Dairy Free Vanilla Ice Cream

2 Sept

Home made Dairy Free Ice Cream always beats the shop purchased dairy free ice cream for flavour. I use a machine to make mine but it was a cheap device from the high street and I have now had it for over 15 years and it is still working. I love making Dairy Free Vanilla Ice Cream but it is also great to experiment with tastes. This is a lovely easy recipe to start you off.

Ingredients:

4 egg yolks

70 g caster sugar

400 ml coconut cream (tin)

1 tbsp. vanilla extract

Method:

Put the egg yolks and sugar into a bowl and beat with a mixer until the egg yolks are almost white.

Gently heat the milk in a saucepan.

Combine the egg and sugar into the hot milk and stir until combined.

Continue to heat the mixture for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Ensure it does not boil.

Allow the mixture to cool in a refrigerator.

Once chilled place in ice cream machine as per instructions.

Transfer into freezer.

Additional Notes:

I freeze my ice cream in small portions so one portion can be taken out at a time as required.

This will last up to 2 weeks in a freezer.

Remember to not waste the egg whites. Freeze them and save them for other recipes.

Equipment Used:

KitchenAid Stand Mixer

Saucepan

Ice Cream Maker

Freezer containers.

Emma Alexander-Cook

My name's Emma. I've been living gluten-free for over 25 years, and I've been dairy-free for over five years.

Health and Auto-immune Diseases

I have auto-immune diseases and expected to be on medicine for the rest of my life, but I didn't want to live like that. My rheumatology Doctor was so supportive of the change I wanted to make, and with their help, I now manage my auto-immune diseases by being strict with my diet.

It can be quite frightening when you first find out you have to change the way you eat but for some of us' Food is our medicine.'

I have several websites, write blogs, and I'm currently in the process of writing a book.

I trained to be Holistic Health Coach, Meditation and Mindfulness Teacher and Certified Gluten Free Practitioner in order to heal myself, my family and others who find themselves on the same journey as myself.

Photography

Our love for photography started on our travels. We wanted to capture images of the areas we travelled to both for our own records and for our family back at home. Some of these images were reproduced as watercolours. Our favourite images we display at home and friends often asked where we had purchased the pictures! Now you can purchase them online directly from us.

Coaching and Consultancy

Previously an IT Manager my skill set has come in very handy as I am both a Health Coach and also offer consultancy for small business starts up and fellow Health Coaches. This has included building websites and online profiles.

Our Family

Family is everything to me! We have a family of four boys where the age difference between the youngest and the eldest is 18 years. Two of our sons are also Gluten Free and Dairy Free. Emma is a Health Coach who specialises in helping individuals and families achieve their health and wellness goals. Ian runs his own business which began developing a Race Timer for diecast model cars.
