Nutty Date Ice Cream with Raw Choc Chunks

Serves 8 Prep Time 5 hours   Cook Time 10 minutes   Rated:

I love ice cream. It goes right back to childhood and my dad who used to take me on secret ice cream trips, just him and me seeking out ice cream from haunts throughout Melbourne, back when ice cream was not even a thing!

This is not ice cream. But it is Nice cream, created for the dairy free amongst us who miss a good scoop of the cold stuff. This is sugar free, gluten free, dairy free, decadent, rich and yummy. It does melt quite quickly, be warned.

Nevertheless, I think you will enjoy it a lot! Now off you go and make the Raw Chocolate first! (or just use 70% or more dark chocolate from Callebaut. It is also dairy free and not far off sugar free.)
