OTHER FROZEN DIY TREATS

Tangerine and Other Fruit Ices
(Recipe Below)
This luscious tangerine ice is worth the effort. There are recipes for it all over the various social media platforms.  The tangerines are from MOROCCO. (Got them at Costco). Blood oranges, if you can find them, would be great to celebrate the Blood Moon on March 13th (2025). 
Ingredients: 
**8 seedless Tangerines 
**1/4 c. Maple Syrup 
**Zest from 8 oranges 
**1 Cup of whole fat Coconut Milk
**1/4 teaspoon Xanthan gum powder
DIRECTIONS: 
1. Wash, dry, and zest the 8 tangerines. 
2. Peel and half the tangerines around their equators. 
3. Remove as much white (bitter) strings and fibre from the fruit. 4. Freeze for about 2 hours. 
5. Put frozen tangerines, maple syrup, zest, and coconut milk in the blender. 
6. Sprinkle the Xanthan over the blender ingredients. Xanthan is a natural ingredient often used when creating recipes for people on gluten-free diets. It makes the vegan ice cream less densely iced, smooth and creamy like regular ice cream.
7. Blend until smooth and creamy. 8. Freeze for about 4-8 hours in a glass container, covered. 
TO SERVE: 
Remove to fridge for a while or on counter let it sit for a few minutes. Use a hot ice cream scoop to scoop it out to serve. Very refreshing and delicious. Also tried it with frozen strawberries and homemade cashew cream (cashews, water, maple syrup in blender) and that too was very delicious.  Use it with frozen raspberries, mango,and of course, bananas and cacao powder. Have fun! Stay cool!
