Slice of Paradise

6/26/2013 0 Comments
 
Hello and Happy Friday!!!
​

I've been dying to share this slice of paradise. This design was inspired out in nature, in the low desert of all places. I must have been wanting something cold and wet!
To start, I created a protein bar crust:
Picture
I followed it up with some homemade strawberry banana ice cream.
Picture
As if that weren't enough I decided to add another layer. Pineapple banana icy on top for the background, my palette's ready!
Picture
Have fun and create a scene that will make a splash!
Picture
Freeze completely, allow to thaw slightly to cut and enjoy a slice of paradise!
Picture
Oh yum!
Picture
When you cut into the pie, you will have two layers of colors!

In the summer, having an ice-cold dessert can be the difference between uncomfortable and sweet bliss. I choose sweet bliss! Have a slice and cool off today!

 Crust:
  • 2 cup raw almonds
  • 2 tbsp chocolate hemp protein powder (or your fav!)
  • 2 tbsp coconut nectar
  • 1 cup pitted Medjool dates
  • opt: pinch of salt
Prep:
  1. Place ingredients in a food processor
  2. Pulse until combined, using a spatula to push down sides as needed.
  3. Press down into in a pie dish to form the crust.
Strawberry Banana Ice Cream (Inspired by the one and only Jerry Berry Ice Cream)
  • small handful raw almonds
  • 4 oz filtered water
  • 7 dates
  • 1 lb frozen strawberries
  • 1 ripe banana
Prep:
  1. Place ingredients in a high-speed blender
  2. Pulse a few times, mash down the sides. Pulse a few times, mash down the sides. Repeat until an ice cream is formed. Tip: Try not to blend continuously, pulse it to create air pockets.
  3. Pour on top of prepared crust.
  4. Place in freezer while creating the next layer.
Pineapple Banana Icy 
  • 1/2 fresh pineapple
  • 2 bananas
  • 10 ice cubes or so
  • dash of stevia
  • few dates
Prep:
  1. Place ingredients in a high-speed blender
  2. Pulse a few times, mash down the sides. Pulse a few times, mash down the sides. Repeat until  combined.
  3. Pour on top of prepared crust.
  4. Proceed to toppings!
Toppings:
  • 1 orange - peeled
  • 1 kiwi - peeled and sliced
  • 1 banana - sliced lengthwise - eat the other half ;)
  • 1/4 cup sliced pineapple
  • 1/3 cup or so of fresh blueberries
Design:
  1. Use the oranges for your "sand"
  2. Use the blueberries to create the "ocean"
  3. Take the banana and place it on the sand at a curve for the "palm tree"
  4. Use the kiwi as the "palms"
  5. And the pineapple as the "sunshine"
  6. A great project for kids and adults!

Stay cool out there!

To good health and happiness,
Christa
