Culinary Zen: Ice Cream Pie

My Food Philosophy

It starts with realizing your connection with the Earth. The earth will always provide you with the food that you need. Whole food in its purest form. Not chemically laden formulas disguised as food. You will begin to appreciate the people who grow the food. You will not settle for a fruit or vegetable that was grown in the most clean way possible. Because, you see, the energy from these foods becomes a part of you when you ingest it. It's all about conscious eating. Being aware of not only what you put in your mouth but where is comes from. I choose to live a plant based and gluten free lifestyle. This blog is an evolution of sorts. It starts with my dedication to using whole foods and moves into my dedication to a plant based cooking lifestyle. All those recipes you didn't think you could have eating the way I do....Bon Appetite

Ice Cream Pie

Nothing can be easier than making ice cream pie. You just have to have a little patience and time.
I am so happy that this is an adaptable recipe. I couldn't live without it. Im not saying this is an everyday food. Its full of sugar whether its gluten or not but it is a nice treat every once and a while.

1 Mi-Del Gluten free pie crust (sold at walmart as well as grocery stores)
1 container cocowhip
1 container so delicious cashew milk ice cream
Santa Cruz chocolate syrup
Nuts (any type) I use peanuts

Let ice cream sit out until mixable. Mix up and put into pie crust. Place in freezer for 1/2 hour.
Take out and add peanuts and chocolate sauce. Place in freezer for 45 minutes
Take out and add container of cocowhip. Place in freezer with cover until ready to eat.
Drizzle chocolate on top before eating. You can also put some diced maraschino cherries atop.
When layering you can also cut amounts in half for a multi layered effect.

Food is love. At least for me it is. My journey and love of food started as a child. Food has always been a big part of my family. Many memories of my grandma are her food. Her shrimp salad, pizza buns, birthday cakes.....the smell of her french fries in the oven. If I think about it hard enough, I can even taste her oil and lemon dressing she would put on her salad. My parents were also into cooking. I grew up thinking that everyone made their own spaghetti sauce. I assumed that everyone had a cupboard in their basement full of fresh canned tomatoes and a mulch pile in their backyard to throw veggie and fruit scraps. The calm and peace I feel when preparing a meal is something I cannot explain. As I chop veggies, boil water, and try new spice combinations for a dish I forget about everything else and go into a zen state. I put alot of thought into the quality of my food, the way it is prepared and the way it is served. My meals are made with much love, thoughtfulnes, and gratitude to my mom, dad, and grandparents. They have passed down to me how important food is not only to your body but to your soul.
