Egg-Free, Corn-Free, Gluten-Free Simple Ice Cream

My 2.5 year-old gets sick eating certain foods, so I do a lot of experimenting in the kitchen. Finally came up with a simple ice cream recipe we both can eat. Yay.

Vanilla Coconut Ice Cream using the Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker

1 cup raw milk cream
1 can coconut milk
1 cup maple syrup
2 tbsp vanilla

Stir ingredients well together.
20-25 mins in the ice cream maker and it is ready to serve. Best Ice Cream I've made so far.

Gluten and Egg Free Sesame Honey Spice Cookies

1/2 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup whey
3 tbls flax seed in 9 tbls water
2 tsp vanilla
1 cup coconut palm necter
1/8 cup honey
2 tbl molasses
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 cup potato flour
1/2 cup tapioca flour
1 cup almond meal
1 1/2 cups coconut flour


 2 tbl blood orange bitters or orange or lemon zest w/ juice (optional) 
1/2 cup hulled sesame seeds 
Preheat oven 350. Mix all dry ingredients together (except sesame seeds), mix all wet ingredients which includes flax seeds together. Wet ingredients should look like thin pancake batter. Add dry ingredients and mix. When batter forms a dough add sesame seeds. If batter is too wet add more almond meal, if too dry add whey.

Roll into balls and smash flat onto cookie sheet. cook 11 to 13 mins depending on if you want softer or firmer cookies. These came out really tasty. Still a little too sweet for me, but not by much.
