Partake Double Chocolate Chip Cookies & Nice Cream

Ingredients

For the double chocolate chip cookie nice cream:

  • 1 1/2 cups coconut cream
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup, honey, or agave syrup
  • 3/8 cup cocoa powder (go with dark cocoa powder for a richer flavor)
  • 3 medium frozen bananas
  • A heavy handful of Double Chocolate Chip cookies from Partake Foods (add in as many cookies as you’d like depending on how many cookie chunks you’d like swirled into your nice cream)

For the chocolatey, sweet superfood sauce:

  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
  • 2 - 3 tbsp maple syrup, honey, or agave syrup
  • 3/8 cup cocoa powder (dark cocoa powder for a stronger chocolate taste)

Optional Nice Cream Toppings:

Instructions

For the Double Chocolate Chip cookie nice cream:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the coconut cream, maple syrup (or agave/honey) and cocoa powder until smooth and free of any cocoa powder clumps.
  2. Using a high powered blender or food processor, add in the cookies, pulse until crumbly (but not entirely decimated-you want some larger cookie chunks in there).
  3. Next, add in your frozen bananas to the blender. Blend until creamy. 
  4. Add the chocolate, coconut cream mixture into the food processor or blender and blend until everything is smooth and creamy. It’s best to do a taste test here to increase the sweet factor if necessary (with a bit more syrup/honey).
  5. Pour the chocolate nice cream mix into a freezer-safe container and let freeze for a minimum of 6 - 8 hours.
    *For a more creamy nice cream, stir the mixture every 1 - 2 hours while it freezes.

For the chocolatey, sweet superfood sauce:

  1. Stir together all of the chocolate sauce ingredients until it’s silky smooth. Again, adjust the sweetness as needed based on taste preference.

Serving up your Double Chocolate Chip Nice Cream!

Dollop a hefty scoop of the nice cream into either a bowl or onto an ice cream cone. Then drizzle those glorious treats with the chocolate sauce, making sure to get every nook and cranny covered with this crave-crushing creation. Then top it all off with a sprinkle of cookie crumbles and a pinch of coconut flakes (great idea if you like to take your toppings over the top!)
