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.
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
-
Place a medium pot on low heat on the stove
-
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
-
Add the cocoa powder and stir until combined
-
Add the gelatin and stir until combined and the gelatin has dissolved
-
Remove from heat, pour into a large bowl and place in the freezer
-
Freeze for 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring every 30-45 minutes until you have the consistency you desire
-
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)
