GLUTEN/DAIRY/SUGAR FREE : VEGETARIAN : VEGAN : PALEO
Makes 1.3 litres
900ml coconut cream
4 egg yolks
1/2 cup honey
300g cooked mashed pumpkin (cold)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ginger
In a saucepan heat the coconut cream until simmering. Take off the heat and set aside. In a large bowl using a hand blender blend the egg yolks and honey together until light and fluffy. Slowly pour in the hot coconut cream with the blender running to mix well. Make sure the coconut cream isn’t boiling at this point (you don’t want scrambled egg yolks!). Return the mixture to a large saucepan and simmer gently until it thickens slightly to form a custard, covering the back of a wooden spoon. Set aside. In a separate bowl mix the pumpkin mash with the spices together well. Add the pumpkin mash mix to the coconut ‘custard’. Mix well, cover with plastic wrap and put in the fridge for at least two hours. Pour the mix into an ice cream maker and follow manufacturers instructions (mine took 50 mins with the ice cream paddle). Put the mix into a container, cover and put in freezer.
Caramel sauce:
1 cup medjool dates, pitted
1/2 cup coconut oil (melted)
2 tablespoons nut butter/ spread (macadamia or almond are great)
1/3 cup maple syrup
1/3 cup almond milk
4 tablespoons boiling water
Method for Caramel Sauce:
Blend everything together, adding the boiling water as you go, until very smooth.
Topping:
1 cup pecans, chopped
Method for topping:
Toast pecans in a hot fry pan until golden and take off the heat to cool.
To serve: Leave ice cream on bench for 15 mins or so until it softens. Scoop into bowls or cups. Top with caramel sauce and pecans.

I was given some recently so had to throw it into good ole mexican with delicious spices - smoky paprika, cumin, cori, chilli, and lots of fresh veggies all wrapped up in a taco. Can't imagine life without Mexican food or VEGETABLES. Might need a trip to Mexico to completely immerse myself in the food and flavours and become a taco. Obsessed by veggies and look well I know jackfruit is a fruit, but I think
5 days ago by brownpapernutrition A little muffin delivery this morning to the Wayside Chapel Community in Bondi Beach. A few years ago I set up a roster which I named "THE MUFFIN PROJECT" and each week either myself, a friend, family or someone from my community helped bake muffins and deliver them to Wayside in Potts Point or Bondi for their community to enjoy. Wayside has been around for decades, supporting those in our community who perhaps do not have a home, have experienced domestic violence, grief, loss and the list goes on. Their cafes serve these beautiful people and when I offered to
