Last night I ate a carton (only 16 oz.) of my new favorite HEALTHY chocolate ice cream from Trader Joe’s.  Ok, truth in advertising – “non-dairy frozen dessert”

Burn more calories if you scoop it into a bowl instead of eating from the carton.

Sooooooooo creamy* and sooooooooo healthy cuz it’s made with coconut milk – everyone knows how healthy coconut milk is. AND there are only 180 calories per serving and ONLY 4 servings in the 16 oz.  I figure I actually consumed even lower calories because I ate it for dinner (or instead of dinner, depending on your point of view).

However, there are 16  grams of sugar per serving.  So I went to my favorite blog Chocolate Covered Katie to see if she had a recipe that was even more delicious with less sugar.  This is what Katie made.

Katie’s Healthy “Haagen Dazs” Ice Cream Recipe

• 1 cup raw cashew or macadamia halves (120g)
• 1 1/3 cups milk of choice (320g)
• 3 tbsp xylitol or sugar of choice (30g)
• 1/8 tsp plus 1/16 tsp salt
• 1/16 tsp pure stevia, or 2 extra tbsp sugar of choice
• 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

You will have to click on her link to see HOW she made it cuz I got a rather scathing rebuke from another recipe blog (not my Katie) when I posted her entire recipe.  Even though I put up her link she didn’t like that.

When you make it let me know if it’s as delicious as Katie says.  In the meantime I have 2 more cartons of Trader Joe’s Chocolate Coconut frozen dessert in the freezer for dinner tonight and breakfast in the morning.
