Serves 4
Ingredients for ice cream balls
- 2 large ripe bananas
- 2 tablespoons granulated monk fruit sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon pink salt
- 4 large Medjool dates
- 2 servings of Nuzest Kids Good Stuff Vanilla Caramel
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 Nuzest Almond Vanilla protein bar
- 1/2 cup coconut cream (refrigerated overnight)
Ingredients for chocolate coating
- • 1/3 cup coconut oil
- 1/3 melted cacao butter
- 1/2 cup dark cacao powder
- 3 tablespoons monk fruit syrup
- 1 tablespoon Nuzest Clean Lean Chocolate protein
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Add the sliced bananas, monk fruit sugar, salt, dates, vanilla extract and Nuzest Kids Good Stuff Vanilla Caramel to a non-stick baking tray and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Once baked, set aside and allow to cool.
- Once the mixture is cooled, add it to a high-speed blender with the coconut cream and chopped Nuzest Almond Vanilla protein bar. Blend until a thick, smooth consistency is attained.
- Pour the mixture into a silicone mould (any shape will work) and place it in the freezer for two hours.
- To make the dark chocolate coating, mix the coconut oil, cacao butter, cacao powder, monk fruit syrup, Nuzest Clean Lean Chocolate protein and vanilla extract together in a bowl.
- Remove the ice cream balls from the freezer and coat them with the dark chocolate mixture. Place the coated ice cream balls on a non-stick tray and place in the freezer for ten minutes to allow the chocolate to set before serving.
