Ani, I love your videos. I use lucuma myself. In this video you say it is a root plant, which it is not (maybe you thinking about yacon?). Lucuma is a highland sapote species (pouteria obovata), very closely related to mamey and canistel. Lucuma naturally has very dry flesh, and so traditionally it is dried.
sorry for geeking out- pomology (study of fruits) is my profession., I grow all sorts of fruits. I love what you do here, yours are some of the best raw recipes out there!

I found you really need a good blender to do this - my blender didn't really work that great.

I saved this one. I would like to know where to get Lucuma.
This looks fantastic. I have to watch my natural sugar intake.

Hi Ani~ My neice has a nut allergy. Any suggestions for cashew substitution? Thanks!

Hi Ani! I can't get lucuma, agave or yacon where I am. Do you have any other recipes for ice cream?
-
This response was so encouraging to me. I am also trying to change to a raw food lifestyle. I fell off of the wagon today though. Your response made me feel better. Thanks.

Lúcuma isn't from de Andes of Perú? In fact in my country, Peru, Lúcuma Ice cream is very popular, probably the best flavors of all. Thanks for sharing.

I went and bought lucuma specially when I heard about this! Is it okay to use agave if I can't get hold of yacon? And how long will it last in the freezer?
abyssquick-thanks for the correction
i must be misinformed!
will look into this more
thanks

gwenhwyfar187 - yes, feel free to use agave instead of yacon syrup. same proportions. will keep as long as any other traditional ice cream, say a month or more in freezer.
shockthesky - it helps to first grind your nuts in to a powder, then place in your blender when using less powerful blenders. :)

looks good- I don't know how I would use yacuma and yacon in other than with this ice cream, maybe in pies and cakes?? Can they be used in the dehydrater? Any tips?

yacon syrup is like agave, won't dry well in dehydrator
i'd just use blended
