Equipment
- blender
- Pot
- Tin / freezer container
Ingredients
Strawberry compote
- 200 gr fresh Strawberries
- 6 dates pitted
- 1 tsp Chia seeds
- 2-3 Tbsp filtered water
Ice Cream
- 300 gr fresh Strawberries
- 250 ml Oat Cream 1 pack
- 10 dates pitted and soft soaked in boiling water if hard
Instructions
- Start making the Strawberry compote as it needs to cool down. Wash the Strawberries with plenty of water, remove the leafy tops and cut them in small bite sized pieces. Add a metal loaf pan to the freezer.
- Add the cut Strawberries, finely cut Dates, ground Chia seeds and 2 Tbsp of filtered water to a sauce pan. Let it simmer on a low burner for 15 mins with a lid on. Mix it with a spoon every few mins until the juices are released and the berries are soft and easy to mash. Add a bit more water if needed. Let it cool down at room temperature.
- In a food processor bring together the ice cream ingredients: Oat cream, Strawberries and soft dates. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Poor the smooth creamy Strawberry mix into the frozen metal loaf pan. Transfer the ice cream to the freezer for 30 mins. To achive a smoother cream Ice Cream I’m mixing it every 30 mins, 3 times.
- On the 3rd mixing turn I finally add the Strawberry compote from steps 1 & 2, making sure to mix the ice cream very well before adding the compote. It’s nice to have some chunks of compote every now and then. Cover it with a lid or parchment paper.
- Let it chill for a minimum of 4 hours. Bring it out 10-15 mins before serving. Dip your spoon in hot water to help scoop out nice balls of ice cream. Serve with fresh Strawberries, Strawberry compote or melted Chocolate.
Notes
If you Dates are dry, soaked them in boiling water for 30 mins or until soft.
