to get this ice cream to a "soft serve" stage (the alcohol prevents full freezing in more ice

cream makers) Therefore if you want the ice cream to be served as a harder ice cream

(

where you can use an ice cream scoop to make balls of ice cream) make the ice cream

ahead of time and then put the resulting "soft serve" in the freezer for at least a few hours

overnight is better) The freezer should bring the ice cream to a harder state (but it will

still melt fairly quickly)

CUSTARD

(or granulated sugar)

teaspoon lecithin

pinch sea salt

/ cups pecans raw

cup almonds blanched raw

if you don't have blanched almonds

(

use / cup almonds with their skins)

cups white grape juice

/ teaspoon vanilla extract

/ cup amaretto

cup water

/ cup maple syrup

/ cup brown rice syrup

/ cup Sucanat sugar

GARNISH

tablespoons coconut shreds

Blend all custard ingredients (except vanilla and amaretto) at a very high speed until nuts are completely pureed

(not gritty) and mixture is smooth

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

Total time for blending should be about minutes at high speed or longer for blenders that blend at lower speeds

Transfer mixture to a sauce pan and heat over medium heat to thicken custard Mix frequently with a wire whisk

Heat at low simmer for about minutes Mix in vanilla extract and amaretto

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 coconut (or amarettomaple syrup glazed pecans) Makes about cups

VARIATIONS:

As the sweetener any combination of unrefined sweeteners (maple syrup brown rice syrup barley malt syrup

agave syrup etc) can be used and in varying amounts depending on your tastes (see "Dessert Notes" for more

information about sweeteners)

Use Grand Marnier in place of Amaretto

Add toasted chopped nuts while in the ice cream maker to make a chunky style ice cream
