IceCream

 

Sunday, dark, grey, depressing.....

Indian summer fading away,

London winter setting.....

My heart clings on,

to sunshine clear and bright,

to yellows and whites,

and rooms full of light.....

I dream of mango kulfi

with the perfume of cardamom,

So I turn my dream into reality,

and right away make some!! :-)

Method - 1

Take 3 cups of sliced mangoes,

and blend them in a high speed blender,

adding a cup of coconut milk,

half a spoon of crushed cardamom seeds,

a pinch of sea-salt,

and 2 or 3 tablespoons of honey.......

Freeze this mixture for an hour,

blend once more to remove all ice crystals,

then freeze for 3 hours more,

and viola, the ice cream is ready......

Sprinkle some dessicated coconut,

as well as some more cardamom seeds,

then scrape, roll and serve this ice-cream

in all its golden glory and sheen......

Method - 2

Peel and slice 2 bananas,
and freeze them overnight, or at least for 6 hours.
Peel and slice 2 mangoes and freeze them too.
In a high speed blender (I use Vitamix)
blend the frozen bananas and mango,
adding a spoon or two of honey or agave.
Add a pinch of sea salt, a teaspoon of vanilla extract,
and half a teaspoon of crushed cardamom seeds.
Blend it all to make a smooth instant ice cream,
that is raw, diary-free, sugar free, gluten-free,
delicious and totally healthy :-)
