Once you’ve got the hang of the basics, you can get creative with flavors and textures to delight your family!
Homemade Peanut Butter Ice Cream
My friend Dorsey sent me this fabulous dairy free, peanut butter ice cream recipe. She just loves to experiment with Real Food in her kitchen. Dorsey shared another recipe published on this blog on how to make a delicious grain free angel food cake. It was a huge hit for readers on a grain free diet or those on a gut healing protocol such as GAPS, AIP, or SCD.
Dorsey’s encore recipe below for peanut butter ice cream will prove just as popular I’m sure.

Recipe Notes
Any nut butter can be substituted for the peanut butter. I recommend this line of soaked and sprouted organic nut butters.
Coconut palm sugar simple syrup is made by using 2 parts coconut palm sugar to 1 part filtered water. Heat to boiling so sugar dissolves well. Cool and store in refrigerator.
