Chocolate Cacao Ice Cream

This ice cream recipe is one of our new favorites. It’s so simple, healthy and delicious. Sweetened only with dates, and of course dairy-free, I think I’ll be serving this one to weekend guests all summer long.

With an ice cream machine, making all kinds of frozen treats becomes completely hands-off – and so much fun!

And if you have a Ninja Creami (or if you are about to take the plunge), I have the BEST NEWS for you!

My friend, Kathy Hester (the undisputed EXPERT on all things Ninja Creami), has created the ONLY whole food plant-based Ninja Creami ebook, AND she’s having a special sale on her ebook right now!!

Either way, join the party!
