Borage is a diuretic and rich in essential fatty acids, making it helpful for those with arthritis. Ginger is an anti-inflammatory and blueberries are rich in antioxidants. Not only is ice-cream good for you it taste delicious too!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups frozen blueberries, plus extra for garnish
- 2 frozen bananas or 1/4 cup cashews (soaked in water for 4 hours, then drained)
- 1/2 cup chilled coconut cream or cream
- 2-3 Tbsp raw honey or pure maple syrup
- 3 Tbsp chopped fresh borage flower and/or leaves
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 2.5cm piece of fresh ginger, finely grated
Method
Place all ingredients in a food processor and process until well combined and smooth. This will take a few minutes and you may need to scrape down the sides of the bowl and whizz again. Taste and adjust to your liking.
Transfer to a container with a lid and keep in the freezer. If the ice cream becomes too hard, simply place it back into the food processor and process - it will be perfect once more. To Serve
Sprinkle a few extra borage flowers over the top. This can also be made into ice blocks!
Serves 2.
