Nora, Thank you for all the great, delicious recipes, especially your chocolate cake. I try not to use all cocoa—trying to forget chocolate, because I know it is not good for my heart (it is a stimulant). So, I use roasted carob powder and a tablespoon of cocoa.
I can’t wait to try this ice cream! Can this be frozen at all?
You are so welcome, Patricia! I hope you enjoy it. Yes, it can be frozen, it just gets very hard so you’ll have to thaw it for some time before enjoying again.
Thanks for sharing! Does it keep long?
It’s best eaten straight away, as it gets pretty hard in the freezer. But it’s possible to freeze it, then eat again, just let it sit at room temperature for a little bit until it softens again, enough to eat. Thanks!
This is my favorite “nice” cream recipe. So good!
Thanks for the recipe. I’ve been making banana fruit desserts almost every night for four years using our Yonanas machine. I am happy to have a chocolate recipe.
Your welcome Trish! I’m thinking about getting a Yonanas machine, they look so fun!
I’m a recent convert to chocolate ice cream – I didn’t like it until very recently (what a weirdo). This looks delicious, will try it soon even though it’s winter here in Australia. Might also make a smoothie out of it 😉
I actually make a very similar smoothie, but I usually add a few cups of spinach as well. ?
Looove it!!! I am an ice cream lover, I mean I can eat it non stop. Your recipe is amazing as it can provide delicious chocolate flavor and creamy texture and keep you in shape at the same time) Will definitely try it!
Thanks Veronica!
