Healthy Ice Cream

(with chopped fruit and rice milk)

Here in Africa we have no use for hot steaming Christmas puddings and if you want to try something other than trifle, try this recipe. Not only is it a good alternative, but a whole lot healthier. I combined my own ideas with a recipe I found in Mary-Ann Shearer’s The Natural Way Recipe Book 1. Thanks to her I have been converted to ice cream as a major healthy treat alternative.

In the food processor put:

3 or 4 bananas
1 cup fruit mix (no bleached sultanas if you can)
½ cup dried cranberries/ peaches /other fruit of choice (no sulpher dioxide please)
½ cup macadamia nuts or almonds
1 tsp freshly grated orange rind
½ tsp mixed spice
½ - 1 cup of honey
2 cups of soya milk

Wizz until you are happy with the size of the bits. I like them coarsely chopped, you may like them finer.

Freeze for 2 or 3 hours (depending on how fast your freezer works) blend (do not chop unless you want the bits smaller) freeze again. Repeat until you have blended at least thrice. Freeze for the last time. This pudding is outrageously yummy. If you are not dairy sensitive or watching your weight you can substitute some or all of the soya milk with cream, but add it after you have chopped the other ingredients.

I dipped the round bowl containing the ice cream into hot water turned it over on a plate and poured cream over the top and sprinkled with dried fruit and nuts to finish it off. Beware it is soft and creamy and melts quickly, but so delicious it will be gone before you need to return it to the freezer.
