Cherry Charcoal Nice Cream
This midnight black nice cream (banana ice cream)is made mostly with frozen bananas. I add some deep, dark red, sweet cherries and a healthy scoop of activated charcoal to help give it the luscious color and delightful flavor.
Here's our ingredient list.
Also, here's a close up of the charcoal I'm using.
My first step of this very easy recipe is to place in my blender:
7 frozen bananas, broken into pieces
3 roughly chopped dates
1/3 cup of unsweetened almond milk
3 Tbsp of activated charcoal
1Tbsp of coconut oil (optional, this just gives the ice cream a little glossy look.)
Next blend until creamy.
Pour this mix into a freezer safe dish, then fold in our next two amazing ingredients:
1/2 Cup of chopped cherries
1/3 Cup coco dusted almonds (optional, beware of nut allergies)
Finally, simply place in your freezer for 2-4 hours until the nice cream is as firm as you like. Enjoy!
As you can see mine got a little melted on a hot, windy Cleveland day!
