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

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.

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)

Did you soak the chia to make chia gel or put the seed in to grind as

you made the ice cream?

Did you try freezing the pineapple chunks and making coconut cream " ice

cubes " and using VM to then turn into " ice cream " ?

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). LOL

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?

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....

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.
