Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Place your coconut milk, cacao butter, liquid stevia syrup (or other sweetener), and vanilla powder into a heavy bottomed pan, gently whisk the ingredients and place onto a medium heat until almost at boiling point. Reduce to a low heat and simmer gently for roughly 30 minutes until the mixture has thickened enough to evenly coat the back of a spoon. Leave the mixture to cool for 5 minutes before placing into the freezer for a further 10-15 minutes to cool completely.
  2. In the bowl of your food processor combine your banana and lemon juice. Process until smooth. Remove the cooled ice cream base from the freezer and begin to pour down your feed tube whilst the processor is running. Then add the fine Himalyan pink salt, ground turmeric, and xanthan gum. Process until all of the ingredients have fully combined. You may want to periodically scrape down the sides with a silicone spatula.
  3. Place the mixture into the freezer and stir every 15 minutes until the mixture has cooled completely.
  4. Whilst you are waiting cut your chocolate into chips and chop your toasted nuts. Remove the mixture and stir in your chocolate chips and toasted nuts.
  5. Cover the bowl with cling film, to prevent ice crystals from forming, and place the mixture back into the freezer. Stir every 15 minutes for an hour until the ice-cream becomes slightly more firm than that of the texture of ‘soft serve’.
  6. Scoop up and enjoy!
