For many of us, summer means it’s ice-cream time! OK, maybe any time is ice-cream time for you (Cynthia, is that you? :-)… and me! But maybe like me, you no longer want to indulge in the dairy-laden, sugar-laden commercial kinds. Hello, Strawberry Nice Cream! This super-simple, super delicious 3-ingredient recipe will totally satisfy your craving for ice-cream! Promise.
Nut free • Dairy free • Sugar free • Guilt Free • Just pure delicious decadence, with a special shout out to you, Cynthia, who loves ice-cream!
- 3 cups organic frozen strawberries (OR raspberries, blueberries or blackberries)
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped (match the berries of your choice above!)
- 1 cup raw cauliflower, chopped (or more)
- Stevia to taste
Add all ingredients to food processor and process until smooth and creamy. (Maybe a little almond milk or water, if you need to lighten the density of the mix). Top with:
- Fresh, sliced strawberries, or
- Strawberry sauce — 1 cup of strawberries blended with stevia until smooth, or
- Chocolate sauce — 1/3 cup almond butter, 2 tablespoons coconut oil, 1/4 cup raw cacao and stevia to taste, blend until smooth by hand in bowl (add a little water to thin if needed).
Optional: Two caps of live-probiotics to make Strawberry Cheesecake Nice-Cream
Happy Summer! Enjoy!
Wait…WHAT?! Carol Egan are you telling me cauliflower can make nice cream?! I had no idea.
I’ve made the usual frozen banana nice cream but this cauliflower (and live probiotics?!) trick is blowing my mind. Can’t wait to try it!
Is the cauliflower frozen? Or fresh?
Yay! You found this recipe, Whitney! SO… no banana, because they’re so high in sugar, and that I am in the healing game, sugar is kind of a problem. SO, what can we do? Add cauliflower! If you review the ratio of strawberries to cauliflower, it’s light, but I still say pull it back even a bit more to experiment with the taste to your preferences. The cauliflower gives beautiful texture, without added sugar — fresh, always fresh, though I do acquiesce to some frozen strawberries! 🙂
That’s where the stevia comes in! I am a HUGE fan of stevia, because sugar feeds imbalance in the body, which causes a whole host of problems. Imbalance is the precursor to acute and chronic symptoms.
So here you have it, voila, a super clean, healthy dessert! I wanted this to be with no nuts too — they’re super dense which means a lot of energy needed to digest them,, BUT you absolutely can experiment with adding fresh, young Thai coconut meat too = that’s SUPER delicious (even just ground up, with chopped berries added!)
