We were so excited and somewhat surprised to see that they came up with a great tasting ice-cream recipe using ElevenLabs - The Ultimate Superfood Supplement (now our Plant Protein and Super Greens!
This is the recipe below. It's raw, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, paleo and refined sugar free.
Ingredients
- Flesh of 1 baby coconut (approximate ¾ cup)
- 4 Tbsp ElevenLabs Plant Protein and Super Greens
- ¼ cup hulled tahini
- ½ cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tsp tapioca starch
- ½ cup blueberries
- 1/3 cup plant milk of choice (we used coconut)
- ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/3 cup coconut cream
- 1 ½ Tbsp macqui powder (optional; if you omit, the colour will be not as pretty, but the ice-cream will still taste great)
Method
- Remove flesh from your baby coconut with a large spoon. Cut off any brown pieces off the husk, and wash well. You only want the white flesh left, no other bits of grit.
- Add all the ingredients, including the coconut flesh, into a high-speed blender and blend on high until very smooth. This may take 2-3 minutes, and you will need to scrape down the blender sides occasionally.
- Once smooth, pour into an ice-cream tray (or any good-quality metal dish). Cover tightly with alfoil, and set in the freeze overnight.
- To serve ice-cream take out of freezer and allow 10-20 minutes to soften. Scoop out and enjoy with fresh fruit, in a waffle cone or your favourite chocolate sauce.
Note: Macqui powder is a dark purple powder from the Maqui berry that grows in Chile. It has the highest antioxidant score of all fruits and a slightly sweet, tart flavour. You could substitute for Acai berry for a similar colour.
