10 Healthy Ice Cream Recipes!

Who doesn’t love an ice cream on a hot summer’s day?

Unfortunately, the commercial ice cream you buy can be truly horrendous. Just start looking at labels and you will see sugar, sugar and lots of sugar, hydrogenated vegetable oils and additives galore (some even use msg!). Urrrk!

Truth is, it’s pretty easy to make your own ice cream at home. You can turn an unhealthy treat into a healthy treat!

We invested in a good Cuisinart ice cream machine and have loved every minute of it! Gourmet ice-cream is cheap as chips when you make it yourself. Don’t pay $10 for half a litre! You can also control exactly what ingredients go in to your ice cream – use organic ingredients and healthier sugar substitutes like honey, maple syrup, rapadura or coconut sugar.

A thermomix or food processor will often do the job too for some of these recipes, so you don’t even need an ice cream maker. Have a go at whipping up some soft fruit that needs to be used up and adding some sort of liquid – juice, milk, milk substitute or coconut water. Whack it into containers and into the freezer!

Here are ten totally delicious and healthy ice cream recipes to get you started.
