Mint-Cacao Coconut Ice Cream

Summer is synonymous with cold treats. Have you ever tried to make your own ice cream? Were you concerned by the amount of processed salt, sugar and perhaps flavours that you needed?

Here is a delicious recipe for homemade ice cream that uses natural ingredients, but doesn't hold back on taste.

This recipe may also challenge you to visit an organic market or health food store in search of ingredients you may not have in your kitchen. This adventure will be well worth the trip. Look for foods that you haven’t tried but look interesting to you. Summer is great for exploring the tastes of fresh locally grown foods that are in season.

Mint-Cacao Coconut Ice Cream

You will need:

• 2 cans of organic coconut milk
• 1/4 cup vanilla rice milk
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 2 tbsp fresh stevia leaves (only the fresh leaves or else leave it out!)
• 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves (or you can use a few drops of peppermint oil)
• 1-2 tbsp Ormus Super Greens (it has a minty flavour)
• 1/4 cup cacao nibs

Directions:

1. Place all the ingredients except the cacao nibs in a blender and blend until smooth, creamy, and green.
2. If you have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture in and begin to churn, adding the cacao nibs after a few minutes.
3. If you don’t have an ice cream maker, freeze the mixture in a large bowl for about an hour, then remove and stir in cacao (so they don’t all sink to the bottom).
4. Continue to freeze for another hour or two (depending on the consistency you like).
5. ENJOY!
