My house we love all things tacos. When a recipe for ice cream tacos came up on my newsfeed I knew there was a way to make a healthier version. This ice cream has a deep rich flavor from the coconut cream and the cacao. The waffles are fluffy and the cinnamon/coconut sugar blend gives a great pop that really compliments the ice cream.
Coconut Mexican Hot Chocolate Ice Cream
1 Can Coconut Cream, chilled
1 Frozen Banana
2 TBS Cacao Powder
1/4 Cup Cacao Nibs
1/4 Cup Raw Honey
1/4 Cup Coconut Sugar
1 Tsp Cinnamon
1/2 Tsp Cayenne Pepper
Pinch of Salt
Take the hard coconut cream from the can and add to a food processor or blender. (Leave the liquid in the can). Add the rest of the ingredients and blend on medium speed. (stopping to scrap down the sides a couple times.) Place in a glass dish, cover with plastic wrap and freeze.
