GENEVA'S CAROB MOCHA ALMOND ICE CREAM

With summer near, you may be looking for cold desserts. Here is a wonderful ice cream. I'm frequently asked, "How much sugar did you put in it?" No sugar! "How much cream?" No cream. "How much chocolate?" No chocolate. It is made completely with healthy ingredients.

Pulse 1 c. almonds in blender or food processor just until broken.
Heat oven to 350 degrees and toast almonds. Watch closely. It takes about 5-7 min.

Blend until smooth in blender or food processor:
1 c. cashews
1 c. almond or rice milk
Add:
¾ c. maple syrup
5 T. instant coffee substitute
¼ t. salt
1 T. vanilla
1/3 c. oil
3 c. almond or rice milk
Put liquid into refrigerator to be sure it is very cold before freezing ice cream.

Carob Syrup: In double boiler melt about 1 c. carob chips into almond or 1/3 c. rice milk to make a thick syrup. Add more, if needed. Cool in refrigerator. Combine with blended liquid above.

Pour liquid into ice cream freezer and freeze.
