white chocolate strawberry-rhubarb probiotic soft-serve ice cream with oils of geranium & rose





a mouthful! 
I imagine I'll be eating this in heaven. it's dairy free, so healthy and so easy. no ice cream maker required. I added probiotic capsules cause it's never a bad idea to throw them into healthy treats like this!
now let's talk about the health benefits of geranium oil cause I'm really loving it right now:

this oil is incredible for your skin and hair. add a drop to your moisturizer for a smoothing effect, or apply a few drops to your shampoo or conditioner bottle, or make your own deep hair conditioner. diffuse aromatically for a calming effect, helps skin blemishes, naturally repels insects, and much more. i am a sucker for the smell. i want to wear it all the time! so why not eat it? it gives this ice cream the most delicious floral notes and will make your house smell amazing while you're making it!

ice cream:
in a medium saucepan add:
11/2 c sliced rhubarb
11/2 c sliced strawberries
1/4 c pure maple syrup
1/4 c dried rose petals
-bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 10 minutes.

in a high-speed blender add:
1 c cashews (soaked overnight)
1/3 c cacao butter
3/4 c hot water
1/3 c pure maple syrup (or raw honey. you can do this to taste depending on how sweet you like it)
5 drops geranium essential oil
2 drops rose essential oil
3 capsules probiotic (opened)
punch of sea salt
-blend on high until very smooth. add strawberry/rhubarb mixture and pulse a few times. pour into a container and set in freezer. stir every 1/2 hour until almost frozen. once it's completely frozen, remove from freezer 15 minutes before serving. 


scoop, savor.
