Ingredients:

---custard
1/2 cup brazil nuts -- raw
1 cup water
2 1/2 cups pineapple -- fresh
1/2 cup brown rice syrup
1/4 cup maple syrup

Preparation:

Start with all custard ingredients as cold as possible. Blend nuts and water until nuts are completely pureed (not gritty) and mixture is smooth (about 5 minutes for brazil nuts). Add remaining custard ingredients and blend again until well integrated, smooth, and frothy. Total time for blending should be about 7 minutes. Freeze in an ice cream maker as directed (about 30 minutes). If you do not have an ice cream maker, pour into a large rectangular pan, freeze until solid (but not hard) and blend again. Freeze in a regular bowl. Remove from freezer about 30 minutes before serving. Garnish individual servings with ginger, pineapple, and coconut. Makes about 4 cups. VARIATIONS: - - Can use any type of nut in place of Brazil nuts. - - As the sweetener, any combination of unrefined sweeteners (maple syrup, brown rice syrup, barley malt syrup, etc) can be used, and in varying amounts depending on your tastes.
