Paleo Plan's Grain-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

   
    One of my favorite recipes! My mother in law showed me this one last year and I never could make them as good as her until I realized she used blanched almond flour instead of almond meal! They are so good and moist. My family loves them. Especially with the Enjoy Life brand for the chocolate chips, which are soy & dairy free! Here is the link to the recipe:

Paleo Vanilla Coconut Ice Cream


We recently bought an ice cream maker because we were spending so much money on pints of coconut ice cream. My husband would go through one in less then a week! Anywho, here is the recipe we came up with after looking a different recipes.Do not substitute honey for maple syrup. Honey tends to crystallize when frozen.

Ingredients:

16 fl oz of canned, full fat, coconut milk
3 egg yolks
1/3 or 1/4 cup of maple syrup, Grade B
1/2 tablespoon of pure vanilla extract

Combine all ingredients in a sauce pan and bring to a low boil while whisking. Remove from heat and let cool. Strain mixture into a medium mixing bowl, and cover with plastic wrap. Chill mixture in refrigerator for 2 hours. Once chilled you can put into your ice cream maker. It took ours about 15- 20 mins. It was soooooooooo creamy! Even the next day! Much better than the store bought coconut ice cream. Feel free to add almond butter, chopped up fruit, nuts, etc. 5 minutes prior of it being done for a nice variety.
