PCOS and Jicama (Mexican Turnip): A Nutritious Addition to Your Diet
Discover how jicama, a low-glycemic root vegetable, can benefit women with PCOS. Learn about its nutritional value and delicious ways to incorporate it into your diet.
Recipe by Susan Quick Indulge in a slice of this decadent ice cream pie layered with Nutella and caramel ice cream and topped with hazelnuts.
This recipe includes superfoods such as:
Nuts are a natural source of Inositol, a derivative of Vitamin B (which is often prescribed in the form of supplements for women with PCOS). Inositol can effectively control the symptoms of PCOS by reducing insulin resistance and improving insulin sensitivity.
1 cup Nutella (chocolate hazelnut spread)
1/2 pint dark chocolate ice cream, softened
1 9-inch dark chocolate cookie crust
3/4 pint caramel (dulce de leche) ice cream, softened
1/4 cup chopped hazelnuts, optional
Caramel sundae syrup
Place unopened jar of Nutella in a pan of hot water and let sit 10 minutes (or heat 1 cup in a bowl in a microwave set on high for 10 to 15 seconds). Spoon chocolate ice cream into cookie crust and use a spatula to smooth surface. Drop teaspoonfuls of Nutella (about 1/2 cup) on top of ice cream. Place in freezer for 15 minutes. Spoon caramel ice cream over Nutella and return to freezer for 15 minutes. Drizzle remaining 1/2 cup of Nutella over top of caramel ice cream. Top with hazelnuts, if desired. Freeze until firm, 3 hours or overnight.
Before serving, allow pie to sit at room temperature 10 minutes. Cut slices with a large knife dipped in warm water and dried with paper towels. Drizzle a small amount of caramel syrup on dessert plates and top with a slice of pie.
