๐๐ซโ๐จ STEEMIT CULINARY CHALLENGE # 35: DELICIOUS Choco-Banana-Mocha-Peanut-Butter-Cup-Icecream (that's good for you!)๐๐ซโ๐จ
Do you like chocolate? Bananas? Coffee? Peanut Butter? How about ice-cream? This is for you! ๐๐ซโ๐จ
How's a banana-y smooth, creamy chocolatey-mocha, salty peanut-butter, melt-in-your-mouth, make you eat it all in one-sitting but it's OK because it's made with healthy ingredients, sound?
Good, I thought you'd say that! (Did I mention vegan and sugar-free yet?) I have got you covered! You can even put this stuff with a raw, vegan, caramel coated brownie (I'll share the recipe later๐) if you want to give your taste-buds a real out of this world experience! ๐
This is my first entry for steemitculinary challenge, hosted by @woman-onthe-wing. I hope you enjoy the recipe! It was inspired by my peanut butter cups I made to share with you all the other day!
First off, let's take a look at the ingredients!
(I made about 12 small, 1-scoop servings)
- 3-5 small, frozen bananas
- 1/4 cup organic soy milk
- 2 tbs black cold-brew/chilled coffee (don't worry, I'll share that secret with you another time!)
- 1 handful of dates (about 6-7)
- 1 handful of almonds (about 8-10)
- 1 small piece of vanilla bean or 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 frozen peanut butter cups (see my vegan, sugar free recipe here)
Ok so now that we have the key players ready for action, let's place it all in a food processor/blender!
(I had to switch from my small attachment to my larger blender and add in the peanut butter cups then due to the size of my processor)
Blend away my foodie friends! Once it's a nice consistency, it will be cold from the frozen bananas and peanut-butter cups.
If you're impatient like me, you can eat it straight away like that as a delicious, creamy soft-serve! Don't forget to share! Some might even get up in your face asking for a lick! ๐๐
Or if you like the traditional scoop-edition, you can put it in trays like mine seen here, (these little dishes work amazing to give the perfect scoop!) in the freezer for a little while to get it extra cold and turn into a hard, scoopable ice-cream!
Give it some time to harden (I left it overnight), place it on a plate with a brownie and life just got pretty dang delicious if you ask me ;)
I hope you enjoy this as much as I did... I just can't get enough!
Sending love through food!
XO,

OK, stop already!!!! I am up still working and now I need a snack!!!! That looks absolutely amazing!! I obviously cannot make that this late at night (or early in the morning for that matter) .... I guess I could have some watermelon - But I don't want watermelon, I want what she is having, a scoop of Choco-Banana-Mocha-Peanut Butter Cut Ice Cream!!!! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe, I am for sure going to try this, possibly this weekend.. Love you my Steemit Friend.. SUNSHINE247
Haha oh no! I wish I could share some with you my new friend! It's actually really easy to make, you can just save it for later and then it'll be extra special ;)
Let me know how it goes for you! You sure do love your watermelon, don't you! haha ;)
Hope the rest of your shift is awesome!

I just saw yours- yum :)
Thanks Chef, I am obsessed with chocolate, can you tell? ;)
Looking at your figure, it does not seem so! me I am addicted to choco infact!
Well cacao is just a bean in its raw form :) So it's actually very healthy and doesn't pack on any pounds (I know because I eat pounds and pounds of it) :P
K so I'm making this just need to add bacon mmmmmmmmm
Hmmm... bacon icecream? I mean... if you gotta, you gotta ;)
Now it's stuck in your head isn't it mmmmmmmm bacon

A delicious ice cream recipe that qualifies as both breakfast and dessert! Sweetness from dates, soft serve texture from bananas, salty creaminess from peanut butter and coffee flavor for wake-up! Magically combination! Lovely presentation. Good luck!
You can pretty much just eat it all day, it's an everything meal and without any guilt about it ;)
Thanks so much, I seem to have eaten it all already :P
Hope you try it out!
Have a wonderful week!

This is the best healthy ice-cream recipes I can think of. Although it's ice-cream, It's rich in macros, like dates, almonds, PB, banana. The sugar that dates contain is natural, so no harm to your body.
You solved a big problem of mine. Thanks for the sweet tooth.
Without wasting time, I'll try this.
Hey! I love your input, exactly what I am going for with my recipes, nothing artificial or processed yet not sacrificing taste one bit! I love making things that I used to crave healthier ;)
I'm happy you noticed and would love to hear if you end up whipping it up!

Well hello there @heart-to-heart, what a super first entry for the Steemit Culinary Challenge! I have to say it sounds absolutely amazing with flavours of coffee, peanut butter, bananas, vanilla... what a wonderful-sounding combination... my imagination has no trouble with this recipe at all! It looks nice and 'scoopable' too, and a delicious accompaniment to your caramel-coated brownie (which sounds incredible too and now everyone is waiting eagerly for you to share that recipe!) Good luck to you @heart-to-heart!
Hi @woman-onthe-wing! Thanks so much! I freaked out when I found out about it, I didn't have much time before the closing window and had to improvise but I love icecream and wanted to play in the kitchen with all of you amazing people! Those peanut butter cups I had just made came in super handy. They really made this dish! Actually, I thought it was going to stay soft serve judging from how it turned out and was so surprised that it had taken perfect icecream form! Thanks for encouraging me to do this, I sure enjoyed eating it all ;)
The caramel coated brownie also didn't hurt at all alongside :P
It sounds like you had fun making it as well as eating it! I'm glad. It's great when you can make something using another homemade thing... it's like double-homemadeness! And maybe double-delicious?! I do hope you join in for future rounds... I welcome all creative people and you certainly are @heart-to-heart!
Oh no...@heart-to-heart, you make me hungry now. That's yummy. But I'm fasting now. Anyway thanks for sharing:)
Oh @honey-pot, I am sorry to make you see this while fasting! Maybe after ;)
No need to be sorry @heart-to-heart, I'm fine. Is nice to see your post and all the foods you share. Have a nice day ;)
Thank you :) I will keep sharing away then (except when I am fasting because that is torture) ;)
Have a great week @honey-pot!
