Do you like chocolate? Bananas? Coffee? Peanut Butter? How about ice-cream? This is for you! ππ«βπ¨
How's a banana-y smooth, creamy chocolatey-mocha, salty peanut-butter, melt-in-your-mouth, make you eat it all in one-sitting but it's OK because it's made with healthy ingredients, sound?
Good, I thought you'd say that! (Did I mention vegan and sugar-free yet?) I have got you covered! You can even put this stuff with a raw, vegan, caramel coated brownie (I'll share the recipe laterπ) if you want to give your taste-buds a real out of this world experience! π
This is my first entry for steemitculinary challenge, hosted by @woman-onthe-wing. I hope you enjoy the recipe! It was inspired by my peanut butter cups I made to share with you all the other day!
First off, let's take a look at the ingredients!
(I made about 12 small, 1-scoop servings)
- 3-5 small, frozen bananas
- 1/4 cup organic soy milk
- 2 tbs black cold-brew/chilled coffee (don't worry, I'll share that secret with you another time!)
- 1 handful of dates (about 6-7)
- 1 handful of almonds (about 8-10)
- 1 small piece of vanilla bean or 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 frozen peanut butter cups (see my vegan, sugar free recipe here)
Ok so now that we have the key players ready for action, let's place it all in a food processor/blender!
(I had to switch from my small attachment to my larger blender and add in the peanut butter cups then due to the size of my processor)
Blend away my foodie friends! Once it's a nice consistency, it will be cold from the frozen bananas and peanut-butter cups.
If you're impatient like me, you can eat it straight away like that as a delicious, creamy soft-serve! Don't forget to share! Some might even get up in your face asking for a lick! ππ
Or if you like the traditional scoop-edition, you can put it in trays like mine seen here, (these little dishes work amazing to give the perfect scoop!) in the freezer for a little while to get it extra cold and turn into a hard, scoopable ice-cream!
Give it some time to harden (I left it overnight), place it on a plate with a brownie and life just got pretty dang delicious if you ask me ;)
I hope you enjoy this as much as I did... I just can't get enough!
Sending love through food!
XO,
Great combination!!
Thank you! I hope you get the chance to try it! It's sooo dreamy :)

OK, stop already!!!! I am up still working and now I need a snack!!!! That looks absolutely amazing!! I obviously cannot make that this late at night (or early in the morning for that matter) .... I guess I could have some watermelon - But I don't want watermelon, I want what she is having, a scoop of Choco-Banana-Mocha-Peanut Butter Cut Ice Cream!!!! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe, I am for sure going to try this, possibly this weekend.. Love you my Steemit Friend.. SUNSHINE247
Haha oh no! I wish I could share some with you my new friend! It's actually really easy to make, you can just save it for later and then it'll be extra special ;)
Let me know how it goes for you! You sure do love your watermelon, don't you! haha ;)
Hope the rest of your shift is awesome!

Cheers
@progressivechef
I just saw yours- yum :)
Thanks Chef, I am obsessed with chocolate, can you tell? ;)
Looking at your figure, it does not seem so! me I am addicted to choco infact!
Well cacao is just a bean in its raw form :) So it's actually very healthy and doesn't pack on any pounds (I know because I eat pounds and pounds of it) :P
K so I'm making this just need to add bacon mmmmmmmmm
Hmmm... bacon icecream? I mean... if you gotta, you gotta ;)
Now it's stuck in your head isn't it mmmmmmmm bacon
Ohhh it's really yummy π!!

Oh no...@heart-to-heart, you make me hungry now. That's yummy. But I'm fasting now. Anyway thanks for sharing:)
Oh @honey-pot, I am sorry to make you see this while fasting! Maybe after ;)
No need to be sorry @heart-to-heart, I'm fine. Is nice to see your post and all the foods you share. Have a nice day ;)
Thank you :) I will keep sharing away then (except when I am fasting because that is torture) ;)
Have a great week @honey-pot!

A delicious ice cream recipe that qualifies as both breakfast and dessert! Sweetness from dates, soft serve texture from bananas, salty creaminess from peanut butter and coffee flavor for wake-up! Magically combination! Lovely presentation. Good luck!
You can pretty much just eat it all day, it's an everything meal and without any guilt about it ;)
Thanks so much, I seem to have eaten it all already :P
Hope you try it out!
Have a wonderful week!

This is the best healthy ice-cream recipes I can think of. Although it's ice-cream, It's rich in macros, like dates, almonds, PB, banana. The sugar that dates contain is natural, so no harm to your body.
You solved a big problem of mine. Thanks for the sweet tooth.
Without wasting time, I'll try this.
Hey! I love your input, exactly what I am going for with my recipes, nothing artificial or processed yet not sacrificing taste one bit! I love making things that I used to crave healthier ;)
I'm happy you noticed and would love to hear if you end up whipping it up!

Well hello there @heart-to-heart, what a super first entry for the Steemit Culinary Challenge! I have to say it sounds absolutely amazing with flavours of coffee, peanut butter, bananas, vanilla... what a wonderful-sounding combination... my imagination has no trouble with this recipe at all! It looks nice and 'scoopable' too, and a delicious accompaniment to your caramel-coated brownie (which sounds incredible too and now everyone is waiting eagerly for you to share that recipe!) Good luck to you @heart-to-heart!
Hi @woman-onthe-wing! Thanks so much! I freaked out when I found out about it, I didn't have much time before the closing window and had to improvise but I love icecream and wanted to play in the kitchen with all of you amazing people! Those peanut butter cups I had just made came in super handy. They really made this dish! Actually, I thought it was going to stay soft serve judging from how it turned out and was so surprised that it had taken perfect icecream form! Thanks for encouraging me to do this, I sure enjoyed eating it all ;)
The caramel coated brownie also didn't hurt at all alongside :P
It sounds like you had fun making it as well as eating it! I'm glad. It's great when you can make something using another homemade thing... it's like double-homemadeness! And maybe double-delicious?! I do hope you join in for future rounds... I welcome all creative people and you certainly are @heart-to-heart!
That is very nice, i want to taste that :)
Thank you! I hope you give it a try, it's scrumptious =D

Thanks for checking it out- I hope you give it a try!

This is heavenly recipe yum............rsd & upv πππ
Thank you! I'm a little late seeing this (was traveling) but it was so delicious! Kind of a spur of the moment concoction for the entry, luckily I was writing it down to share, usually I forget and then it's never quite the same again ;)
I hope you get a chance to try it! I'm still needing to make that pad thai of yours!
My pleasure and don't worry about it, we are all busy trying to keep up lol. Spare of the moment recipes are the best, so I definitely have to try it πππ
I'm excited to see what I missed your way! I'll have to come over there and check it out!
Have a lovely week Lena! :)
Thank you I really apreciate to. Wonderful week to you too @heart-to-heartπ
Oh, dear Lord - This sounds as amazing as it looks! I can hardly wait to try this one, although, I will have to wait on the cold brewed coffee secret.
Okay, you stole my heart with this one.
Upvoted
This one was pretttttty good, I have to tell you. Please let me know if you get to try it! It's extra fun because you can also make the PB cups and have some extra for another treat ;) Things got pretty sweet around here last week haha
I'll share it soon, I promise but any coffee will work, just make sure it's cold! ;)
Can't wait to hear your experience with it, it's really easy so it makes it a lot more doable!

Congratulations @heart-to-heart on winning 3rd prize sponsored by @gringalicious! Not only did the ice cream sound gorgeous, but the presentation was gorgeous too. We hope to see more of your wonderful creations in future rounds! :-)
Oh my goodness! Thank you so much @woman-onthe-wing! I'm so excited! It's my first recipe or cooking challenge ever and I was worried about entering so late and putting it together so last minute- wow! I'm overwhelmed :) Thanks again, I will definitely participate more in the future- it was so much fun! Thank you for putting it on! π
Also thank you so much @gringalicious for generously supporting this competition! π
It was a marvellous creation @heart-to-heart and food like yours should be shared with the world... and I'm not flattering, I'm being honest! I'm really glad you're so happy :-)
Wow! Well thank you, I have to show this to my father (an Italian chef) and let him know that vegan, sugar-free, gluten-free foods really can be appreciated ;) We tease each other all of the time about our differences in ingredients.
I was just traveling but I will definitely participate again next round :)
Thanks again for putting this on- it's such a wonderful idea!
I'm really glad you enjoyed taking part @heart-to-heart :-) One of the reasons I love hosting this challenge is how participants bring all kinds and often unusual ingredients into the mix, and we can all learn from each other. For some reason most participants the last few months use very nutritious healthy ingredients, often for specific diets such as paelo, raw foods, ketogenic, no sugar, GF, etc etc etc... I love it!!!
Wow that is amazing! That is exactly what I am trying to promote with my food! I've noticed quite the trend on here, it makes me hungry all the time! ;)
I'll have to keep a look out! I know I keep saying it, but seriously thank you! I can't wait to get involved again soon :) See you soon!
Well I'm delighted to hear such excitment! I too love the fact there's so many people using and promoting good foods for good health... it's really wonderful because in 'real life' here I rarely come across anyone who even uses coconut oil, never mind anything else! See you soon @heart-to-heart, you're always welcome any week you find time to make something :-)
