We all know that pastels are a huge trend at the moment and mint is definitely the most trendish pastel color. Mint isn't only one of my favorite ice cream flavors, it's also a great color to compliment everything and make it look fresh and easygoing. Mint items are good to do color blocking, but they also look great with other natural colors or gold and silver jewelry.
I wish you a fresh day!
Chocolate Chip Mint Ice Cream
Ingredients for the ice cream base:
- 2 cups almond milk
- 2 cups of fresh, young Thai coconut meat
- 1/3 cup raw agave nectar
- 1 Tbsp raw yacon syrup
- 1 Tbsp raw honey
- 2 tsp vanilla extract or 1 vanilla bean pod (using only the seeds scrapped from the inside of the bean)
- 2 Tbsp raw cold pressed coconut oil
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 – 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup fresh mint leaves, de-stemed
Preparation:
- Put all vanilla ice cream ingredients in the blender ( except chocolate chips ) and blend for 3 minutes.
- Blend until nice and creamy. If you want more of a green color you can add a dash of spiralina at a time till you reach the desired color. Just be careful to not add to much because you don’t want to alter the flavor.
- If you have an ice cream maker, after mixture is blended, chill for about 1 hour in the freezer and then pour into your ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
- If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour into a Tupperware container and place in the freezer. Be sure to stir it a few times an hour until frozen.
- Just before your ice cream is about to freeze, add in the chocolate chips.
