Healthy Chocolate Ice Cream (No Refined Sugar!)
Creamy and rich and no-guilt indulgence! This ice cream contains good fat, fiber, and natural sweetener — all from real foods.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup rolled oats
1/3 cup nuts (cashews and almonds mix)
1/2 cup soft pitted dates (about 7–8)
1 cup makhanas (fox nuts)
2–3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
2 to 2½ cups warm low-fat or skimmed milk
1 tsp instant coffee (optional – mix with 1 tsp lukewarm water or steep in milk for 10–15 minutes)
Optional: chopped dark chocolate pieces for added richness
Instructions: Soak the base:
Mix rolled oats, nuts, makhanas, and dates in warm milk. Soak them for 10–15 minutes to soften.
Blend it smooth:
Put everything (soaked ingredients and milk) into a blender.
Add cocoa powder and the coffee mixture (if using).
Blend until super smooth — this is the critical step for a creamy, ice-cream-like texture.
Optional upgrade –
Choco chunks: Add some diced dark chocolate or cocoa nibs for texture and extra chocolatiness.
Freeze:
Pack mixture into a freezer-safe container.
Seal and freeze for 4–6 hours or until firm—optimal texture is achieved when stirred once after 2 hours to prevent iciness.
Serve & enjoy:
Softening permitted when left out at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with cocoa powder, crushed nuts, or nut butter drizzle!
Tips
For a vegan option, replace with plant-based milk (e.g., almond or oat).
Add less or more milk to get a thicker or lighter consistency.
You can lightly toast makhanas before soaking for a stronger flavor.
