I’m Krissy, a once-was sugar addict turned healthy eater. I totally get that choosing healthy over traditional (not so healthy) foods is daunting, and the fear around whether healthy food will taste just as good.   I want you to have your cake and eat it too, without ANY guilt.  Because life is made for living, and there is no room for guilt.

Healthy living doesn’t stop at food, and living healthy doesn’t need to be bland and boring.  Pretty Wee Things is dedicated to bringing you the pretty side of healthy living.

Spiced apple and pistachio ice-cream (dairy free, sugar free, gluten free, healthy)

Healthy ice-cream.  Did you know there was such a thing?  This spiced apple and pistachio ice- cream is delicious, creamy, indulgent and can be enjoyed without any guilt.  It contains no added sugar, dairy or gluten, making it the perfect vegan-friendly dessert.

The ice-cream itself can be made with two simple ingredients.  If stevia isn’t your cup of tea then  you can easily replace it with a healthy sweetener of your choice or skip it altogether.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup water
• 1 cup fresh diced apple
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp stevia
• 1 can organic coconut cream
• 1/4 cup pistachio nuts
• 2 tbsp stevia

Method:

Add the water to a pot and bring to the boil;

Add the diced apple, cinnamon and stevia and reduce to a simmer.  Allow to simmer until the apple has softened and the water evaporated (approximately 20 minutes).  Drain any remaining liquid and set the apple aside;

In a mixing bowl ad the coconut cream and stevia and whisk; Pour the cream into a freezer safe loaf tin/mould.  Spoon the apple into the cream and sprinkle with the pistachio nuts; Cover and place in the freezer for at least 6 hours (overnight works best).

To serve, remove from the freezer and allow to sit at room temperature for a few minutes.  Slice with a hot sharp knife.
