Vegan Cookie Dough Ice Cream

This dessert is homemade, vegan, high protein, and delicious! It doesn’t get much better than that.

I made this ice cream for the first time after I discovered how wonderful dates are for satisfying my sweet tooth! I’m always looking for ways to add chickpeas to my diet because of all the health benefits, and dates should’ve been right there with them the whole time. Dates are high in fiber, antioxidants, iron, and more! This recipe is a wonderful example of how they can also be a great natural sweetener. Plus, it has chickpeas and protein powder, so I can eat this as my post-workout snack… right?

Ingredients:

• 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1/2 cup dates, pitted
• 1/4 cup nut butter
• 1 cup non-dairy milk
• 2 tbsp vegan vanilla protein powder
• 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips

Method:

• Combine the dates and milk in a high-powered blender and blend until well broken up.
• Add the chickpeas, nut butter, and protein powder, and blend until smooth.

• Transfer to a freezer-safe container, and fold in chocolate chips.
• Freeze for 2-4 hours.

Serve with vegan whipped cream and more chocolate chips. Enjoy & share!
