Easy Chocolate Hazelnut Ice Cream
Servings: 2
Calories: 263kcal
Equipment
- High powered blender like a Vitamix
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup unsweetened almond or soy milk
- 1/4 cup raw hazelnuts
- 2 frozen ripe banana chunks
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 4 fancy dates (or 2 medjool dates), pitted & quartered
Instructions
- Place milk & hazelnuts in a high powdered blender and let soak for 15 minutes. Then blend until nuts are pureed.
- Add the rest of the ingredients & blend until smooth and creamy.
- You can serve right away - it may be a little thinner or you can freeze until it is a little more firm.
Notes
You'll need to freeze the bananas ahead of time for about 24 hours. Peel ripe bananas, break in to chunks, place in a ziplock bag, & freeze.
Also, taste your hazelnuts first before using to make sure they are fresh! Rancid nuts taste nasty and so will your ice cream if they are bad...
