As a Holistic Nutritionist, I’ve done relatively well sheltering my daughter from the world that is “conventional food”. She’s never eaten candy, and raisins are the best treats ever!
But somehow, this past summer, she learned of ice cream – and politely requested I make her some. So, I got my creativity flowing in the kitchen and threw together this fantastically simple, yet crowd-pleasing Chocolate Coconut Ice Cream.
I was reminded of this recipe now that the beautiful weather is here this year. So, I decided to get it up on the blog for all of you to enjoy at your special occasions as well!
You will want a quality blender for this one. Let me know what you think when you try this recipe!
