Ben and Jerry’s Chunky Monkey ice cream has been my all time favorite ice cream since my preteen years. The first few bites are downright delicious but if I eat more than a small bowl I get this yucky feeling in my gut, no, not lactose intolerance – but guilt! The amount of calories in a tiny pint of Ben and Jerry’s would make any one feel sick to their stomach. I thought there had to be an easier way so I figured out how to make my own healthy chunky monkey ice cream recipe and I’m pretty happy with the results! It’s SO easy (and doesn’t require an ice cream maker)!
Ingredients:
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1/4 cup almond milk
- 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp honey
- dash of sea salt
Place ingredients in food processor and blend until smooth. Put in a sealed tupperware bowl and place in freezer for a couple hours. Once you scoop up your bowl, use chocolate chips and walnuts to garnish, just like the real thing! It’s also yummy with cacaoa nibs and strawberries.
I’m off to make another batch! I hope you’ll give this healthy Chunky Monkey Ice Cream Recipe a try – you’ll be glad you did 🙂
Yum! I love that I can enjoy the taste of Chunky Monkey ice cream without the dairy! Thanks for the recipe!
