Recipe


Ingredients

  • 2 small avocados, flesh
  • 670mL full-fat coconut milk
  • 170g rice malt syrup or maple syrup
  • 250mL coconut water
  • ¾ cup cacao powder (raw or unsweetened Dutch process cocoa)
  • 100g dark chocolate
  • Topping
  • 250g raw almonds
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ⅛ tsp ground nutmeg

Method


  • In a high-speed blender, place the avocado, coconut milk, rice malt syrup (or maple syrup), coconut water and cacao and blend until smooth and creamy.
  • Melt the dark chocolate in a bowl placed over a pot of simmering water. Stir well until melted.
  • Line a loaf tin with non-stick baking paper. Place a quarter of the blender mixture into the tin. Drizzle over about a third of the melted chocolate. Pop into the freezer for 5 mins to just set the melted chocolate (no need to set the blender layer, just the chocolate).
  • Repeat until all the blender mixture and melted chocolate is layered.
  • Freeze until set.
  • Meanwhile preheat the oven to 180°C (fan-forced) and line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper. Toss the almonds with the maple syrup and spices and bake for 10–15 mins or until the almonds are toasted and the syrup has caramelised.
  • Prior to serving, invert the semifreddo onto a serving plate. Top with almonds and serve as the ice cream starts to soften enough to cut.
  • Tip: To make this vegan replace the chocolate with a vegan chocolate or cacao nibs.
