5-7 This recipe was inspired by wanting to recreate mint chocolate chip ice cream without the need to use young Thai coconuts. After several tries and an ice cream maker (Cusinart Supreme™ Commercial Quality Ice Cream Maker) I came up with 3 flavorful and melt in your mouth ice cream flavors. If you do not have an ice cream maker you can freeze the mixture in ice cube trays and run it through a juicer. You can also blend it up with a little nut milk. You can find items like cacao butter and goji berries at http://www.rawguru.com/store
Ingredients:
1.Ice Cream Mixture
1 lb. cashews (soaked for 5 hrs)
1 tbs. cashew butter
1/4 lb. melted cacao butter
3/4 cup agave nectar or to taste
1/2 tsp. sea salt or to taste
1/2 tsp. vanilla powder
2 & 3. Mint Chocolate Chunk with Pistachios
1 part of the above ice cream mixture
1 cup chocolate chunks (recipe below)
1/2 handful of fresh mint
1 tsp. spirulina powder (adds a nice green color)
1/2 cup shelled pistachios
4. Strawberry Goji Berry Goodness
1 part of the above ice cream mixture
1/2 cup frozen strawberries
1/2 cup freeze dried strawberries (I used just tomatoes brand)
1/2 cup goji berry powder
5. Vanilla Maca Chocolate
1 part of the above ice cream mixture
2 tbs. cacao powder
2 tsp. maca powder
1/2 tsp. vanilla powder
Preparation:
1. Begin making nut milk by combining 1 lb. soaked cashews with 3 cups of water in a high speed blender. Strain half the nut milk through a nut milk bag and the other half set aside. Now combine the strained and non strained nut milk together and blend with rest of the ingredients until silky smooth. You will use this as a base for your other flavors. Divide this mixture into 3 parts.
2. To make the chocolate chunks melt 4 oz cacao butter in a glass bowl and mix with 4 tbs. cacao powder and 3 tsp of minced fresh mint and/or organic mint extract. Stir in 3 tbs. agave or yacon syrup and a pinch of sea salt. Stir it all until well combined and then spread a thin layer of it on some parchment paper. Chill in the freezer to harden. Break into chunks.
3. Now, blend the ice cream mixture with fresh mint and spirulina powder until well combined. Put into an ice cream maker for 45-60 mins. Then mix in the chocolate chunks and pistachios.
4. Blend the ice cream mixture with frozen strawberries and the goji powder until well combined. Put into an ice cream maker for 30-45 mins. Then mix in the freeze dried strawberries.
5. Blend the ice cream mixture with cacao, maca and vanilla powders until well combined. Put into an ice cream maker for 30-45 mins. Then mix in the freeze dried strawberries.
