Mocha Ice Cream (raw, vegan)

reading time: ca. 1 min



2 quick coffee ice creams without ice cream maker

Preparation time: 5 mins + 3 hours freezing time
Main ingredients: banana, coffee powder
difficulty level: easy
serves: 1
suitable for: vegan, lactose-free, gluten-free, nut-free, paleo, raw food, and delicious "even so"


Ingredients

3 large ripe bananas, frozen
1 tbsp instant coffee powder - i'm using 1 tbsp caffeine-free made from chicory (cool, eh?)
1 tbsp agave syrup or preferred sweetener (optional)

also:
- a high-speed blender or food processor (NO NEED FOR AN ICE CREAM MAKER!)


Instructions

First, prepare your bananas by breaking them into pieces and letting sit in the freezer for a few hours. Then put frozen banana pieces into your blending machine and blend until creamy smooth.

Add your instant coffee powder and your preferred sweetener; i went for 2 and a bit teaspoons of agave syrup. Then blend again for a few seconds till everything becomes a creamy mocha mass. That's it!

Now fill your "nice cream" into a nice bowl, garnish with coffee beans or cocoa nibs - et voilà! :)


Coffee Cashew Ice Cream

Ingredients

3 large ripe bananas, frozen
handful of cashews, soaked six hours or overnight OR 1 tbsp cashew butter - i'm using the nut butter
1 tbsp instant coffee powder (or my de-caf roasted chicory powder resp.)
1-2 tsp carob or cocoa powder
1-2 tsp agave syrup or preferred sweetener

Instructions

See above! This time also add your soaked cashews (without the water!!) or nut butter, some cocoa powder and your sweetener of choice. Note: I actually added the cocoa after i had already blended and filled my ice cream into a bowl, which created a nice swirly effect. The bowl looked messy though, but who cares. It was frickin delicious.

So there you go: 2 different ways to make coffee ice cream, even de-caf! For me this was a great way to beat my former obsession with morning coffee, haha!
