I am not the strictest paleo diet adherent. I make an effort (not that it's very hard!) to eat tasty paleo foods often, but I also make an effort not to restrict myself. As a result of this, I have gotten in the habit of making primal treats, making sure that I don't restrict myself from the foods I love, but also making sure to put nourishing things in my body. In the past several months, I have fallen for paleo ice cream. Summers in Seattle aren't quite hot like the desert, but ice cream hits the spot when the thermometer is anywhere above 70 degrees and sunny. I became such a fan of paleo ice cream that I ended up making my own recipe book.

My paleo ice cream recipes are healthy, tasty, and extremely simple to make. Instead of using reduced fat milk, an abundance of chemicals, and sugar, my recipes are made with coconut milk, egg yolks, and honey. Additionally I have provided alternative ingredients such as stevia and cream in my ebook for those that have certain taste or dietary preferences.

The first recipe in my ebook (pictured above) is as follows:

*    1  400ml can coconut milk
*    1/6 cup honey
*    2 egg yolks
*    2 tsp vanilla extract

1. Heat coconut milk, honey, and vanilla extract in a medium saucepan over low heat.

2. Whisk egg yolks in a separate bowl. Temper the egg yolks by adding a small ladle of the warm mixture at a time, and stirring continuously until all coconut milk is combined with egg yolks. 

3. Refrigerate mixture until cool.

4. Follow the directions on your ice cream maker and enjoy!
