Now I know this isn’t the most Ayurvedic recipe - but if you ever want to have ice-cream, have it in Summer, have it during the day, and chew on some fresh ginger + lime juice later in the day (to help break up the excess mucus which may be formed from the ice-cream). Here is a super simple, no-fuss ice-cream recipe.
Ingredients:
500ml double cream
1 tin (397g) caramel
Handful of pecan nuts
Milk chocolate (I used cooking chocolate)
Method:
1. Melt the chocolate using the double boiler method (place a heatproof bowl above a saucepan that is half-filled with water - and put the saucepan on the stove so the water is simmering. Once the water is simmering, add in the chocolate to the heatproof bowl and keep stirring until the chocolate is melted.)
2. Once the chocolate is melted, carefully line your ice-cream moulds with the chocolate using a spatula. Once coated, place the ice-cream moulds in the freezer to allow the chocolate to set.
3. Roast the pecan nuts in the oven at 150 C for about 5 minutes until they’re well toasted (slightly brown).
4. Roughly chop the pecan nuts and set aside.
5. In a mixing bowl, whip 500ml of double cream until stiff peaks have formed.
6. Add in the carame and the chopped pecan nuts and gently mix again until everything has been well incorporated.
7. Divide the ice-cream mixture into the ice-cream moulds that have been coated with chocolate - the chocolate should have set by the time you make the ice-cream mixture.
8. Freeze for up to 8 hours or overnight.
9. Melt some more chocolate using the double boiler method and carefully cover the ice-cream in the moulds. Place back in the freezer so the chocolate can set.
10. Defrost at room temperature for 5 mins, offer with love and honour with gratitude.
Variations: Instead of caramel, you can use condensed milk and add in either of the following flavouring options: pureed fresh strawberries, pureed and chopped fresh mango, chopped cherries + dark chocolate, saffron strands, pistachio paste + chopped pistachios.
