Instructions
KEFIR ICE CREAM
**If you are using a homemade Kefir ice cream you will need to start this at least 48 hours prior to needing your cake
1) Place kefir grains and heavy cream in a glass jar and cover. Leave on your counter (at room temperature) for 24 hours
2) Strain the kefir in to a large glass bowl. Reserve grains to start another batch or keep in the fridge, covered with a bit of milk or cream until you start your next batch. Use these at least once each week or replace the milk/cream (this is their food).
3) Add raspberries, syrup and vanilla powder to your kefir bowl. Use a hand mixer to combine completely. Pour this mixture into your ice cream maker and let it do it’s thing for about 20 minutes.

8) Once done, remove from oven and let cool for a 2-3 minutes then sprinkle remaining ½ cup chocolate chips on top and wait until they get “shiny”, then spread to create a thin layer of chocolate.
