Kid Approved Chocolate Vegan Ice Cream
I don’t know about you but I love vegan ice cream
There’s really no better way to cool down on a hot summer's day than with a refreshing ice cream cone.
As for flavors, mint, and chocolate have always been my two firm favorites. I use this recipe for making my own vegan ice cream pretty regularly throughout the summer and it can be easily mixed up by changing a few ingredients. Kid-approved, and super tasty, this one is a winner.
Ingredients
- 3 large frozen bananas
- 14 oz soaked pitted dates
- 2/3 cup cacao powder
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional toppings
- Cherries
- Shaved dark chocolate
- Mint leaves
Method
- Add bananas and dates to a food processor or blender and blend until smooth.
- Slowly add in almond milk, vanilla extract, and cacao powder until it forms a paste.
- If your mixture is too loose at this point, you can add in some more frozen bananas.
- Taste and adjust flavors as needed.
- Transfer to a container and freeze for 20 minutes or until your vegan ice cream reaches a good scooping consistency.
- Scoop out, serve in bowls or cones of your choice, add optional toppings, and enjoy!
This recipe is good for about a week if kept in a covered container in the freezer, but it is best eaten when it’s fresh.
