I am making this cake for last  two years since I saw its telecast on Moroccon Food Safari at Fox network channel. But every time forgot to post it until K reminded me to make it again for this citrus season. This cake is full of  orangie yumminess as the whole fruit is added to it.

Not a tiny bit of Butter or Oil. Yes its true.
 
Nor a  spec of flour. 

 
 
Completely gluten free  moist cake with all the yumminess of oranges
 
And the simplest ingredient

I like to flavor my basic ice cream with different flavoring.  I am not ready to change the recipe for preparing ice cream other than this manner. Just because of its simplicity and I have these ingredients available every time in storage.


I know this is quite rich. But having it in small proportions and proper exercise can burn the fat.My funda is to eat what you love BUT in small proportion and always workout. 

So this time it is CRUNCHY ALMOND CHOCO CHIP ICE CREAM




Servings:  750 – 800 gms


INGREDIENTS:

375 ml cream CHILLED
400 gm condense milk (1 tin)
1 tsp vanilla essence

For preparing basic ice cream  click HERE. It should be semi set.

5 tbsp chocolate chips

Now assembling the Ice Cream:

Take out semi set ice cream from freezer. Mix in the roughly chopped almond & chocolate chips.Pour it in a air tight container and freeze over night in freezer at medium temperature
