Nuts are a great source of omega-3 fatty acids.  If you’re not too keen on fish ice cream or even avocado ice cream, try this great recipe for cinnamon black walnut ice cream.  Walnuts are one of the best nuts for omega-3’s.

  • 4 cups heavy cream
  • 4 cups half-and-half
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 2 1/2 cups chopped black walnuts
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

In a large bowl, stir together the heavy cream, half-and-half, sugar, walnuts, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Pour the mixture into the bowl of an ice cream maker and freeze as directed by the manufacturer.  Makes 4 quarts.  If you’re using your ice cream ball, divide by 4.
