SPRING
Strawberry, Coconut
& Tahini Ice-Cream
GLUTEN, DAIRY AND SUGAR FREE
COOKING TIME 1HR, SERVES 4
INGREDIENTS
4 cups fresh strawberries
1/2 cup Mayvers Tahini
3 cups full-fat coconut milk
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup coconut flakes
1/2 tsp lemon juice
4 frozen ripe bananas
METHOD
(USING AN ICE-CREAM MACHINE)
1. Place all ingredients into a blender or Vita-Mix and blend until smooth
and creamy. Immediately pour the liquid into your ice cream maker for
approx. 30 minutes and then transferred the container to the freezer. It
needs to chill for about 2 hours before serving. Enjoy!
(WITHOUT AN ICE-CREAM MACHINE)
1. Prepare your ice cream mixture, then chill it over an ice bath.
2. Put a deep baking dish, or bowl made of plastic, stainless steel or
something durable in the freezer, and pour your mixture into it.
3. After forty-five minutes, open the door and check it.
4. As it starts to freeze near the edges, remove it from the freezer and stir
it vigorously with a spatula or whisk. Really beat it up and break up any
frozen sections. Return to freezer.
4. Continue to check the mixture every 30 minutes, stirring vigorously
as it’s freezing. If you have one, you can use a hand-held mixer for best
results, or use a stick-blender or hand-held mixer.
5. But since we’re going low-tech here, you can also use just a spatula or a
sturdy whisk along with some modest physical effort.
6. Keep checking periodically and stirring while it freezes (by hand or with
the electric mixer) until the ice cream is frozen. It will likely take 2-3
hours to be ready.

overlapping otherwise they won’t crisp up. Keep an eye on the cooking
time as different ovens will cook the potato faster.

& Coconut Biscuits
SUGAR FREE
COOKING TIME 1hr, SERVES 20,

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
125g unsalted butter, softened
4 ripe bananas
1 egg
1 egg yolk
4 tbs Mayvers tahini
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 1/2 cups macadamia nuts, roughly chopped

extracts and beat until incorporated.

into an airtight container and refrigerate for several hours or chill
overnight for best results.
5. Roll the dough into desired size balls and press down slightly on the
dough. Place biscuit sheet with the formed dough balls back in the
refrigerator for about 30 minutes to prevent the biscuits from spreading
too thin. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until the edges start to turn golden
brown and slightly crisp and the centers are still soft. Let biscuits cool
completely on the baking sheet.
6. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to a week.
