Ice cream, anyone?

Ice cream is totally possible for people eating the NSNGHealthy way!

Here are some options.

Simple basic recipe for ice cream

1 cup heavy whipping cream 1 tablespoon sweetener (Xylitol, Erythritol, stevia, Monkfruit sweetener) or to taste Whip (in a blender) then freeze before you enjoy! Customise the recipe with some of your favourite flavours: vanilla extract, your favourite frozen fruit blend (but watch the carbs) or fresh fruit and/or cocoa nibs garnish.

A new recipe for instant "ice cream"

3/4 cup cold whole milk* or heavy cream or half and half or whole milk yogurt 2 scoops collagen peptides 1/2 cup coconut oil 1.5 cup frozen berries 1-2 teaspoons turmeric powder 1-2 teaspoons powdered cinnamon 1-2 tablespoons beetroot powder
1 ripe banana (optional) 2 teaspoons sweetener (as above, optional)

(*If you are counting carbs, go with heavy cream or half and half instead of whole milk.) Directions: Add ingredients to a blender and pulse then blend continuously til it forms a thick scoopable creamy texture - be careful not to over-mix. Add extra cream if needed to manage the consistency. Scoop into a bowl, sprinkle with chocolate chips or chopped nuts (if desired) and enjoy.

It's also possible to use heavy cream powder in place of heavy cream, though I have not yet done a test of this.

GrainFree Crepes

 A simple but oh so delicious breakfast or snack or dessert option: crepes!

Ingredients: 2 oz cream cheese 2 eggs 1 tsp cinnamon/other flavouring

Mix crepe ingredients thoroughly (an electric mixer is recommended: try this mixer or a more traditional mixer). Apply a generous amount of coconut oil to a warm cast iron skillet. Put 1/4 - 1/2 cup of batter in the warm skillet to cook. Flip after a minute or two and cook some more. Add some fruits and compote (nsng), or uncured meat or your favourite cheese. Slather in butter. Roll and enjoy! Makes 3-4 servings.

Ingredients

2 eggs
1/4 pound butter
1/2 or 1 cup erythritol

1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
optional spices: grated nutmeg, clove powder

Instructions

Cream butter and erythritol (or xylitol) until smooth, then add eggs, one at a time, mixing with a wooden spoon (if possible) or hand-mixer. Add half of the almond flour, mix well, then add the vanilla, cinnamon and optional spices and the baking soda. Continue mixing then add rest of almond flour if needed to firm up the texture. Spoon onto cookie sheet and bake 10-12 min on low heat until the edges of your flat cookies are browned.
Remove from heat to cool. Enjoy!
