Vegan Mint Nice Cream

 
Vegan Mint Ice Cream

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients:

  • ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk 

  • ½ cup unsweetened coconut cream

  • ¼ tsp. peppermint extract

  • 2 very ripe bananas, frozen, cut into chunks (about 2 cups)

  • Optional: 3 drops green vegan food coloring

  • Optional: ½ cup dark chocolate chunks, plus more for garnish

Directions:

  1. Pour almond milk into ice cube trays; freeze until frozen, about 8 hours.

  2. Transfer the frozen almond milk cubes to a food processor. Add coconut cream, peppermint extract, bananas and green food coloring (if using); process until smooth, about 2 minutes, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula as needed.

  3. Optional: Add chocolate chunks to the food processor; pulse until the chocolate chunks are well distributed and slightly smaller in size, 10 to 15 pulses.

  4. Transfer the mixture to an airtight freezer-safe container; freeze until firm, about 30 minutes. Top each serving with chocolate chunks and mint sprigs, if desired.
