"Nutella" Ice Cream (Non-Dairy) - SRC
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups unsweetened Mimic Creme* (could substitute canned coconut milk if preferred)
- 1 1/4 cups unsweetened almond milk or other non-dairy milk (chocolate, vanilla or plain all work here - I used vanilla)
- 1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp chocolate hazelnut spread/"Healthy Nutella"**
- 6-8 Tbsp coconut nectar (or agave syrup) to taste (depends on how sweet you want your ice cream, remember when it gets cold it is less sweet!)
- pinch of sea salt
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- optional: 1 rounded Tbsp unsweetened cacao or cocoa powder for extra chocolate boost
- For garnish: chopped hazelnuts and chocolate chips or cacao nibs OR you could mix them into the ice cream maker toward the end if want them incorporated into the ice cream
Instructions
- Put all ingredients in a blender and blend on low speed just until combined. This will take 15 or so seconds. Pour into container for electric ice cream maker and process until frozen, following manufacturer’s instructions for your machine. You may chill the mixture before processing if you like, but it is not necessary.
- Eat immediately (it will be a soft-serve consistency, or scoop into a container and freeze for several hours to harden it further.
Notes
*For a creamier and richer ice cream, use all Mimic Creme or coconut milk instead of the non-dairy milk.
**If you are in a pinch and don't have time to make your own homemade nut butter, you can find healthier versions of chocolate-hazelnut butters in health food stores if you want to go that route :)
