Healthy, soft serve chocolate ice cream.

[big brown horse]

Ok, I have this in another thread about ice cream, but I think it deserves its own thread.

Makes 4 large servings or 6 regular servings...

4 frozen bananas, cut into chunks prior to freezing
1 cup of milk or coconut milk
4-5 TBS of cocoa powder

(I added a few raw duck yolks for more protein but it wasn't in the original recipe.)

toasted nuts etc. for garnish

Blend the first 4 ingredients in a blender (and the yolks too if you use them). Fold in the nuts or whatever you want to use for garnish.

We had this twice this weekend...it was that good! Don't freeze it, use it right away. (If you freeze it, it gets pretty hard.)

I wonder if I could switch MyT Man over to this from his nasty little ice cream sandwhichs that he loves in the summer... Hmm....

I totally bet it would, if she adds some honey for sweetness/to balance the cocoa

Pumpkin is really sweet too. I use it to thicken soups.

That sounds like an excellent idea!

I bet you could make some yummy healthy cookies too!
