The weather is getting warmer, and I am craving ice cream. Yummy, missing nothing ice cream. This recipe is dairy free, SCD, Low FodMap and Paleo. It is really pretty to look at, and the swirls of raspberry add just the right amount of flavor burst in your mouth.

Cold & Creamy Raspberry Swirl Ice Cream!

The recipe uses pastured egg yolks for a custardy creaminess and nutrition. Yolks have fat soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K2) and those important Omega 3’s. It is churned in an ice cream maker. If you happen to have any left over, you can freeze it and let is set on the counter for 5 or 10 minutes until it softens enough to scoop.

There are a few steps, but it is worth it, and you can do it ahead! So, if you are having company, you can refrigerate the mix up to 24 hours, then just before you set down to dinner, put it in your ice cream freezer. It is done in 30 minutes while you eat your main course.

Ingredients:

4 egg yolks (pasture raised if you can for the extra nutrients)
