I’ve printed out a few of these yummy nice cream recipes… and just now realize that the nutritional content does NOT print out with the recipe. I wish it did. Thank you.
I can’t wait to try this, since it sounds delicious!
I’ve made it! Super easy and my teenage grandsons loved it! I didn’t have sliced almonds on hand, so I used walnut pieces. I did opt for the maple syrup. I also added a sprinkle of cinnamon to the compote plus an additional apple and a generous handful of blueberries…there was still plenty of “sauce” in the compote. Will definitely make again.
