Chocolate, meet Orange

Chocolate. Orange. They compliment each otherexceptionally well. The first time I tried this combination, it was when I baked a cake. I was surprised at how the citrius brought out the chocolatey flavour of the cake. So, I did repeated this flavour combo again in this simple ice cream recipe using:

2 cups almond milk + 1 cup skim milk + 1 cup water , 1/4 cup cocoa powder, 1 tsp stevia ( =1cup sugar), 1 tsp orange extract ( will add zest next time), 2 tsp agar powder, 1-2 tsp xanthan gum

-combine all the above over heat so agar dissolves. I use a stick blander after heating.

-freezer and stir/speed mixer every 1-2 hours after the 1st mix when mixture gets firm.

I sprinkled on some puffed rice for crunch. A rather light cocoa scented ice cream than a rich chocolatey one. This recipe makes alot as I made mine with a high air volume churned in.

one scoop,

two scoop...

all gone!

do not Judge a Cake by its Cover

...because than you will miss out on consuming this:

Cake may look like exploded poo and frozen vomit, but don't be fooled by its crappy aesthetic. Taste was divine.

This chocolate pudding cake forms a crackly thin crust on top. Underneath, you get this gooey creamy mousse like chocolate layer, which is speckled with fudgy chocolatey cakey pieces due portions of the cake being more baked up out of the oven.

I threw this in the oven exactly 40 minutes before I planned to eat this so I can devour this beast warm and fresh
