Almond Milk Ice Cream
Ice cream is one of the most well-loved and well-known desserts in the world because it is sweet and creamy, cold and refreshing on a hot day! A quick and easy dessert that most people love. Topping for pies, cookies, brownies, milkshakes, etc. It consists mostly of milk and cream, which can be high in fat and cow’s milk isn’t good for humans. So many people are allergic to dairy. There are dairy alternatives though like almond milk ice cream. Almond Milk ice cream tastes just as good as one made from dairy milk. It’s also much healthier, less expensive and tastes even better especially when you make your own at home! And you can add fruit and berries to make it even more delicious and healthy! Homemade almond milk ice cream is not that hard to make, so you can have your right stuff treat and eat it too!

Ingredients
  • 1cups ½of almond milk
  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 2tablespoons of unsweetened chocolate cocoa
  • 2tablespoons of organic cane sugar or coconut palm sugar
  • Equipment Needed:
  • 1 microwavable bowl or cup
  • A microwave
  • A blenderor food processor
  • An ice cream maker
Instructions
  1. Whisk half a cup of almond milk together with the chocolate cocoa and sugar in the microwavable bowl or cup until they are mixed well. Microwave the mixture for 40 seconds and stir well.
  2. In blender or food processor, put bananas, remaining cup of almond milk, and cocoa mixture. Blend them for about 10 seconds or until pureed. Process the puree in the ice cream maker for about 20 minutes or until the mixture is thick enough.
  3. Note: If you do not have an ice cream maker, use a rectangular baking dish to pour the puree in. Place it in the freezer and leave it there for around 45 minutes. With a fork, stop the formation of more ice crystals around the edges of the dish by scraping them up. Put the dish back into the freezer and leave it for another 30 minutes or so and scrape again. Repeat the process of freezing and scraping until the mixture becomes totally frozen.
  4. Making almond milk ice cream can be done in less than an hour (with ice cream maker).
  5. You can now serve the ice cream right away or freeze it more for later or if you want a firmer ice cream.

Wait there’s a PS!!  

In 2008.. I was fatigued all the time, headaches almost daily, severe migraines weekly, severe joint pain, fibromyalgia like pain all over, depression, thyroid issues, foggy brain, memory loss at age 54 leading to Dementia.  Could barely walk or function.  I was in denial and dying…

Hit rock bottom and knew it was time to make the right changes back to recovery!

At age 61 I’m starting a new journey to encourage and help others who are struggling with chronic illness and ready to start their new journey to better health, reverse aging, have more joy, better focus and live life pain-free!   Look I’ve walked the talk. It is possible!
