Toast and glaze nuts as described in the front of this book

CUSTARD

teaspoons vanilla extract

/ cup macadamia nuts raw

cup pecans raw

grams chocolate bittersweet dairyfree cut in

chunks/melted

(

about / cup when cut)

cup white grape juice

/ cups water

or / cup dairyfree chocolate chips)

/ cup Sucanat sugar

or granulated sugar)

/ cup maple syrup

/ cup brown rice syrup

ADDITIONS

/ cup macadamia nuts toasted glazed

(

GARNISH

tablespoons macadamia nuts toasted glazed

teaspoon chocolate bittersweet dairyfree shaved

Blend all custard ingredients (except vanilla and melted chocolate) 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 melted chocolate

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

You will want to add the toasted/glazed macadamia nuts to the ice cream custard while it is freezing so these nuts

stay in chunks in the final ice cream When doing the freezing in an ice cream maker add the nuts about

minutes into the freezing process

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
