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!
