Blueberry Banana Ice-Cream

After making Strawberry Rhubarb Gelato the other day, and discovering how easy it was, I decided to try a different flavour.  I only used coconut cream this time instead of coconut milk, to see if it would come out less icy - it did, a little!

I love how healthy and tasty this ice-cream is and the fact that it is vegan and lactose free means that anyone can enjoy it .... and you don't have to save it for dessert!

Blueberry Banana Ice-cream

Ingredients

1 cup fresh blueberries
2 small bananas - broken into small pieces
2 x 160g cans coconut cream - (You could use 2 x 400g cans of coconut milk, but only use the thick coconut cream from the top).


Place blueberries, banana and coconut cream into a blender. Blend until smooth.

Pour the mixture into a container and place in the freezer for approx 3 hours, or until it starts to freeze.

Transfer mixture back to a blender. Blend again, then pour mixture back into a container and refreeze overnight.

Enjoy!

Chia Chocolate Pudding

This vegan pudding has the consistency of tapioca, with the taste of chocolate.  It is the simplest of puddings to make and tastes delicious, but doesn't photograph very well, so you'll have to trust me! :)


Ingredients

4 tbs (1/3 cup) chia seeds
2 x 400ml cans coconut milk
2 tbs cocoa powder
2 tbs agave syrup


Whisk all the ingredients together in a large bowl.  Refrigerate.

It will be ready to eat in an hour or so.

Note:  If you are not vegan, you can replace the agave with honey, or any other sweet syrup.

Enjoy!
