| Paleo Butter Pecan Nice Cream |
Is there truly such a thing as healthy
ice cream?
Maybe not but this Butter Pecan Nice
Cream is a healthier knock-off indeed.
It redefines healthy gourmet
indulgences for sure. It’s not only gluten free,
it’s dairy free, egg free and free of added refined sugars too. But beyond all that it’s downright delicious.
Most nice creams are done using only
bananas as the base ingredient before adding the other flavors. I’ve combined bananas with unsweetened
coconut cream to add a more luxurious mouth-feel. Then dates are added to give a more
complex sweetness and a touch of sea salt helps to mimic the salty flavor of
butter. And this smooth creamy frozen
dessert has plenty of chopped pecans stirred-in at the end to complete the masterpiece.
This nice-cream is beyond good
reaching a level of mind blowing deliciousness.

These 3 studies from large medical journals are sure to turn the conventional nutrition world upside down!
This is the second recipe I've tried for butter pecan nice cream and I must say that this one is WAY better than the first one I tried. I didn't have dates so I used pure maple syrup and I think that my have messed with the taste a bit so I ended up adding a little pure vanilla and a tad more salt. Next time I will try it with dates but all in all this is a pretty good recipe. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIs there anything I can do with the coconut milk....juice?? Lol.
Thanks for the positive feedback.
DeleteI tend to use the coconut milk juice when I'm cooking rice in place of some of the water that's needed.
