Just a couple recipes for you today, but there good ones!
Last night I made a new “ice cream,” and oh my, this is a huge improvement. Heating the Almond Milk and blending in Xanthan Gum completely changes the texture to make it much more creamy and thick. This is a must try!
Chocolate Almond Milk Ice Cream
2 c Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Breeze (UVAB)
1 c Sucant (0-cal Sugar Substitute)
1/4 c Raw Cacao Powder
1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
1/4 tsp Xanthan Gum
Add-In: Chopped Pecans/Walnuts/Almonds
Combine 1 c UVAB, Sugar & Cacao in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk to get the sugar & cacao to dissolve. Bring mixture to a slow boil. Remove from heat and let sit for a minute. Mix in the rest of the UVAB and Vanilla Extract. Pour into a blender, add Xanthan Gum and blend for a minute. Pour into Ice Cream Maker and let it do it’s thing for 30 minutes or so. Add chopped nuts at the very end. Enjoy half and freeze the rest (makes 2 servings).. or enjoy half and go back 20 minutes later to finish it off :p
