Hazelnut Espresso Adrenal Ice Cream

Ingredients

• 1 cup hazelnut cream
• 1 cup young coconut meat
• 2 C coconut milk
• 1/3 C melted coconut butter
• 1 t vanilla bean powder
• 2/3 C agave/maple syrup, 3/4 C coconut nectar or 2/3 t Steviaclear drops (I go 1/2 t and then taste and adjust)
• 2 T dandy blend or other coffee substitute powder
• 2 t sunflower lecithin
• pinch Himalayan salt
• 2 T ashwagandha powder (optional, or more)
• 2 T astragalus powder (optional, or more)
• 4 dropperfulls of ginseng (optional, powder is ok too)

Instructions

Blend all ingredients thoroughly and freeze according to your ice cream makers’ directions.

You can also freeze as popsicles or if you don’t have an ice cream machine this can be frozen and then blended to make soft serve and to take full advantage of that deluxe blender that you own!

Make this probiotic by prefermenting your hazelnut and coconut cream, using Using L. rhamnosus for this may help to decrease anxiety and depression, increase feelings of wellbeing and raise norepinephrine levels.

To make the hazelnut cream:
soak 1/2 C hazelnuts for 8 hrs
rinse hazelnuts and blend with 1 C water
strain

To make the coconut milk from desiccated/shredded coconut:
soak 2/3 cup desiccated coconut overnight (or 8 hrs… just to make it easier to blend)
blend with 2 C water
strain through a nut milk bag

To make the coconut milk from fresh coconut:
(best ever)
bust open your coconut cathartically (I literally throw mine on the ground until it cracks but there are more sophisticated methods, I consider it stress relief, adrenally speaking)

Remove the meat from the inside. It’s not pretty but it’s worth it.  This can be made easier by warming the coconut in the sun or in a low oven until the flesh starts to separate from the husk, I don’t usually do this.

Peel the brown parts off the coconut meat with a vegetable peeler. You will totally know what I mean if you are doing this.

Blend 2/3 cup of coconut meat with 2 C water

Strain through nut milk bag

If you have leftover coconut meat you can freeze it to use next time
