Many people are looking to improve their health by eliminating wheat, corn, and/or dairy from their diets. I have been experimenting with recipes that are free of wheat, corn, and dairy for several years. I've created "Ideal Ingredients" to share not only what I have learned, but also to share a delicious and healthy way of eating!

Special Note: If you are also avoiding eggs, you may substitute the following for 1 egg in my baked goods recipes.
1 egg = 1/3 cup applesauce OR 1/4 cup mashed banana OR 1 T ground flaxseed + 3 T water

Mom's Best Strawberry Ice Cream


Homemade ice cream has been a part of every summer I can ever remember.  The whirl of the freezer churning creamy goodness in a wooden bucket still makes my mouth water.


In an effort to find a great tasting, dairy-free ice cream, my mom developed this recipe using soy milk and tapioca. She gave me permission to share it with all of you. (The tapioca adds a creaminess that the soy milk lacks.) Enjoy!


Ingredients

6 c soy milk
1/4 c tapioca
3 c strawberries*
I T vanilla
1 1/2 c sugar

Directions

Process tapioca in blender 15-30 seconds to make a fine "flour." Add 3 cups soy milk, 1 1/2 cups strawberries, 3/4 cup sugar, and 1 tablespoon vanilla to tapioca flour in blender. Blend 5-10 seconds. Pour into ice cream freezer. Blend rest of ingredients for  5-10 seconds. Add to ice cream freezer and freeze according to directions. 

*Any berries can be used but strawberries are my favorite!
