Do you remember last week’s banana sorbet?
You can use any fruit you fancy to make these ridiculously simple ice-creams/sorbets.
Add nuts or dates into the body of the ice-cream if you that tickles your fancy. 😉
Frozen banana is creamy and sweet. The texture of frozen mango is similar to a sorbet.
I prefer to keep the ice-cream/sorbet plain and creamy and have some fun with toppings. Use your imagination to create any number of delicious combinations!
Here are a few ideas:
Ice Cream Toppings
Clockwise from Midday:
- Take some rice syrup and mix in cinnamon to taste. Drizzle that over your dessert to add a sticky/sweet addition to the creamy texture, without adding a refined sugar or E colourings and goo!
- Raw Chocolate Nibs (I’m going to be honest and say they’re a little hard on the teeth and bitter for me, but I know people who can eat them straight out of the bag, so I’ve included them here for you, in case you’re a toughie! 😉 ….)
- Raw, Unsweetened Goji Berries
- Raw Almond Flakes (naturally sweet) *lay them under a grill or dry pan roast them in a pan on your hob for a lovely toasty flavour
- Dried Coconut Flakes (I love the crunch of the flakes; you could also use coconut snow or, as it’s also known, dessicated coconut – again, grilled or pan roasted adds another layer of taste)
- Mixed Nuts and Seeds (A wonderful topping, for a hearty, toffee’ish, toasty crunch!)
With regards to gut health, this simple dessert beats eating dairy ice-cream (that’s been made from factory farmed milk) any day of the week!
See you soon …
I love to experiment with food, write poetry, read, walk in nature, take iphone photographs, sing, cycle, watch good movies, documentaries, dramas and comedy.
