Healthy Chocolate Ice-Cream

Makes 4 scoops

Ingredients:

1. 1 fresh and ripe avocado pitted
2. 2 frozen banana in slices
3. 5 frozen strawberries (make sure that the big ones are sliced in half)
4. 2-3 TBS cacao powder
5. 1/2 tsp vanilla powder

6. 2 TBS hazelnut butter

7. 3-5 dried dates pitted

Directions:

1. Blend all ingredients in a high-speed blender (if you are using a Magimix blender, use the dessert program and stir with the spatula).

2. Scoop it out using an ice-cream scoop on a serving dish.

3. Sprinkle chopped almonds and chocolate chips (optional) and enjoy :-)

Additional Information:

Adding the avocado makes it more creamy and ice-cream like. Adding the frozen strawberries prevent it from melting, helps to make it firm and gives it a deep chocolate brown color. Otherwise, the color will look a bit dull due to the avocado.

Personal Journal:

I am experimenting to make healthy chocolate ice-cream for Baby FECS and made this today. Little FECS tried it and gave it a thumbs up. I haven't serve it to Baby FECS yet.
