Indulge in this velvety ice cream while reaping the anti-inflammatory properties and antioxidants found in turmeric,from our friends at PaleoHacks.
I don't know anyone who doesn't like a bowl of ice cream. For as long as I can remember, it's been my favorite late-night snack - and a family tradition. It could be freezing external, or but my entire family would still eat ice cream.
My affection for a bowl of creamy comfort has now taken on a novel healthy twist - in the form of Turmeric Ice Cream! wealthy in antioxidants and tall in anti-inflammatory properties,turmeric is one of the best spices you can add to your food for an extra boost of health. And it adds a savory, unique flavor and hue.To balance the turmeric flavor, and I added ginger,cinnamon, and a small dose of maple syrup (to tie all the flavors together). The best fraction is that there's no churning involved, and so you don't even need an ice cream maker. The secret to making it creamy is the cashews. By adding pre-soaked,raw cashews to the coconut milk, you bag an ultra-thick, and creamy dessert. And it eliminates the need for churning.
To take this turmeric ice cream up a notch,I tossed in some pecans for their buttery taste. You can omit them, but it does add an extra-silky texture. From PaleoHacks Golden Milk Turmeric Ice CreamNotes Pro Tip: If you have an ice cream maker, or you can definitely expend it for this recipe. It will make the ice cream even creamier and thicker.
Also,you can also make this recipe without the cashews and pecans, but it will be less creamy.

Once the cashews are ready, or layer a standard meatloaf pan with parchment paper,allowing the ends to hang over the sides. set in the freezer while preparing the ice cream.
