    “Cheat” Ice Cream in a variety of Flavors

    Once I started making ice cream this way, I stopped bothering with the egg-laden version. This is 3 minutes work, 30 minutes in your ice cream maker, and then (at least) an hour in the freezer. You can make it in any flavor you feel like – I have given a few of my favorite options here. As I am sensitive to cow’s-milk, I have also noted the dairy-free/Pareve version, which is also (in this case) the vegan version. I hope you enjoy! Ingredients 500 ml. heavy cream (or dairy-free/Pareve substitute) 300 ml. (1¼ cups) milk (or dairy-free/Pareve substitute such as soy milk/rice milk/almond milk) 6-8 Tbsp. sugar (if using…

    Sweet Bun and Challah Dough

    Friday, morning, three weeks into my diet. Three weeks where I see a variety of breads, Challahs, buns a cakes galore daily in various online forums… So I reached a breaking point and got in the kitchen to improvise a sweetish dough, which I made into a braided Challah, a round Challah and some stuffed buns. Sometimes an improv turns out nice, sometimes it goes straight to the bin, and sometime, like this time, all the stars align and a new recipe joins my standard-recipe family. So here it is, my first made-up yeast dough recipe – originally Gluten-free, and dairy free – here adjusted for plain flour. For the…

    Coconut-Lemon-Pistachio Cookies

    I originally made these cookies based on a Karin Goren recipe (“Sweet Secrets 2”, p. 158). They were very nice, but I am the type of person that likes flavor-punches. I don’t do “nice” in food – I love spices and strong flavors. So I changed things up a bit, played with ratios, replaced some ingredients and added a few others. I think the result is spectacular (if I may say so myself). Ingredients 130 gr. soft coconut oil (not liquid!) 200 gr. (1 cup) granulated sugar 6 Tbsp. freshly-squeezed lemon juice 4 egg yolks 1 tsp. 100% pistachio paste 300 gr. (2 cups+2 Tbsp.) Tami GF flour (or plain…
