Dairy-Free Chocolate Ice Cream
Ingredients:
- 2 ripe medium-size bananas
- 2 ripe medium-size avocados
- 1/3 cup light coconut milk
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup Splenda sugar blend
Directions:
- Add all ingredients to a food processor or blender and blend until completely smooth, stopping occasionally to scrap the sides of the food processor. If you have a homemade ice cream maker, blend the mixture in the ice cream maker for 10 minutes, then pack into a container and freeze. If you do not have an ice cream maker, just pack and freeze.
- To serve, bring the ice cream out of the freezer about 20 minutes before serving to slightly thaw so it’s easier to scoop.
