*Coffee*Banana*Sun Seed*Ice-cream*



Ingredients:
  • 500ml cream
  • (handful) sunflower seeds
  • 100ml (cooled) coffee
  • 1 banana
  • agave syrup
  • (pinch) vanilla seeds
  • half-teaspoon cinnamon powder
Method:
  1. Toast the sunflower seeds in a dry pan and then toss them in a bowl to cool with half a teaspoon of cinnamon powder.
  2. Beat the cream till soft peaks form. Add a pinch of vanilla seeds, a mashed banana and 100ml coffee. Mix in agave syrup to your sweetness preference.
  3. Add the mixture to the ice-cream maker (I bought an excellent Krups ice-cream maker from TAKEALOT.com).
  4. After about five minutes in the ice-cream maker, add in the toasted sunflower seeds + cinnamon. The paddles will mix it through.
  5. Homemade ice-cream is always best served straight out of the ice-cream maker. Sprinkle with a couple of sun seeds to serve. 
Vanilla powder from Woolworths and Agave nectar from Spar.

I am eager to see how sun seed will make a great addition to ice cream when I try this. Thanks Juan for sharing this recipe. It seems out of the sky because I had never come across sun seed in Ice cream but it looks great here so I will definitely give it a go.
