What do walnuts offer, and how much maple syrup is too much?
Walnuts are one of the better plant sources of the omega-3 fat ALA. The ODS fact sheet on omega-3 fatty acids explains that ALA, an essential fatty acid, comes mainly from plant oils and seeds, and that the longer-chain omega-3s DHA and EPA come from fish and seafood. Your body converts only a limited amount of ALA to those forms.
Nuts are also energy-dense, so a modest portion goes a long way. The Harvard Nutrition Source page on nuts describes nuts as sources of healthy fat, protein and fibre.
Maple syrup is a natural sweetener, but it is still added sugar. The Harvard page on added sugar suggests treating sweet desserts as occasional, and recipes can use less than the maximum amount. Store homemade frozen desserts in a sealed container, and accept that texture changes over time.
Tree nuts are a common allergen. Label anything you share, and ask guests about allergies. Toasting walnuts briefly in a dry pan brings out their flavour, and keeping them in the fridge or freezer slows them going rancid. A small scoop of a rich dessert goes a long way. Serve it in small portions with fresh fruit.
