Vegan Ice Cream (Gluten Free, Sugar Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free)
In a comment on my no bake cookie recipe a friend (Michelle B.) left a recipe for this delightful vegan ice cream in the comments. I had to try! The whole family approved =)
Things you need:
2 ripe bananas
2 tbs almond butter
2 tbs unsweetened coconut milk
2 tbs unsweetened cocoa powder
(optional) 1/2 tbs Stevia in the raw
(optional) chopped almond for topping
(optional) 1 large strawberry (or other fresh fruit of your choice)
Servings: 2 (394 calories total)
Cut up 2 ripe bananas and freeze (takes at least 6 hours). When you're getting ready to prep take the bananas out of the freezer and let them thaw slightly on the counter top for 10 minutes.
I used a magic bullet instead of a blender but either will work. Put your banana's, coconut milk, almond butter and cocoa powder (also optional Stevia), and blend until smooth.
Should turn out the same exact texture as soft service ice cream. I topped ours with some fresh strawberries and chopped almonds for added brightness and crunch.
Delicious! Thanks Michelle!
