 minute.
Add maple syrup and , stir, and cook another minute (these liquids
should be evaporating quite quickly). Add the cocoa powder and sucanat
sugar, stir, and cook another 2 minutes until the nuts are pretty dry.
Remove from heat and let cool. If the nuts are very sticky, and the
glaze will not "dry", you can place the nuts in the refrigerator (on a
parchment paper covered baking sheet) to "dry/"freeze" the glaze onto
the nuts.
These can be eaten as is, cut in half to use as garnish on a cake,
dropped into ice cream while freezing, garnished on any dessert, or
ground and put into cake or cookie batters.
VARIATIONS:
- Use other types of nuts such as pecans, walnuts, or almonds with other
types of liqueurs such as Amaretto, grand Marnier, or Sambuca.
- If you want the nuts to stick together, you could use brown rice syrup
instead of maple syrup and this will make a very sticky "nut brittle".

09-Raspberry-Almond Pastry
Recipe By : Mark Foy
Serving Size : 10 Preparation Time :3:00
Categories : 09-Miscellaneous
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
DOUGH
1 1/2 teaspoons active baker's yeast
1/3 cup warm water
2 1/2 cups spelt flour
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
3 tablespoons vegetable shortening, non-hydrogenated -- (or
coconut oil)
(or high oleic sunflower oil)
1/3 cup soy milk
1/4 cup brown rice syrup
1/4 cup maple syrup
FILLING
3/4 cup almonds -- chopped
1/2 cup poppy seeds -- ground
1/4 cup soy milk
1/2 cup brown rice syrup
1 tablespoon lemon zest -- chopped
2 tablespoons lemon juice
(zest and juice of one lemon)
5 ounces frozen raspberries
GLAZE
2 tablespoons brown rice syrup
2 tablespoons warm water
TOPPING
2 tablespoons almond slivers
DOUGH
Combine yeast and water and let sit for 10 minutes until active.
Combine flour and salt in a large mixing bowl. Cut shortening (or oil)
into flour mixture (using a fork and a knife). Combine soy milk, brown
rice syrup, and maple syrup. Add this liquid mixture, along with the
yeast mixture to the flour. Knead for 15 minutes, adding liquid (water
or soy milk) as needed (if the dough gets too dry/stiff). Let dough
rise until doubled (about 2 hours).
FILLING
While dough is rising, prepare filling by combining all filing
ingredients, except frozen raspberries, in a sauce pan, and cooking on
low for about 10 minutes. Turn off heat, and add frozen raspberries.
Mix to thaw raspberries in hot filling. Let cool.
BAKING
Oil a baking sheet if it is not non-stick.
Punch dough down. Roll dough out into a rectangle about the size of a
cookie sheet (about 11 inch by13 inch). Place dough on the cookie
sheet to cover most of the surface.
Spread filling down the middle of the dough (the long way). Filling
should cover about 3 inches by 13 inches of the dough. Cut outer part
of dough on 45 degree angles, about an inch apart, on both side of the
filling. Fold these pieces of dough over on top of the filling,
alternating from one side to the other.
Place in a warm, moist environment to rise for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) about 15 minutes before
placing the pastry in the oven.
For the glaze, combine brown rice syrup and water, and brush on pastry.
Sprinkle almond slivers on top, and bake for 20 minutes.
VARIATIONS:
- For a richer version of this pastry (which has more fat), use coconut
milk or nut milk in place of the soy milk.

NOTES : - GLUTEN NOTE: This is one of the few recipes in this cookbook
that contains gluten (from the spelt flour). I have included this
recipe because it is an interesting pastry, but simply can not be made
without gluten because the pastry needs to be a yeasted bread to achieve
the desired effect. Yeasted breads are difficult to make without a
glutinous flour. This recipe is not suitable for people who want to or
need to avoid gluten.
- A fast and easy way to grind poppy seeds is in a coffee grinder.
- A dessert that contains a significant amount of calcium and contains
no dairy products (also lots of iron).
- This pastry is also nice to serve at a brunch.

10-Macadamia Nut Cream
Recipe By : Mark Foy
Serving Size : 18 Preparation Time :0:10
Categories : 10-Sauces
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 cup macadamia nuts -- raw
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup brown rice syrup
3 tablespoons maple syrup
1 pinch sea salt
In blender, combine all ingredients, blending for 5 to 10 minutes until
completely smooth.
If desired, you can gently heat it in a sauce pan, simmering it for
about 2 minutes.
Refrigerate until it is ready to be served.
If it is heated, it will keep refrigerated for about a week. If you do
not heat it, it keeps a couple days less (and can get a slightly yogurt
type flavor after about 4 days).
Makes about 1 1/4 cups of cream.
One serving is approximately 1 tablespoon.
VARIATIONS:
- You could use other types of nuts in place of the macadamia nuts. The
nuts that puree to the smoothest cream are macadamia nuts, pine nuts (an
excellent choice with a very good flavor as long as they are not smoky
pine nuts; refer to the pine nut listing in the "Glossary of
Ingredients" (at the beginning of this book) for more information),
pecans, walnuts, and cashews. Almonds, brazil nuts, and hazelnuts still
have some grit even when pureed for a long time; therefore, these may
not be the best nuts to use, but if you don't mind a little grit, give
them a try. You can also try to put the cream of these grittier nuts
through a cheese cloth, but with such a thick cream, I have not had the
best of luck doing this; the straining either does not take out
anything, or it take out too much of the body of the cream leaving the
resulting cream too thin and without the creamy texture desired.
- 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).
