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

Do not use smoky pine nuts in this recipe For more information refer the pine nut listing

in the "Glossary of Ingredients" (at the beginning of this book)

CUSTARD

/ teaspoon beet powder (optional)

/ cup pine nuts raw

(this is to give the custard a nice red

color instead of a pink color

this does not add flavor)

cup white grape juice

/ cup brown rice syrup

tablespoons light agave nectar syrup (or maple

syrup)

ounces fresh strawberries

tablespoons organic light granulated sugar

pinch sea salt

GARNISH

/ tablespoon lemon juice

/ teaspoon lecithin

ounces fresh strawberries sliced

tablespoons coconut shreds

Start with all custard ingredients as cold as possible

Blend all custard ingredient except the strawberries 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

Add the strawberries and blend again until well integrated smooth and frothy 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

refrigerated before it is placed in the ice cream maker

When freezing the custard in an ice cream maker follow the manufacturer's direction for freezing In general

freezing takes approximately minutes but this will vary depending upon the machine ingredients and

temperature of the mixture

If you do not have an ice cream maker start with the refrigerated mixture and pour into a large rectangular pan

freeze until solid (but not hard) and blend again Freeze in a regular bowl Remove from freezer about

minutes before serving

Garnish individual servings with strawberries and coconut Makes about cups
