i thought i'd set my self a challenge today. to blog every day for a month and see what comes from me..............just for fun!
After a day yesterday of feeling very emotional and facing some deep seated fear, shedding some tears and making raw chocolate ice-cream, i am feeling rather fine today!
Summer is here and an afternoon at the beach has really helped to reset my being...................i have to say the raw vegan chocolate ice-cream with home grown strawberries was just the medicine for me today.
This recipe is so simple. i made it up as i went along so i can only really guess at amounts
about 3 hand fulls Cashew nuts soaked for about 4 hours
4 or 5 teaspoons of raw cacao powder
a couple of large teaspoons of coconut oil
8 or so soft dates
water - as much as you need to have a nice consistency
and a pinch of pink Himalayan salt
i almost forgot A little vanilla powder or fresh vanilla pod
whizz it all up till its really smooth. i'd say keep tasting and adding a bit more of this and a bit more of that until you like the way it tastes!
now i don't have an ice cream machine, so i popped it in the freezer and stirred it every hour until i went to bed! it could have done with a little more stirring, but it tastes so good and its lovely and hot here that a few icy bits is really nice!
and the home grown strawberries where the icing on the cake, no sorry! that's the strawberry on the ice-cream!
enjoy my friends...................what ever you choose to nourish yourself with today!
