Kefir Ice Cream

peanut butter powder butter

cocoa or cacao powder (optional)

cocoa or cacao powder

Blend together plain kefir, desired add-ins, and as much sweetener as desired in a blender or food processor.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Add mixture to an ice cream maker, following the directions for your ice cream maker.&nbsp; Serve immediately, or store in an airtight, freezer-safe container.&nbsp; Use within a week.Tip: If storing in the freezer, ice cream may freeze solid.&nbsp; Allow ice cream to sit at room temperature 20-30 minutes until softened.

Ice Cream Maker Directions:

Add plain kefir, desired add-ins, and as much sweetener as desired to the basin of a blender or food processor.&nbsp;&nbsp;Blend until mixture is frothy, with lots of air bubbles.&nbsp;&nbsp;Tip: Air bubbles are easiest to achieve in a high-powered blender (like a Vitamix.)&nbsp; If your blender isn't creating the desired air-bubbles, try pouring the mixture into a mixing bowl after blending, and beat with an electric hand mixer on high until the mixture is bubbling and frothy.

Taste mixture, and add more sweetener or add-ins if desired.&nbsp; The mixture should be slightly sweeter than you prefer, because it will taste a little less sweet when frozen.

Pour the mixture about 3" deep into a container until hardened, about 3 hours.&nbsp; Stir the mixture 1-2 hours into the freezing process.&nbsp;&nbsp;Container Tip:&nbsp;If serving immediately, an open container will be fine.&nbsp; If storing, pour mixture into an airtight, sealable container.&nbsp;&nbsp;A long, shallow container will allow the mixture to freeze more quickly (approx. 3 hours), and a deep container will take longer (approx. 6-8 hours). I generally pour my kefir mixture about 3" deep.

Remove kefir ice cream from the freezer.&nbsp; Use an ice cream scoop to serve, and use within a week.&nbsp;Tip: If the ice cream has frozen solid, let it sit at room temperature 20-30 minutes until softened.&nbsp; Kefir frozen in a large, deep containers could take up to an hour to soften.&nbsp;
