Vegan Cookie Dough Ice Cream

Ingredients

For vegan vanilla ice cream:

  • 6frozen bananas
  • 1/4cup (50 g) coconut cream (you can increase the amount of coconut cream if you want a stronger coconut flavour and/or a milder banana flavour, Note 1)
  • 3tbsp (60 g) sweetened condensed coconut milk
  • 1tsp vanilla paste (or 2 tsp vanilla extract)
  • 1 - 2tbsp lemon juice (optional, this prevents the bananas from oxidizing and makes the ice cream more refreshing)

For vegan cookie dough:

  • 1 1/2cups (145 g) almond flour
  • 3tbsp (60 g) sweetened condensed coconut milk
  • 1/8cup + 1 tbsp (40 g) coconut cream (Note 1)
  • 1/4cup chocolate chips (plus extra for assembling the ice cream)

For vegan chocolate fudge sauce:

  • 2oz (60 g) 70%+ dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1/4cup (30 g) cocoa powder
  • 2tbsp (40 g) sweetened condensed coconut milk
  • 1/2cup (120 mL) non-dairy milk (such as almond, soy or oat milk)
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

For vegan vanilla ice cream:

  1. In a food processor or high speed blender, blend the frozen bananas until smooth.
  2. Add the coconut cream, sweetened condensed coconut milk, vanilla paste and lemon juice (optional), and blend until combined and smooth.

For vegan cookie dough:

  1. Combine all cookie dough ingredients except the chocolate chips and mix until the dough comes together – it shouldn't be sticky, but it should hold together well.

If the cookie dough feels too sticky/wet, add more almond flour. If it's too crumbly, add more coconut cream.

  1. Add the chocolate chips and mix until they're evenly distributed within the cookie dough.
  2. Roll balls of the cookie dough (about 1 - 2 teaspoons worth per ball).

To assemble the vegan cookie dough ice cream:

  1. In a freezer-safe container, layer vegan vanilla ice cream with the cookie dough pieces and chocolate chips until you use up all of the ice cream and cookie dough.
  2. Cover the container (with a lid, cling film or aluminum foil) and freeze for a minimum of 8 hours or (preferably) overnight.

For vegan chocolate fudge sauce:

  1. In a saucepan, heat all vegan chocolate fudge sauce ingredients together with mixing, until the chocolate has melted and you get a luscious, glossy, smooth chocolate sauce.
  2. Allow to cool to room temperature.

For serving:

  1. Allow the ice cream to thaw slightly (for about 10 to 15 minutes) at room temperature before serving – this will allow it to be nicely scoopable.
  2. Scoop ice cream into bowls and drizzle (generously) with the vegan chocolate fudge sauce.
  3. Enjoy!

Storage:

  1. The vegan cookie dough ice cream keeps well in an air-tight container in the freezer for about 1 month.
  2. The vegan chocolate fudge sauce keeps well in a closed container in the fridge for about 1 week. Before using, re-heat it briefly in the microwave to room temperature/warm (to make it nicely pourable).
