Guest guest Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Aloha everyone, I just tried this recipe. I used chia instead of the xanthun gum, and frozen mixed berries instead of strawberries. (it's what I have in the freezer). My son liked it. I wonder, though, why it's called ice cream instead of sherbet or sorbet. Unless I missed something, there's no creamy anything in it. And four servings, well, maybe four ice cream size scoops, it's only two cups of frozen berries, it doesn't mix down to much. About the amount of stevia. I have noticed that some stevia brands now add something to it to give it more bulk. So, a packet of stevia " feels " like a similar amount of sugar sweetness even though it's less actual stevia. Since the liquid doesn't have that filler, it would use a lot less. I imagine they started adding filler because it was difficult to get tiny enough amounts of stevia to sweeten properly. Half a pinch or less is hard to measure. (Yes, I read a lot of labels). Aloha, mirthfullady > > Well > > > > > > Just saw this on an episode of The Doctors.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Any ideas on how I can get a mix of Pineapple, cream of coconut and rum to thicken into an ice cream? I tried Agar Agar and that was about as successful as Knox Gelatin would be. Nada. Do you suppose Xanthan Gum would do it? It's such a great Tropical combination. Pina Colada(ish). You're Aloha made me think of it. terry On Mar 10, 2012, at 1:38 PM, mirthfullady wrote: > > Aloha everyone, > > I just tried this recipe.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Because of the enzymes in the fresh pineapple, and the alcohol, which doesn't freeze, I think the only way you will have success would be to try to thicken the mix with chia, flax, tapioca or sunflower seeds or cashews. If the agar agar didnt work, I seriously doubt there is any other way, other than to thicken it with something that will form a bulking agent. Trial and error may be your only shot. Have you thought of trying to make popsicles with it? Again, the alcohol may keep it from freezing totally solid, but worth a shot (no pun intended, lol) Sent from my iPad On Mar 10, 2012, at 1:49 PM, Terry Pogue <tpogue@...> wrote: > Any ideas on how I can get a mix of Pineapple, cream of coconut and rum to thicken into an ice cream?

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Did you soak the chia to make chia gel or put the seed in to grind as you made the ice cream?

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Did you try freezing the pineapple chunks and making coconut cream " ice cubes " and using VM to then turn into " ice cream " ?

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 I had to chuckle reading this topic, while thinking, the more you " sampled " your trials with the recipe the more you might forget your objective (from the rum content).

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Aloha, What I would do would be to add ice and serve when made. It's very like a piña colada, and thick, but not exactly ice cream. Do you need to make it in advance and freeze it?

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Aloha, Sort of both. I put the seeds and water in first and let it sit for a minute before adding everything else but didn't actually make the gel first and add it like an egg. Do you think it would make it creamy to wait for it to get to egg-like consistency first? Since it was first in the blender, I am not actually sure if it gelled or not. I've never timed how long it takes and often have a little jar if gelled chia in the fridge ready to go. But this time I just put it in....

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 For chia gel, I just cover the seeds with enough water to cover the seeds, then a splash extra. Let them soak for a few minutes until they plump up, THEN buzz them up with a bit more water to get the consistency you want. For flax gel, I GRIND the seeds first, then add enough water to cover the ground meal by about half. For tapioca gel, I cook the ground pearls in my rice cooker with enough water to cover, THEN I buzz up the cooking water and pearls together. All of these make bigger batches than what you would need to replace an egg, but you can store the extra gel in the fridge and use what you need as needed. All three make WONDERFUL hair gel, egg substitute, bulking agents, pudding, sauce thickeners, etc. You can also freeze cubes of them for when you just need a bit-just thaw them for 20 minutes or so before use. Super handy to have on hand. For hair gel, you only need a tiny amount to do a wonderful job of taming frizzy ends or for styling.
