Description

Ingredients

• 2 medium size bananas, ripe but not overripe
• 1 and ⅓ cups unsweetened creamy almond butter
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 and ½ tbsp pure maple syrup
• 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
• ¼ cup unsweetened cream almond butter
• ½ cup Enjoy Life Brand dark chocolate morsels (these are dairy free and soy free)
• ½ tsp pure vanilla extract

Directions

• Prepare an 8 x 4 inch loaf pan or freezer safe container by lining with parchment paper if desired*
• Put the bananas and almond butter in a blender and blend on high until smooth. Add in the almond milk, maple syrup and vanilla and blend again, until combined and creamy but not too long (less blending will prevent air pockets from forming in the ice cream.)
• Pour the mixture into your prepared loaf pan or container and set aside. To make the fudge, melt the chocolate chips in a small microwavable bowl in 15-30 second increments, stirring between each one until just melted.
• Stir the ¼ cup almond butter into the melted chocolate until thick and smooth, then stir in the vanilla.
• With a spoon, take chunks of this fudge mixture and drop into the ice cream mixture (its in the container but hasnt been frozen yet) until you use up most of it or until youre content with the amount in the ice cream.**
• Take plastic wrap and tightly wrap the ice cream, pressing down lightly on the surface to eliminate as much air as possible while it freezes. For best results, freeze for at least 6 hours/overnight.
• Once completely frozen, break the fudge mixture into the ice cream by gently stirring. This will allow you to create the perfect size fudge chunks for you 🙂 Scoop into a bowl and serve right away. Store the leftover ice cream tightly covered with plastic wrap in the freezer. Enjoy!
