Why did I buy yacon and lucuma?

[Stina]

I can't remember!


Does anyone have any rocking recipes with these ingredients? thanks

Both are powdered by the way.


I'm digging through candy recipes looking for something good.

Maybe I'll have to invent something with a Christmas theme with the ingredients!

They are both great to make syrups and sweet like maple syrup and carmel

I'm friends with the beautiful Chaya Rvyka-Diehl who was the raw pastry chef at Cafe Gratitude before she had her baby. I'll have to see what tricks she has up her sleeves.

I am low fat so I do not want to put seeds or nuts in my pie base so I just use dates and lucuma and I love it.

I don't know why you bought these items ;), but I can tell you why I bought them.... http://www.rawfoodtalk.com/showthread.php?t=29006&highlight=coffee

If that isn't the reason you bought it, maybe this was:

Ani Phyo's Lucuma Ice Cream

1/4 cup Lucuma powder
1/2 cup cashews
1 1/2 t. Vanilla powder (or 1/4-1/2 t. vanilla extract)
2 Tablespoons yacon syrup
1/2 cup water

Blend all ingredients until smooth. Pour in plastic container with lid and put in freezer. Keeps well for several weeks.

I share a recipe: Lucuma Mousse
Ingredients
1 cup of sugar
4 eggs
Ground cinnamon
1 can undiluted evaporated milk the necessary amount to blend lucumas
1 can condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 lucumas, peeled and seeded

Preparation
Blend or process lucumas with milk until a thick purée is obtained. Force through a strainer.

Place evaporated and condensed milk in a heavy bottom pan with sugar and bring to a boil, stirring constantly until mixture thickens and the bottom of the pan can be seen.

Add lúcuma purée and continue cooking until mixture thickens again. Add vanilla.

Remove from fire and add yolks, slightly beaten. Return to medium heat for 3 minutes, always stirring. Mixture must not boil. Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl. Set aside until almost cool.

Beat whites until thick. Gradually fold into milk mixture, carefully.

Transfer to a serving bowl. Sprinkle cinnamon on top and refrigerate.

Fresh lucuma substitution:
2 pounds of fresh lucuma = 4 tablespoons dehydrated lucuma powder.
Soak lucuma powder in the same quantity of liquid 2 or 3 hours before using it. Stir. It will have the consistency of a puree.

8 servings

Sport - I am so glad to find someone who doesn't use nuts/seeds.
Can you give me the ratio for the lucuma/date recipe.
Also, what other fun things do you make that has a replacement for nuts/seeds ? I'd love ice cream and many other recipeies but they all have nuts in them.
Thanks

Um... this is a RAW food forum. eggs? refined sugar? canned evaporated milk? condensed milk? While we appreciate the socks off of you, jsantospv, this is not an appropriate recipe to share on this forum.
