Not your Average Chunky Monkey Ice-Cream
Who knew you didn't need dairy or an ice cream maker to make delicious and creamy ice cream? Frozen bananas blend up beautifully to make a firm yet creamy ice-cream, and the walnuts and chocolate chips add the finishing touches to make a wonderfully nutritious yet delectable frozen treat.
Ingredients (serves 2):
For the ice-cream::
3 bananas, frozen while ripe but not too spotty
1/3 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
For the chocolate chips:
Ingredients (serves 3)
- 1/4 cup cacao powder, sifted
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil (about 2 ounces)
- Pinch Celtic sea salt
- 1-2 T agave nectar
Directions:
- Sift the cacao powder into a bowl, and set aside. Mix the coconut oil, salt, and agave nectar with a fork.
- Mix the coconut oil mixture with the cacao powder with a fork or whisk until smooth. Pour into chocolate molds, and set in the fridge or freezer to set. Chop when firm.
Directions:
Blend the bananas in a food processor (not a blender) until smooth and creamy. Fold in the chocolate chips and walnut chunks. Serve immediately.
