About: Enthusiastic about making art with everything around me.

I live in a village in Egypt where there is a wide variety of healthy breakfast choices such as homemade dairy products and fresh vegetables that local farmers grow, and because I am also interested in food art, I decided to make use of Areesh cheese - Egyptian cottage cheese - and fresh veggies to make this savory Ice cream.

Supplies

  • 150 gram of areesh cheese.
  • 2 green peppers.
  • 1 tiny red pepper.
  • 1 green chili.
  • 1 red chili.
  • 1 green onion.
  • 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
  • 1 loaf of baladi bread.
  • Salt.
  • Some rocket leaves.
  • Mortar and pestle.
  • A knife.
  • Scissors.
  • A tablespoon.
  • A fork.

Step 1: The Green Ice Cream

To make our pistachio ice cream, I mean Areesh cheese with green pepper we should:

  • Add one teaspoon of olive oil to the areesh cheese.
  • Mix them well with a fork.
  • Chop one green pepper, one green chili and rocket leaves into the Mortar and pestle.
  • Add a pinch of salt to the veggies.
  • Crush them well with the pestle until they are homogenous enough.
  • Stir the mix with some Areesh cheese.

Step 2: The Pink Ice Cream

It's so to dye the cheese in pink:

  • Cut small pieces of beetroot on some areesh cheese.
  • Mix them well until the cheese turns pink
  • Remove the beetroot pieces.

Step 3: Ice Cream Cone

To make the ice cream cone, we can use Egyptian flat bread, which is Known as baladi bread:

  • Cut a triangle out of the round loaf.
  • Cut it into two smaller triangles.
  • Put them on top of each other.

Step 4: Adding Ice Cream in the Cone

Now it's time to fill our cone with these savory ice cream scoops:

  • Add a tablespoon of plain areesh cheese on the upper part of the bread.
  • Add a larger amount of the green and the pink cheese respectively.
  • Make the scoops look like they are melting on each other.

Step 5: Cherry and Sprinkles

Finally, it's time for our ice cream toppings:

  • Put a tiny red pepper on top.
  • Chop the brown part of a green pepper into small rods.
  • Sprinkle the pepper rods on the pink part of the cheese.
  • Chop the green onion into round pieces.
  • Add them to the cheese with green pepper.


Step 6: Enjoy!

Now you can enjoy this extremely "healthy" and tasty ice cream as a breakfast without any guilt.

Bon Appetit!
