Last week I put out a little SOS vote on Instagram asking what flavor I should make: chocolate or banana cream pie. A ton of you banana lovers spoke up, but you couldn’t drown out the cries of the chocolate lovers. So, chocolate it was! But not to worry because I also made a banana version that’s coming soon as well! Everybody wins. First, chocolate. This recipe is simple to make and requires just 7 ingredients. It’s slightly adapted from my Vegan Chocolate Brownie Ice Cream, which was before my cashew-in-dairy-free-desserts discovery. Thus, I did a little ingredient switcheroo, added some mini chocolate chips and I had a blizzard on my hands! The ingredients you’ll need are: CashewsCoconut milkVanilla extractCocoa or cacao powderAgave nectarCane sugar& Mini chocolate chips (or another mix-in of choice) The result? Dreamy, creamy, chocolatey bliss. You’re going to love this blizzard! It’s CreamyThickMega chocolatyPerfectly sweetSpoonableStudded with chocolate chipsSeriously satisfying& Perfect for sharing This recipe makes enough for two generous (or four small) blizzards, so modify the ingredient amounts as you see fit! And if you just aren’t a blizzard fan (BOOOOO), you could just freeze it into ice cream for a more traditional, scoopable ice cream. Winning idea: It would be perfect for a blizzard party! Call all your friends, prepare this delicious chocolate blizzard base, then provide a lineup of mix-ins: Bananas, chocolate chips, M&Ms, peanut butter cups, cooconut whip, oreos, etc. You get the idea! Then everyone can mix in their favorite toppings and finally be happy. This summer heat beckons for cooling off with cold treats. Do it! If you try this blizzard, be sure to snap a pic and tag it #minimalistbaker on Instagram! I’d love to see what flavor combos you dream up. Cheers!
