Tahini Ice Cream

 

For the tahini lover I introduce tahini ice cream. Sounds weird? Wait until you taste it. This is a creamy and spicy ice cream that is very easy to make. It does not require an ice cream machine wich can be considered a big plus for us normal people. The condensed milk helps the ice cream to set and get a nice creamy texture. 

Tahini Ice Cream

1 can of sweetened condensed milk

500 ml heavy cream

3-4 tbs of raw tahini

zest from 2 lemons

juice from 1/2 lemon

A dash of cinnemon

1. Beat the cream until soft peaks form. Fold in the condensed milk and the tahini.
2. Add the lemon zest and the juice and keep folding it in, be gentle. 

2. Put the batter in a box or in individual serving cups. Dust the cinnamon on top and put in the freezer. I recommend to leave it over night. 

Serve it with berries or fresh fruit!

Enjoy!

Here is an easy to make, delicious cake with apple, cardamom and cinnamon. You won’t be disappointed, I promise, this is a cake that doesn’t just taste good – it also looks good. The secret ingredient of this recipe is the cardamom that makes the cake exceptionally good. Cardemom is a commenly used spice both in Scandinavian cooking and Middle Eastern cooking. Try it, it's my favorite apple cake!

3 eggs
1 cup casted suger 
75 g butter, melted 
1,5 tbs baking powder (don’t be afraid of using baking powder, it makes the cake pop)  
1 tbs vanilla suger 
1 tbs ground cardamom 
150 ml milk 

Filling 

3 large apples, peeled and sliced 
3 tbs cinnamon 
3 tbs dark brown sugar 
 
Topping: icing sugar
 
1. Warm the oven to 175°C.
