Healthy Almond Joy Ice Cream

Look how DELICIOUS & CREAMY that looks and it was made WITHOUT an ice cream! When I discovered all the health benefits coconut has to offer I knew I had to make a healthy coconut ice cream to satisfy my sweet tooth. This did the job & then some by offering a bang of nutrients at the same time!

Healthy Almond Joy Ice Cream

Ingredients:

1 can (15 ounce) coconut cream

1 can (15 ounce) coconut milk, regular or light

2/3 cups raw cacao

1/3 cup honey

1 teaspoon vanilla

½ cup of almonds, slivered, toasted

½ cup of grain sweetened chocolate chips

Top with unsweetened coconut flakes, toasted, (optional)

Directions:

Mix ingredients together. Pour in an ice cream maker and use according to directions.

Better yet, I made this without an ice cream maker. I put the mixture into my freezer to chill before putting it in my ice cream maker & I kind of forgot about the time. When I finally remembered I pulled it out of my freezer and it was so dang creamy & yummy!

Top with unsweetened coconut flakes. Enjoy!

(It will eventually get hard in the freezer, but it will turn back to creamy, yumminess if you let it sit out for a little bit before eating.)

Did you know coconut supports thyroid function?!
