Caveman Eating is a blog about my experiences following the Caveman Diet -- also known as the Paleo Diet or Primal Diet. The diet consists primarily of fruits, vegetables, meat, fish and nuts. There are no grains, beans, dairy, sweeteners, or artificial additives. What can I say -- I like a challenge! Incidentally, the Caveman Diet is good for people who have gluten allergies, because no grains = no gluten.

Caveman Chocolate Soft-Serve Ice Cream
Follow the chocolate pudding recipe from my blog, then put it in an ice cream maker and you'll have Caveman chocolate soft-serve ice cream just like in the picture! It's best eaten right away, because like most low-fat ice creams, it doesn't freeze well. As is melts, it's very similar to a Wendy's chocolate frosty or a chocolate milkshake.
It contains only 75-100 calories per 1/2 cup and is completely Paleo. It contains no sugar or other sweeteners and no dairy. Once again, the secret is sweet potatoes.
Japanese sweet potatoes will make sweeter ice cream than the kind that are orange inside, sold in most stores, but the orange ones work fine too. They're called either sweet potatoes or yams. Both will work. If you use the orange kind, try using 1 1/2 cups water and 6 Tablespoons cocoa powder instead of what the recipe calls for. That's what I did for the ice cream in the picture.
Once you and your friends have had your fill of the soft-serve ice cream, when it melts you'll have a mouse-like pudding once again, also delicious. I'm thinking of making pudding pops. I'll let you know how they turn out.
