Do you miss ice cream since going paleo and removing dairy from your diet?? Well if you do here is an alternative that has a texture very similar to ice cream. And not an ounce of dairy involved. Now that the weather is finally starting to warm up this would make a great after dinner treat.

I don’t have a lot to say today unfortunately. I just worked a 28 hour shift so my brain is not functionally at top capacity. Oh the joys of ICU. Technically they aren’t supposed to keep us longer than 26 hours, but they tend to ignore the rules in ICU. There are just so many perks to being a resident.

Have any of you ever worked for more than 24 hours? How do you feel after? I know most of us residents have a “post-call ritual” that we all partake in. Mine usually involves a quick nap (3-4 hours), a good meal, a workout and then an early bed time. Maybe some studying squeezed in there if I have time. Yep there is some real craziness happening over here. But only 5 more ICU call shifts left in my career! Can you tell I am counting down?

Ok I think that is enough ICU rambling for one blog post. Here’s the recipe you are waiting for! Enjoy

Chocolate Raspberry “Ice Cream” with Gelatin

Do you miss ice cream since going paleo and removing dairy from your diet?? Well if you do here is an alternative that has a texture very similar to ice cream. And not an ounce of dairy involved. 

Course Dessert
Cuisine American
Keyword banana ice cream, chocolate nice cream, paleo ice cream
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Freeze 2 hours
Total Time 2 hours 20 minutes
Servings 6 servings
Calories 324 kcal

Ingredients

  • 2 bananas
  • 2 cups rasberries
  • 1 cup coconut butter or cream or concentrate
  • 1/4 cup cacao butter
  • 1 tbsp organic vanilla extract
  • 1 inch sea salt
  • 3 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp gelatin
  • 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup Optional: I don't think this recipe needs it, but if you want it slightly sweeter this is a good addition

Instructions

  1. Place a medium pot on low heat on the stove

  2. Add the bananas, raspberries, coconut butter, cacao butter, vanilla and sea salt and allow to melt together, stirring frequently until everything is melted together and the lumps are removed

  3. Add the cocoa powder and stir until combined

  4. Add the gelatin and stir until combined and the gelatin has dissolved 

  5. Remove from heat, pour into a large bowl and place in the freezer

  6. Freeze for 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring every 30-45 minutes until you have the consistency you desire

  7. Serve and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

NOTE: If you freeze it for too long and it gets completely hard, simply place on the counter at room temperature and allow to thaw for 30-60 minutes. 

NOTE: Store this in the fridge once you are satisfied with the texture. It keeps well in the fridge for days (if it lasts that long)

    Thanks Jennifer! Glad you like the blog 🙂 I buy mine at Community Health Foods (the one down town) in the baking section. You can also order from Vitacost.com which is cheaper but you do have to pay for shipping. Hope that helps!

    Hi Erin! I have recently been put on a vegan diet by my Doctor and will definitely try this. And once, I worked 36 hours straight getting a store ready to open by a surprise deadline. I actually worked worked 90 hours in 5 days. Thank goodness it was not an all the time thing like residents go through! Thanks for the recipe! Jan Miles
