Tonight after two swelteringly hot days I thought I’d cool myself down with my favourite Vegan Ice Cream. But this time, just as a bit of a change I added 4 of my Cacao, Date, Nut Energy Treats and blended them in at the end. And Wow! what a magical difference it made. Vegan Chocolate Chip Ice Cream with no dairy or sugar.
Before adding the Cacao Nut treats
Ingredients:
8 Medjool dates pitted
1 tray of ice cubes
4 frozen ripe bananas
1/2 litre of soya milk
3 tsp of vanilla extract
4 Cacao Nut treat pieces
Method (Thermomix):
Place the dates and the ice cubes in TM bowl
Blend for 10 seconds on speed 10
Add all but the cacao nut treats and Blend until creamy approximately 30 seconds on speed 10.
Add Cacao nut treats and blend for 20 seconds on speed 10
Serve and eat immediately
Method (Conventional): Same as above but using a high powered blender or food processor. You may however have to alter the timing to achieve the same results.
