Now this isn't exactly one of the most healthy ice-creams, but it is definitely much healthier than some store bought alternatives. The recipe still comprises of banana and coconut milk, though with the addition of cacao powder. There is however the option to add chocolate flakes to this ice-cream, and for this you need to either have vegan chocolate or to make some yourself. For a great raw-vegan chocolate recipe check out Fork and Beans.

Chocolate Ice-Cream

You need:


2 bananas
1/4 cup or more of coconut milk (or another plant-based milk)
2 tbsp cacao powder
OPTIONAL: At least 3 tbsp of melted vegan chocolate

Method:
1. Mix banana, coconut milk and cacao powder in a blender. If it doesn't blend, add more milk.
Pour into a metal tray, cover with cling wrap and place in a freezer.
2. Every 30 minutes whisk the ice-cream mixture until it gets thick and creamy.

OPTIONAL: for the chocolate flakes, drizzle the chocolate on the cold ice-cream still in the tray,

Using the whisk, mix the chocolate into the ice-cream. The chocolate should freeze when it touches the ice-cream, and the whisk will break the chocolate into "flakes". Repeat until desired amount of flakes is in the ice-cream. Let sit in freezer for another 30-45 minutes and serve.

Voila!

N.B. Coconut milk helps make a ice-cream texture, though the result can be a little bit heavy. My favourite banana-chocolate ice-cream is made with almond milk, but usually it is best served as a soft-serve.
