Vegan nice cream recipe to beat the heat 

Ingredients

• 1 Banana ( Frozen and sliced)
• 1/2 Frozen strawberries
• 1/4 Plant based milk of your choice ( I used macadamia milk)
• Sprinkle of vegan protein powder (optional)
• 2 tbsp. coconut oil
• 1 tbsp. cacao oil
• 1 tbsp. sugar to sweeten (optional)

Instructions

1)   Place all the ingredients for the nice cream in the blender. Make sure the fruits are frozen because that will give the nice cream its creamy texture. 

2)If you have a low power blender like the one I'm using in the video, make sure to shake the container so that everything is blended. Feel free to add more milk to help it blend easier but don’t put in too much or else it will turn into a smoothie. If you have a high power blender it will definitely help speed the process up. 

3)For the chocolate shell, place some coconut oil in a bowl. In another bowl, pour in some hot water and place the bowl with coconut oil on top of it to create a double boiler. Once the coconut oil is melted mix in some cocoa powder and optionally some sugar.

 

4)Transfer the nice cream into a bowl and place the chocolate shell on top. The shell should harden after a couple of minutes.  

5)Now it's time to add in the toppings of your choice, I used granola and almonds. Some other toppings that you can use are other fresh fruit, nuts and chia seeds.
