Instead of sugar filled ice cream, why not try this raw neapolitan nice cream? It’s called “nice cream” because it isn’t made with dairy products (which aren’t quite nice, considering the treatment of dairy cows on factory farms).
This recipe is great for the whole family – especially kids. I mean, who didn’t love neapolitan ice cream as a child? I know it was one of my personal favourites, but little did I know the devastating effects it had on my body.
Ingredients:
Vanilla:
– 3 frozen ripe spotty bananas
– 2 pitted medjool dates
– 1 tsp. fresh vanilla powder
Blend in a blender such as the Vitamix and set aside in a bowl in the freezer.
Chocolate:
– 3 frozen ripe spotty bananas
– 2 pitted medjool dates
– 2 tbsp. raw carob powder
Blend in a blender and set aside in a bowl in the freezer.
Strawberry:
– 3 frozen ripe spotty bananas
– 1 cup strawberries (or raspberries – or you can mix the two)
– 2 pitted medjool dates
Blend in a blender and set aside in a bowl in the freezer.
Method:
1. Get a long rectangular glass container and on one side, layer the vanilla, followed next with the strawberry and then the chocolate (or however which way you want the flavours – similar to how you would see conventional neapolitan ice cream laid out in a container. Do not put the layers on top of each other, you want them side by side).
2. Place in the freezer and let sit for 1-2 hours.
3. Scoop out and enjoy!
