No Sugar Added Chocolate Ice Cream & Fudge Chunks (high protein/dairy-free/processed sugar-free)


Do you have a New Years Resolution to eat less sugar? I love creating dessert recipes that use no-to-little sugar. This is one of those! I’ve been making this ice cream and and fudge chunk dessert for about 5 years now, and it’s still one of my favorites.

Happy New Years Resolutions!

CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM (NO PROCESSED SUGAR)


2-3 frozen bananas
1-2 scoops chocolate protein powder, about 1/2 cup (I love the Orgain brand)
2 teaspoons cocoa powder
1/4 milk of choice

Directions:

  1. Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
  2. Stop periodically to stir.
  3. Pour out of blender into a freezer-safe bowl. Freeze for about 20 minutes, until more firm.
  4. When ready to eat, remove from the freezer and scoop into a bowl.
  5. NOTE: Add in a spoonful of nut butter if you want it more creamy.

Toppings: chocolate protein fudge chunks (see below), cocoa nibs


FUDGE BARS/CHUNKS (NO PROCESSED SUGAR / HIGH PROTEIN)


1 cup peanut butter or almond butter (I love the Adams brand)
1 cup peanut butter powder, mixed with a little water to make a paste (I use PB2 Foods)
3/4 cup honey or agave
2 1/2 cups oats (quick or rolled-quick makes them less chunky)
2-3 scoops protein powder, between 1/2 to 1 cup (I love the Orgain brand)
1/8 cup milk of choice or water (add more if needed)


Directions:

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine nut butters and honey/agave and warm in microwave for about 30 seconds. Stir together well.
  2. Pour nut butter/honey mixture into a large mixing bowl.
  3. Add in the remaining ingredients and stir very well. Keep mixing until combined. (Add more milk or water, if a little dry.)
  4. Pour into a 9×13 pan, lined with parchment paper on bottom.
  5. Pop into the freezer to chill for about 30 minutes.
  6. Remove from freezer and cut into squares (cut some into cubes for chocolate ice cream dessert).
  7. Store these in a gallon zippie, in the freezer.
