vanilla ice cream
When I started trying SCD recipes I was really excited for the ice cream recipes. After trying a couple I found that they either tasted way too much like banana, honey or they were very eggy when they started to soften. Although this recipe takes a little work (read: opening and getting the meat from young coconuts) for me it's worth it. This is from the book "Raw Food, Real world."
Ingredients:
2 cups raw cashews, soaked 4 hours
2 cups coconut meat
1 cup water
1 cup raw honey
1/4 cup coconut butter
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1/2 vanilla bean (or 2 tsp vanilla extract)
1/2 teaspoon salt
Method
Puree all ingredients in a high-speed blender or food processor until completely smooth. Chill thoroughly and then freeze in ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions.
I'm sure that other kinds of honey can be used but I definitely prefer the raw honey because the final product doesn't have that overwhelming honey flavour. When I'm craving ice cream this is an amazing treat to have and even non-SCDer love it.
