Banana Chocolate Chunk Tahini Ice Cream Recipe
If you are craving something sweet but want to stay off the rich stuff, this is your recipe. It is simple, delicious and it will definitely hit the spot! It is also rich in omega-3 fatty acids and calcium. The cinnamon will help keep your blood sugar stable.
Ingredients
- 2 frozen bananas*
- ¼-½ cup unsweetened non-dairy milk
- (almond, coconut, oat, soy, etc.)
- 4 Medjool dates, pitted
- 2 tbsp tahini
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- Pinch of kosher salt
- ¼ cup pecans
- 50 g dark chocolate, chopped up
Instructions
- 1
Place the liquid in the blender first, then add everything else to the blender except the chocolate and blend until smooth. (I use my tamper to make sure everything gets pushed down.) Remember, there is not a lot of liquid in this, so you will need to give the blender a little assistance.

Scoop mixture out of the blender and into a parchment lined container. Stir in the chocolate and freeze for 20-30 minutes before serving.

Scoop and enjoy! Serves

*When my bananas are on their last legs (lots of spots but not black), I cut them into pieces (about 6 pieces per banana), place them on a parchment lined tray and throw them in the freezer. When the pieces are frozen, I place them in bags, 3 pieces per bag, totalling a half- banana serving per bag. Then I can use them in smoothies or for this treat. Freezing them in half-banana servings makes it very usable!
Tips & Storage
- How to Store
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week depending on the ingredients.
- Can I Freeze This?
- Many baked desserts freeze well for up to 2 months. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and then foil to prevent freezer burn.
- Baking Tip
- Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature before starting unless the recipe specifies otherwise. This ensures better mixing and a more even bake.

Italian Lemon Ricotta Cheesecake with Blackberry Coulis
An Italian cheesecake is typically made with ricotta cheese. It is not overly sweet and slightly drier than a traditional cheesecake. This cake is best made the day before you want to serve it. The Blackberry Coulis really adds a nice touch. You can use frozen raspberries if you can find blackberries.

Wildberry Pie Oat Bars
I really do love anything berry but especially when they come guilt free. These decadent bars are refined sugar-free, gluten-free, vegan and incredibly delicious. They are not too sweet, just the way I like them and a great power snack. Feel free to make just blueberry or raspberry bars by subbing frozen or fresh raspberries or blueberries.
