Preparation:
Start with all custard ingredients as cold as possible.
Blend nuts and liquid sweeteners (maple syrup and brown rice syrup) until nuts are completely pureed (not gritty) and mixture is smooth (about 5 minutes for pecans). Add remaining custard ingredients and blend again until well integrated, smooth, and frothy. Total time for blending should be about 7 minutes.
Freeze in an ice cream maker as directed (about 30 minutes).
If you do not have an ice cream maker, pour into a large rectangular pan, freeze until solid (but not hard) and blend again. Freeze in a regular bowl. Remove from freezer about 30 minutes before serving.
Garnish individual serving with peach slices. Makes about 4 cups.
VARIATIONS: - - As the sweetener, any combination of unrefined sweeteners (maple syrup, brown rice syrup, barley malt syrup, etc) can be used, and in varying amounts depending on your tastes. - - Can use any type of nut in place of pecans. |
