Healthy Cookies and Cream Ice Cream
Healthy Cookies 'n' Cream Ice Cream?? YES! Dreams DO come true! This sweet, creamy, addictive ice cream is refined sugar free, high protein, and gluten free.
Ingredients
- 24oz (3 cups) Plain, Nonfat Greek Yogurt
- one 13.5oz can Light Coconut Milk
- 192g (¾ cup) Homemade Oreo Cookie Butter
- 1½ tsp Vanilla Creme-Flavored Stevia Extract
- ¾ tsp Xanthan Gum
- ⅛ tsp Salt
Instructions
- Freeze your ice cream maker bowl for 24+ hours (I used my KitchenAid ice cream maker attachment).
- In a large blender, add the yogurt, coconut milk, cookie butter, and stevia extract. Blend until completely smooth.
- While blending, slowly add in the xanthan gum, then add the salt. Puree until fully incorporated.
- Churn the ice cream according to your ice cream makers' instructions. Scoop the ice cream into a freezer-proof container, cover, and freeze until it's the texture you prefer. If frozen solid, the best method to thaw is to place the ice cream in the fridge for a few hours (this way, the entire ice cream is scoopable, unlike thawing the ice cream on the counter, where only the edges will be scoopable).
- Scoop, serve, and enjoy!
