Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Banana Nice Cream (Paleo & Vegan)
This Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Banana Nice Cream is made with frozen bananas and filled with chunks of edible cashew flour cookie dough. A healthy homemade alternative for the popular ice cream flavor, but Paleo, Vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free too!
I’ve been wanting to make a nice cream or smoothie bowl or just about anything with frozen bananas for a while now, but I just couldn’t pick what, or even what flavor.
Somehow I decided to go for a nice cream, so there was that one bit down. The flavor part remained tough, so I asked you guys on Insta, and cookie dough won the vote.
Well hey at least I had narrowed it down to 2 options: this or a chocolate peanut butter.
The win margin wasn’t that big though, so I think I’m gonna go for a choco pb soon - why not right?!
