Homemade Ice Cream using only fruit, coconut milk and dark chocolate? Healthy Ice Cream and GLUTEN & DAIRY FREE! I love Cherry Garcia from Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream so this is my twist, it’s the fruit with the chocolate chunks that made me say WHOOP WHOOP!
Yep I have officially created a new addiction ~ and WITHOUT THE GUILT to boot! I had no freakin idea it would taste this good! And to me the strawberries with the chocolate taste even better than the cherry with chocolate ~ can you say chocolate strawberries? And then let us dare not forget the banana, the banana honey is just hitting me at the end note and just melting in my mouth, it’s hard to explain in words, you have GOT TO try it for yourself!
AND this has NO added PRESERVATIVES. Did I already mention there are only 4 ingredients? I mean really it’s healthy ice cream you are supposed to sacrifice some taste right? NOPE … I was licking the bowl ~ LITERALLY!
Oh Yeah Baby!
Sometimes Simple Will Make Spectacular!
About to make flavor magic!
Just a bit of beautiful dark chocolate!
Can you say YUM to the CHUNKS!
Smooth & Creamy!
Ummm Droolin!
Ummm Droolin to the MAX!
The perfect combo!
Ready to freeze – soon to be scoops of heaven!
Speechless!
