Apricot, macadamia & cocoa butter ice cream

I miss ice cream very much and this is the closest thing I have found to replacing my frosty treat. I am yet to find a low histamine version that doesn't freeze solid but at least this one is able to be scraped out into shavings with a hot ice-cream scoop. I have found that the best method is digging the scoop in and rotating it from side to side, digger deeper with each rotation. The raw cocoa butter is optional, but does serve to add some much needed fat into the recipe.

APRICOT, MACADAMIA & COCOA BUTTER ICE CREAM
30g/1oz raw, unrefined cocoa butter (optional)

500g/17.6oz apricots 

270ml/9.1fl oz pure coconut cream (no additives)
100g/3.5oz honey

100g/3.5oz raw, unsalted macadamias

1. Blitz the cocoa butter in a blender to get rid of the lumps

2. Pit the apricots and add the fruit to the blender, blitzing until they are mush

3. Add the coconut cream and honey and blend briefly until combined

4. Roughly chop the macadamias and fry them in a dry pan on low to medium heat until toasted and fragrant. Do not leave them unattended and be sure to move them around constantly to prevent burning. Remove from the pan as soon as they are ready or they will continue to cook.

5. Add the macadamias to the mix

6. Transfer everything to an ice cream churn, following the manufacturers instructions to finish off your ice cream

Enjoy ❤️
