VEGAN ICE UN-CREAM

Ice Un-Cream is a dessert favourite around our home!  Ice un-cream takes less than five minutes to make, you could eat it for breakfast, it is healthy AND it tastes delicious!  

Ingredients:  
FROZEN fruit of your choice
A drizzle of nut milk or coconut milk
Optional ingredients such as ground cacao nibs, finely chopped nuts, unsweetened coconut shreds, nut butter, dried fruit bits...

Directions: 
1. Take out your food processor or high speed blender (eg Vitamix).  I find the vitamix works best.  
2.  Add your fruit to the blender.  I usually add banana because it make the ice un-cream smoother!  
3.  While drizzling in as little nut milk as possible, blend the frozen fruit on med-hi only until blended.  If you are using a vitamix, use the tamper to help push the fruit down. Don't overmix or your un-ice cream will get too melty!  
4.  Add optional ingredients and pulse a couple times.  Enjoy!  

Some favourite combos around our house: 
1 Banana, 3 handfuls of raspberries, 3 handfuls of blueberries and drizzle of raw almond milk.
1 Banana, 1 mango and a drizzle of coconut milk.
1 Banana, 1 cup of pineapple, 2 handfuls of strawberries and a drizzle of coconut milk.
2 or more bananas, 1/4 c nut butter, 1 T roughly ground cacao nibs.

If you have extra, add a bit more nut milk, blend and pour into popsicle molds for another day!
