Instead of coconut, this unique dairy-free ice cream has a rich chocolate base. It's also infused with nutritious plant-based ingredients. The hands-on Prep time for this recipe is minimal. But allow time for freezing the ice cream maker insert and churning the ice cream.
1 ½ to 2 cups frozen banana chunks (about 2 large bananas; see Banana-Free Option below)
Instructions
Melt the chocolate with about half of the milk beverage (3/4 cup) in your microwave, on the stove top, or in a double broiler.
Place the remaining ¾ cup milk beverage, nut or seed butter, protein powder, and salt in your blender. Add the melted chocolate mixture and blend until smooth, about 1 minute.
Add the frozen banana chunks and blend until smooth, about 1 minute.
Churn the mixture in your prepared ice cream maker, or use one of these methods if you don't have an ice cream maker.
Enjoy as soft serve or pack the soft ice cream into a freezer-safe container and freeze until solid, about 3 hours. This fudgesicle ice cream is not icy, but very rich, so it sets up firmly. If needed, let it sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before scooping.
Notes
Banana-Free Option: Blend 4 large, soft, pitted medjool dates with about 1 cup unsweetened dairy-free milk beverage until smooth. Use this in place of the banana.
