Summer is well on its way and with it the promise of plenty of sunshine… and plenty of ice cream! If you are looking for a healthier ice cream alternative or avoiding dairy then may I present my double chocolate cookie dough “nice” cream. This ice cream recipe is easy to whip together and even comes kiddie approved, my littlies loved it!
Not only is this a dairy free ice cream but it is also free from gluten and refined sugar. I have added coconut oil to give help give it that creamy texture – you would never guess that it contained no milk or cream! The ice cream is crammed with nuggets of chocolate cookie dough, which also happens to be gluten, egg and dairy free and sweetened with raw honey.
I am headed up to Jozi a little later today for a fun foodie event. Keep an eye out on Twitter and Facebook for all the details! In the meantime, check out the recipe below to see how easy it is to make your own home made cookie dough nice cream. I scream, you scream, we all scream for “nice” cream!

This sounds amazing! Defs going to try it for the girls. I might have to cheat (bananas) and have some myself! We often make berry ‘nice cream’ and banana on its own but this takes it to a whole other level…yum! 🙂
