Ice cream cake

Today I want to try to figure out how to make ice cream cake!
I'm going to use the bean cake recipe I made the other day, but maybe try cocoa rather than the chocolate chips to reduce the sugar more.
I want to use stevia and beans rather than sugar and flour.
Also, I don't have an ice cream make. Soooo.... here's what I am going to try.

I watched a video they had featured on allrecipes.com for ice cream making without the maker.

So I am going to try this:
1/2 c coffee
2 c heavy cream
sweetened condensed milk recipe below
a little almond extract

beat until right consistency- it will be thick


To substitute for sweetened condensed milk I found a recipe at http://www.kitchenstewardship.com That I will modify a bit.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 c. whipping cream
1/2 or 2/3 cup stevia

Put these in a heavy pan and carefully bring to a simmer- don't scorch it!
Let it stay on the burner on really low heat for about a couple hours to reduce it. check it.

Now whisk in remaining ingredients

3 T butter
1 tsp vanilla

Jamie fixed delicious scrambled eggs for breakfast.
He used colored peppers, bacon, onion, and threw in some of the leftovers- rice and tomato. Loved it!

green apples and walnuts

peel 'em up

butter, walnuts, olive oil-  I melted them together a bit in the oven, then stirred in some oat flour and flax meal

sliced apples on top (2 green apples), pop it back in the oven while you make the batter
