Hello luvs,
Today we have another socca meal to share with you all. We have received a lot of questions about freezing socca. Well to be honest we have never tried… until last night. Michelle and I made our socca last night and froze it.
Here is what we did:
- 1 1/4 cups garbanzo bean flour
- 1 1/2 cups water
- couple pinches of salt
Preheated oven at 400 degrees.
Place 3 tbsp oil in 10 inch pan and placed in oven to warm up for 4 minutes.
Took pan out of hot oven and poured socca batter on top.
Placed back in the oven to bake for 40 minutes.
Once done, let cool completely.
Cut socca in half and placed in freezer safe bag.
To thaw your socca:
Re-heat oven to 350 degrees.
Place frozen socca on pan and re-heat for 8-10 minutes.
Also today we decided to make ice cream in our new ice cream maker and enjoy it with our socca. **For those of you who are new to socca. I became obsessed with it when I was in southern France and ever since than I have enjoyed it many many times! Socca is basically a garbanzo bean based flatbread. If you like garbanzo beans than you will love it 
Me in Nice, France with my first ever socca! Changed my life forever!
Pure2Raw Recipe: Fig Purple Basil Ginger Ice Cream (gluten free, dairy free, soy free)
Ingredients:
- 1 cup liquid of choice ( we used homemade pumpkin seed milk)
- 2 cups fresh figs
- 1 tbsp sunflower lecithin
- 5 drops stevia
- 1/2 cup purple basil
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger (you could use freshly grated ginger too)
Place all ingredients into Vita-Mix and blend till smooth and creamy. You may alter the sweetness or flavor to your liking!
We just made a small batch of pumpkin seed milk; not your typical way of making raw milks. But it did the job Did 2 tbsp soaked and rinsed pumpkin seeds with 1 cup water. We have made pumpkin seed milk before.
Slice the fresh figs
Grab your basil
Start placing everything into Vita-Mix.
Blend!
ahhhh purple
Pour ice cream batter into ice cream maker and sit and wait till you have ice cream!
We were impatient so we our ice cream was more of a soft serve
Putting the whole dish together:
We decided to make stacks out of our socca today with ice cream being our filling in between the layers.
Time to build!
DEVOUR!
Socca turned out to be a little bit on the crispy side therefore we enjoyed our stack one layer at a time using the best utensil… our hands!
Till next time,

I want to try socca sooo badly! And this ice cream treat looks amaaazing! Are you guys in Charlotte or Raleigh now? I’m in CH for the school year and if you are at nearby farmer’s markets I’d love to come visit!
Socca ice cream cake! I want this! It looks ahhhmazing!! Now I can’t wait for my figs to turn ripe on my tree … will make this asap!!
Glad socca is getting some attention – such a simple, amazing food. And your ice cream flavor is truly inspired – I love herbal-fruit concoctions!
My roommates and I in college had a campaign we called “No Utensils til Brooklyn” after the Beastie Boys song. Your meal would have been perfect for us!
Oh my word, amazing! Will you make one for me
I really think it’s about time I tried making socca of my own, and what better inspiration than a socca/ice cream tower! Sold!
I’m so glad you explained what socca was… I was so confused. In fact, I am new to so many of the ingredients you use… what a great place for me to expand my food knowledge
I love reading about what you make!
Aww thanks Brittany! You are so sweet. I thought I better discuss more about what socca is since some new people may not exactly know
Ahhh I still really need to make socca!! I have the flour but haven’t had a good chance to make it recently…I always have too many fruits and veggies about to go bad on hand! Love it with the purple ice cream though
Hope you ladies have a wonderful start to your week!!
wowzers!! great recipe. thanks so much. i love the idea of a savory ice cream!
Do you realize how crazy good that looks? I LOVE basil as a smoothie… ice cream basil flavored would be absolutely amazing. I must must must make this! Great idea!
