1. Strawberry Basil
- 2 cups fresh strawberries
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 tbsp honey
- Handful of fresh basil
Blend, freeze, and churn. The basil adds an herbal twist that’s refreshing and unique.
2. Chocolate Avocado Mousse Ice Cream
- 2 ripe avocados
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 1 cup almond milk
Creamy, rich, and full of healthy fats—without dairy.
3. Classic Vanilla Custard
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup cream
- 4 egg yolks
- ½ cup sugar (or to taste)
- 1 vanilla bean or 2 tsp extract
Heat the milk until there are little bubbles around the edge of the pan.
Meanwhile, separate the eggs, freezing the egg whites in an ice cube tray for other projects. Whisk the egg yolks and the sugar in a separate bowl.
Once the milk is at heat, pour about a ¼ cup of it into the egg yolks, continuing to whisk. This warms the yolk mixture so that it doesn’t cook. It doesn’t take much. Pour all of the eggs into the milk mixture.
Mix in the vanilla flavoring and place the mixture in the refrigerator to chill it.
When you’re ready, put the resulting mixture into an ice cream maker and enjoy the result!
4. High-Protein, Dairy-Free Banana Base
- 2 ripe bananas, frozen
