You may recall a week or so back I reposted a recipe I saw online for some ice cream:
\nINGREDIENTS:
\n2 cups of walnuts
\n2 cups of water
\n1 cup of maple syrup or honey
\n2 dessert spoons of cacao powder
\n1 dessert spoon of vanilla extract (optional)
\n1\/2 teaspoon of Himalayan or celtic sea salt (optional)
\nWell a week back I had a crack at it.
\nI forgot to add the water when I transcribed the recipe.
\nAnd we have a freezer full of very ripe bananas.
\nSo two bananas went into the mix.
\nMade the first batch and Julie didn’t think it was anything special.
\nIf anything a bit strong in the chocolate department.
\nTried hazelnuts instead of walnuts in the next batch and halved the cacao.
\nImprovement but still no cigar.
\nI then used cashews, still with only one table spoon of cacao.
\nBetter still.
\nThen I swapped out the honey and replaced it with maple syrup.
\nPay dirt!
\nSo I mixed all the batches together and froze it
\nJulie and I have been enjoying just a spoonful of it after dinner each night for the last week.
\nTonight I gave some to Bronwyn and she loved it.
\nWanted the recipe even.
\nSo here’s the final recipe:
\n2 frozen bananas
\n2 cups of cashews
\n1 cup of maple syrup
\n1 rounded dessert spoon of cacao
\n1 dessert spoon of vanilla
\n1\/3 teaspoon of Himalayan rock salt
\nIt does not freeze hard, it stays fairly malleable.
\nTry adding the water to it like the original recipe suggests.
\nTake out of the freezer after two hours and reblending it to make it even smoother.
\nEnjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
