Cocoa Banana Nut ViceCreme

Since I always put nuts on the Cocoa Banana ViceCreme...I decided to just add the nuts in the ViceCreme while making it !!!!

Ingredients:

1-1/4 cup almond milk

2 cups soy creamer 

1/2 cup sugar

1/4 cup Hershey's Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

2 large bananas (mashed REALLY fine - can put in blender to mash)

2 Tbsp Arrowroot Powder ( I use Bob's Red Mill)

1-1/2 tsp chocolate extract (optional)

1-1/2 tsp vanilla extract (use 1 Tbsp if no chocolate extract)
3/4 cup chopped nuts or whole peanuts (whichever you prefer!!!)

Directions:

Mix 1/4 cup almond milk with the arrowroot powder and set aside.  Mix the soy creamer, rest of almond milk, cocoa powder, bananas and sugar in a saucepan.  Bring to a boil.  Let boil for about 1 minute - stirring constantly.   Remove from heat.  Add arrowroot mixture, chocolate extract and vanilla extract.  Mix thoroughly. 

Let cool and then make in an ice cream maker.  Slowly add the nuts to the ViceCreme while it is churning in the ice cream maker.  

I actually have 2 ice cream makers; 1 that uses ice and 1 that doesn't.  I really like them both.  

The Hamilton Beach 68330R 4-Quart Automatic Ice-Cream Maker uses ice.  You can make a bigger batch of vicecreme, and I also think the vicecreme turns out "harder" than the other one.  At first I thought it would be a pain using one with the ice, but it really isn't.

The Cuisinart ICE-21 Frozen Yogurt-Ice Cream & Sorbet Maker does not use ice.  The vicecreme is softer than the other, but still comes out good.  The one thing I found is the bowl really needs to be kept in the freezer for about a week before using it.  There were times I only left it in the freezer a couple of days, and the vicecreme was REALLY soft.  The capacity is much smaller than the one that uses ice.

You will show the right path to all who worship you.
