I found a recipe for imitation chocolate ice cream using all natural, whole and raw ingredients.
The ingredients were avocado, fresh coconut meat, raw cashews, cacao powder, and dates. That's it!
It came out really good, but not like ice cream. It was more like a fudgsicle, and because I didn't churn it (I think that's the reason), it came out rock solid.
Ornish Living has a great article on the benefits of cocoa/cacao.
Having said that, I won't make this again, for two reasons. First, it was really expensive. A fresh coconut is $5, as is a bag of raw cashews. With the dates and the avocado, it was about $20 to make about two pints of ice cream.
Second, it was really difficult to extract the coconut meat from the shell.
If I was Tom Brady (who I got this idea from), I would be able to afford not just the ingredients, but a personal chef to make this for me. But I'm not. So I won't.
