Ice cream is life
I think we can probably all agree that ice cream is pretty amazing. Especially when it’s made without refined sugars, dyes or artificial anything. And you don’t need an ice cream maker to make it. What we might not agree on is which flavor is best. And that’s okay. Variety is the spice of life and this recipe could be easily adapted to make just about any flavor you choose by substituting the mint and chocolate for fresh berries or maybe just some vanilla. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves…let’s talk about this Dairy-free Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream.
Growing up, my dad affectionately referred to Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream as ‘green death’ . It was his least favorite flavor and one I got only when we went out for ice cream on special occasions – which is probably why I still have a thing for it.
No-dyes and no refined sweeteners necessary
This ice cream though is a far cry from the super sugary, artificially dyed Mint Chocolate Chip of my childhood. It’s dairy-free, sweetened with honey and uses spinach to give it that characteristic ‘green death’ color. It’s also egg-free thanks to Vital Proteins Gelatin. The gelatin is the perfect binder and keeps it scoop-able when you use the no-churn method. Of course, if you have an ice cream maker you can use that instead (this is the one I have!)
Cheers to summer and all the healthy sweet treats to come!
