Coconut Cream Mango NICE Cream

I prefer the thicker coconut cream although it is a little harder to find.  But it’s worth it for the extra creaminess of it and the added fat for little ones.  So far my favorite brand for this frozen NICE dairy free ice cream has been Thai Kitchen. It may be less at your local grocers.

Want a nice dairy free ice cream that you can easily make at home?   This recipe is for mango but I am sure any fruit would be just as tasty in this recipe for NICE dairy free ice cream!  

Be sure to read the directions in the recipe so you don’t add the watery coconut cream.  You have to refrigerate the canned coconut milk and when it’s cold, take only this thick cream on the top. Save the coconut water that seems almost syrupy for smoothies, adding to pancakes, or waffles… we use it many different ways.

Prep Time10 minutes

Course: Dessert
Servings: 4 servings

Author: My Dairy-Free Gluten-Free Life

Ingredients

  • 2-3 cups of frozen mango cubes OR ANY other frozen fruit
  • 1 can of quality coconut milk or coconut cream.

Instructions

  • Putting it all together:
  • Plan to chill the coconut cream in the refrigerator for at least 4 to 6 hours. I tend to leave a can or two in the fridge in the warmer months so we’re ready to make it whenever we like vs having to wait for the next day.
  • As the coconut milk or cream chills it will start to separate so that the water is on the bottom and the cream is on the top. Open the can at the top per usual and simply scoop out the thick creamy coconut fat, it almost has the consistency of a really cold cream cheese or soft serve ice cream.
  • Put this in the bottom of your blender. *(Save the coconut water that is thick and seems almost syrupy for smoothies, adding to pancakes, waffles..)
  • Add the frozen mango on top and blend on medium high until you have a thick but smooth nice cream. It should be perfectly soft and scoop-able.
  • This is fantastic right away or placed into silicone molds and saved for later frozen treats. It will melt rather quickly so you’ll want to be ready to transfer it or eat it as soon as it comes together.

Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free Taco Seasoning Recipe

By 10 Comments

When you are intolerant or allergic to certain foods, buying prepackaged spice and cooking mixes can be quite scary. Many times they have an ingredient that really shouldn’t be in there that would make me sick. I have to read, read, read everything I buy.  Because of this, I try to make mixes at home. The Taco Seasoning Recipe below is one of my very favorites

Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free Taco Seasoning Recipe.

I don’t use it when I make tacos either. I use it to spice up vegetable dishes, for burritos and I sometimes with glutten-free pasta! When you make your spice, you can feel safe when you cook and eat it because you know exactly what is in there. Plus you can choose the type of spices you like for “heat” and flavoring.

If you like this recipe, be sure to check out my Onion Soup Mix recipe that is also dairy and gluten free! It’s the perfect ingredient to mix with a large cut of meat and stick in the crock pot all day.Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free Taco Seasoning Recipe

Cajun Chicken Stuffed Portabello Mushrooms, Gluten and Dairy Free

By 34 Comments

Mushrooms are so earthy!  I love them and these stuffed Portabello mushrooms  will make the perfect brunch or appetizer for you or a group of people. You will need to double or more the recipe if you are making it for groups since this only serves 2, but depending on the size of the portabello mushroom, some can be huge as sandwiches!   I love stuffed mushrooms of any kind and if the cajun heat is too much for you, try using plain old pepper as tolerated.

Cajun Chicken Stuffed Portabello Mushrooms,

Portabello mushrooms are mature cremini mushrooms that have an intense flavor and a meaty texture.  They are packed with Vitamin B!  A 1-cup serving of sliced, cooked portobello mushrooms contains 15 percent of the daily value for pantothenic acid; 29 percent of the DV for riboflavin; 38 percent of the DV for niacin; and 6 percent of the DV each for folate and thiamine. These B vitamins are essential for a healthy metabolism and nervous system, and help to keep your liver, skin, eyes and hair healthy.

They are also a good source of Protein, Magnesium, Zinc and Manganese, and a very good source of Dietary Fiber, Phosphorus, Potassium, Copper and Selenium.

5 Incredible Health Benefits of Nuts

By 4 Comments

5 Incredible Health Benefits of Nuts

For a while, people thought nuts were just tiny little fatty foods. Luckily we now know better! While nuts do include fats, they include the good kinds of fats, on top of a whole bunch of other helpful nutrients! If eaten in moderation, nuts can be a wonderfully healthy addition to your diet! Since there are so many kinds of nuts in the world, there’s sure to be one you’d like have as a healthy snack! Check out these 5 Incredible Health Benefits of Nuts!

5 Incredible Health Benefits of Nuts

1. Great for Your Heart

One of the amazing health benefits of nuts is that they’re great for your heart! In particular, they lower your bad (LDL) cholesterol, keep your arteries’ linings strong, and reduce your chance of getting blood clots. All of this means a healthier heart and lower chances of you developing heart disease or having a heart attack. These benefits are the result of the fiber, fatty acids, and unsaturated fats found in nuts.

2. Anti-inflammatory

Inflammation has been connected with so many health issues, ranging from simple joint soreness, to arthritic pain and cancer. That’s why it’s so great that nuts help reduce inflammation in your body! This anti-inflammatory property comes from the fatty acids and unsaturated fats found in nuts. The best anti-inflammatory nuts are cashews, walnuts, and almonds.

3. Keep Your Blood Sugar Stable

Whether you have diabetes or not, it’s important to keep your blood sugar levels stable. Luckily, stabilizing blood sugar is one of the benefits of nuts! Nuts can help keep your blood sugar under control whether you have diabetes or are just at risk of developing it. Studies have shown that a large variety of nuts (including cashews, macadamia nuts, hazelnuts, and walnuts) in a variety of forms (including raw, unsalted, and dry-roasted) can cause these good results.

4. Prevent Neurodegenerative Diseases

Nuts are tiny, but they have powerful effects! One of the many benefits of nuts is that they can help reduce your risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s. This is due to all the good Omega-3 fatty acids found in nuts. These fatty acids are critical to good brain health and can help you improve your coordination and memory. Nuts also contain other nutrients, like flavonoids, which help protect your brain cells further! To get these good benefits, try eating more pecans, hazelnuts, almonds, and walnuts.

5. Aid Weight Loss

Yes, nuts do have fat. But they have good unsaturated fats. And nuts can actually help you lose weight! This is because nuts make you stay full longer as a result of their protein and fiber, reducing overeating. Of course, they only help you lose weight if you eat them in moderation. Too many nuts and instead of helping you lose weight, you’ll gain weight! A good rule of thumb is to stick to eating one handful of nuts per day instead of your usual afternoon or evening snack.
