What's your flavor, tell me what's your flavor ooooh... mine's mint chocolate chip. Come eat some with me!
Now that we've got a little Craig David stuck in our heads let's get that nice cream ready for dessert (if you're too young to know the lines to this song you should look it up because it was HUGE back in the teenage years for my generation- it's super catchy and great for the background of making nice cream!) π
I am very fortunate to live in a vegan-mecca, Bali. We have veganized restaurants all over the place and they are incredible. World renown, IG-licious, people traveling from all over to visit, places.
So, I spend a lot of time in these places and my ideas are always stirring. They have cinnamon nice cream but no mint choco?
NO way. We HAVE to fix that!
What about people like my parents who say to me:
"We don't have a vegan option in our town!"
AHHH THE HORROR! I took it upon myself to make an easy recipe so there could be vegan mint chocolate nice cream abounding!
Here it is! =D
What you need:
- 1 cup coconut cream (I make my own from coconuts)
- 2 frozen banana
- 1/4 cup raw cacao powder
- 1 bunch fresh mint leaves
- 1/2 tbs maple syrup
What to do:
- Put all ingredients into a blender and blend together until smooth.
- Pour mixture into container (I use silicon baking trays because you can just push the treat out when it's ready!)
- You can garnish your bars with mint leaves if you would like some pretty flare!
- Freeze until hardened.
- Top with chocolate and enjoy!
Yes! Really that easy!
Just let those bad boys freeze and take form to their molds and once they set, you are ready to eat!
You know, I really believe we can heal ourselves through food and it is my mission in life to create and inspire delicious, mouth watering creations that are beneficial and packed full of plant based goodies to fuel our bodies, minds and lives! I hope you enjoy this good-for-you creation! Let me know how it goes!
Want a different flavor? Let me know your favorites and I'll whip some up!
Just a friendly reminder to all that I am hosting a very vegan contest click here to see the post explaining how to get involved! Anyone can enter and anyone can win as long as you follow the rules! π
Until next time!
Sending you love through food,
XO,
Those could be sold they look so good!
Haha thank you :) Maybe one day ;)
Congrats, I have featured this delicious recipe in my weekly vegan recipe roundup - highlighting my favourite recipes on #steemit this week. Keep crushing it, I can't wait to try this out!
Awww this slipped through my radar! Thank you so much for the feature! How exciting :) I love your initiative to highlight vegan foods! Check my tag #veganwednesday for some great recipes from some amazing vegan steemians. The community there is full of great stuff! <3
Haha, nothing is unfixable!
Thanks for the treat for the eyes. :D
CU,
Chris
Hahaha not in my mind, solution to all ;P Usually it involves something to do with food, whatever it is <3
that's the spirit! :D haha
I can't believe how easy this is! I will definitely be trying this :) it will be a nice summer treat
I know right? I think if we all knew how simple it could be that we might actually do it ourselves ;) I make all kinds of 'ice cream' treats but most of them are quick and easy, put int he freezer and come back to deliciousness <3

Oh wow, so cool :) Thanks @resteemy <3
Art in food is for the soul and the stomach! awesome piece of work.
I love that :) I always try to make my food art, it brings extra happiness to the recipe <3
this must be really delicious, i do really love chocolate.
Mmmm they are I promise! I love chocolate too, I am always making chocolate everything ;)
This is so beautiful, and would you say more minty then chocolatey?
Hmmm... I had to think about that for a minute. I used what I thought was a lot of mint but behind the coconut milk and chocolate it's still quite subtle, not overpowering. What I usually do is put chocolate chunks in instead of the powder but I like it this way too, add it to picnic list <3
Awesome recipe, I love what delicious dishes can be created by so simple and healthy ingredients βΊοΈ Bali must offer so much inspiration for new recipe ideas, I am super excited to travel there this year! As a raw vegan, restaurant options are mostly quite limited, but I can imagine that Bali is so different in that regard π
It's true =D Once the inspiration is there, it all just starts spiraling into action with more and more ideas :) I think the biggest thing is getting used to learning these healthy ingredients and replacing them with the traditional ones!
You're coming to Bali this year? When? You'll love it! It's truly a vegan paradise! There are so many places to eat! I'll give you the whole scoop for when you visit <3
Definitely, many people just don't have the knowledge how to choose and use the healthy stuff. Yes, I don't know yet when that will be though. My boyfriend and I started traveling the world a few weeks ago and are currently exploring Thailand. Indonesia is definitely on our list, we might come there around September. That sounds lovely, thank you so much :)
What an amazing easy vegan recipe! Looks super delicious - thank you so much β₯ Upvoted and resteemed :)
Hey you are most welcome @isshappy :) It's super easy because those kinds are my favorites ;) The best thing is you can just follow the same method with different flavors and it's just as easy :) <3 Enjoy them!
I'll definitely give it a try, thanks so much β₯
I am definitely going to try this recipe! We do a lot of frozen banana soft serves and I love that I can customize with so many flavor options. I bet the coconut cream just adds to the silkiness and decadence! Yum!
Recently, I posted one of my kids' favorite frozen treats, that is also very quick to make- Monkey Bites is what my kids named them.
With your touch, is there anything you can't make happen? This is why i prefer your touch rather than another's. Don't worry, i won't add this to the ever growing list πππ
Hahaha well, just don't put me too high up on that horse..... I just really like food ;)
Hahahaha and i just really like you.
They look so good, and they are so easy to make! π€€ I think I will whip some up over the weekend. βοΈ
Make more than I did! Mine went away too fast ;) <3
I simply NEED to make these!! :D They sound and look fantastic!!
I strongly suggest it! They are so easy, no reason why not to! Plus they make a delicious dessert, snack or breakfast ;P
Ohhh! Looks very yummy these chocolate bars! My husband he likes so much chocolate! I like the chocolate recipes.
You should make them @creativewoman! They're so easy! <3 You guys must have so many coconuts! You could also make plain coconut milk bars with sweetener <3
Seriously I only buy chocolates and ice-creams ,I don't know it's this easy to make
Thanks for this!
I was busy yesterday so I couldn't read your post. Gonna go there right now. I know it's gonna be educative as this one
It can be really easy to make and much healthier than the store bought ones :) I'm happy to be able to share with you!
=D
I forgot to ask in my last comment, what the name of that Craig David sing you were listen to maybe I can get it online
I like his music
It's called "What's your flavor?" =D it's very catchy haha tell me if you listen to it!
It looks pretty easy and delicious! I like desserts which I don't have to bake:) Good job!
I actually don't have an oven so I can't bake even if I wanted to ;) I am loving the raw (easy) desserts though, they are delicious <3
LOVE how quick and easy it is! I've always been a fan of raw vegan diets. Gonna try it tomorrow! :)
Name of my game ;) The easier it is, the more likely it'll happen ;) <3
It look's delicious.
Oh my goodness, this recipe sounds amazing! I can't wait to try it! We all love chocolate and we all love ice cream. A real blessing to have a healthy choice! I'll be following you now, excited for future recipes! Thank you
Hi @birdsinparadise :) How wonderful! I love making my own treats and food in general so I can make sure I am getting healthy ingredients that are actually good for me! :) I love sharing recipes so I am excited to see what you end up trying <3
Oh my goodness.................I am on my way, lol
I'm waiting, you just say the world ;)
I wish it was that easy................but, it will be soon XOXO
Art in food.
this must be really delicious.
I love both so even better when they are combined ;)
You've done it again! So much chocolatey temptation going on π
I had to give #veganwednesday something delicious to stand on ;)
oh.my.gosh. YUM! Large ice trays are on my list because this looks amazing... and I feel like you could do so many things with the idea too! π
Oh definitely! I have a couple of different ones for fun treats like this! I like the silicon ones because you can squeeze whatever is in them out of them :)
