This chocolate ice cream recipe was created when I was having my family over for brunch. I wanted to create a dessert that would please everyone.
One of the principals of living the intuitive life is to also nurture our social circle. In my community, I encourage women not too deprive themselves at gatherings and social events.
Today I teach women what’s next after keto…I developed the Going Beyond The Food Method™️ a proprietary methodology that helps women make peace with food and their body. Chronic dieter and body shy women become intuitive eater & body confident women that live a full life unconditionally. If a life without dieting is something that sounds interesting I’d love to meet you.
Back to the ice cream…
Making ice cream at home is much easier than one would think.. it is so easy the once you get over your fear, you’ll have to stop yourself. Homemade ice cream will become your go-to dessert, especially in the summer.
6 tips to creamy homemade ice cream
- You need to get yourself a good but not expensive ice cream maker. The 1.5 Q Hamilton beach ice cream maker is what I have and I’m very happy with this machine.
- The ice cream maker bowl must be frozen at least 24 hrs prior to making ice cream. Store your ice cream maker book in the freezer so you are always ready!
- The “batter” needs to be very cold prior to placing it in the ice cream maker (at least 6 hrs in the fridge to maximize your creaminess).
- Use superfine granulated sugar.
- Use gelatine such as this one from my partner at Vital Protein to prevent the ice cream from becoming rock hard in the freezer and keep that lovely texture you love.
- MCT oil will bring the consistent creaminess you desire while packing in the nutrition into your dessert.
