Raw Vegan Grenada Chocolate Nice Cream

My Dear Soul Adventurers,

You know how I am always on the lookout for those healthy desserts that I won't have to feel any guilt about eating. Well, when I add our local chocolate into the mix it pretty much just turns to magic. This year I joined the Grenada Chocolate Fest team and I am almost jumping out of my skin with excitement for 10 days (May 13th to 22nd) of celebrating our Grenadian first class cocoa. To do the ultimate writer "no no" I am about to go right ahead and say...I feel like a kid in a candy shop. Want to read more about the festival? Stay tuned as I blog over at www.grenadachocolatefest.com and follow Grenada Chocolate Fest on Facebook, instagram and twitter. 

Now on to the Nice Cream I have been whipping up in my kitchen. If you have been following me on Instagram (you should if you are not already) you would have seen me post a picture and rave about this delicious creation a few weeks ago. The best part is that it contains no sugar and is made from all local ingredients. Ok that is not completely accurate, the cocoa crunch which I topped it with contains some sugar (but you can leave it out). Nice cream has been making its rounds on the internet, I have tried making it in different ways but the chocolate version is the winner in my books.

Ingredients

6 Bananas
4 Tbl Spoons Grenadian Cocoa Powder
Vanilla Essence
Almond Essence
Cinnamon

Method

1. Cut bananas into slices and freeze overnight ( I say over night, but really just keep them in the freezer until they are frozen)
2. Blend Frozen Banana Slices with all the other ingredients until it forms a smooth paste
3. Top with Caribbean Naturals Cocoa Crunch (optional, really you can top it with whatever you like) 

It is that simple and oh so delicious.
