It’s summertime, and this week it’s very hot. In our house, this means it’s time to make ice cream.
We haven’t made a lot of ice cream so far this summer. I’ve still been mostly sugar free (see HERE) and we just returned from our second big road trip of the summer (read more details about our adventure HERE), so we’ve been gone quite a bit. But this week’s heat wave along with my boys’ sweet requests combined to put me in an ice-cream-making mood.
My boys requested something with chocolate. Coconut sounded delicious to me. So I decided to combine the two, and came up with this fruit-sweetened ice cream treat. Here’s how I made it:
Ingredients
- 3 Bananas
- 4 Dates
- ½ cup Coconut Butter
- 2 cups milk of choice
- 6 tablespoons Cacao Powder
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground Vanilla Beans
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients thoroughly in a high-powdered blender or a food processor until completely smooth.
- Pour into an ice cream maker and process until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Serve and enjoy!
