Because the large amount of fruit in this ice cream recipe and because I use a smaller

quantity of nuts I do not cook this custard; therefore it is quicker to prepare

CUSTARD

/ teaspoon lecithin

/ cup macadamia nuts raw

cup mango juice

(

/ cups fresh mango chopped very fine

(about one and a half to two mangos

approx / pounds

any extra cut mango can be used below as

garnish)

or white grape juice)

/ cup white grape juice

/ cup brown rice syrup

/ teaspoon white stevia powder

(

equivalent to about Tb blended stevia

see stevia in Glossary of Ingredients)

or / cup light agave nectar syrup)

pinch sea salt

/ tablespoons lemon juice

from about one lemon)

GARNISH

/ pound fresh mango in chunks

(about half of one mango)

tablespoons coconut shreds

Start with all custard ingredients as cold as possible

Blend all custard ingredients except the mango at a very high speed until nuts are completely pureed (not gritty)

and mixture is smooth (about minutes for high speeds or longer for blenders that blend at lower speeds)

Part way through the blending turn off the machine and use a spatula along the sides of the blender to dislodge

any nuts or other ingredients that might be clinging to the inside walls This should reduce the number of

unblended bits in the final custard mixture

Cut fresh mango in to very small chunks (as small as you can make them) The "strings/threads" that run through

mango do not puree well Therefore by cutting the mango into very small chunks many of the "strings/threads"

are cut If these are not cut the resulting texture of the ice cream is a bit strange due to these "strings/threads"

Add the finely chopped mango and blend again until well integrated smooth and frothy Again part way

through the blending stop the machine and use a spatula to dislodge any fruit that is clinging to the sides of the

blender Overall this could take about another minutes of blending

It is best to freeze ice cream custard when the custard is cold If the mixture is too warm some ice cream makers

will not be able to fully freeze the mixture Therefore in general it is recommended that the mixture be
