Vanilla Hemp Ice Cream with Hot Chocolate Brownie and Syrup


THIS DESSERT IS SERIOUSLY GOOD! That is all I have to say.

Hemp milk has quite a creamy consistency so you don't really need many other ingredients to make it the perfect ice cream base. Mix it with stevia, maple syrup and a vanilla bean and you have the perfect substitute to a rich and creamy vanilla ice cream! The brownies are really good, especially when hot and put with the ice cream.




Ingredients for Vanilla Hemp Ice Cream 

(makes a whole tub) 
  • 1 litre of hemp milk (I used a brand called Pacific and it had the best creamy taste- but I don't know if you can get that in the UK) 
  • 1 vanilla bean (scrape out the little seeds) 
  • 1 tsp of vanilla extract 
  • 3 tbs of maple syrup 
  • 2 packets of stevia / 10 drops of liquid stevia (or use 5 tbs of xylitol/ sugar or 3 more tbs of maple syrup) 
  • 1/4 tsp of salt 

Method 

  1. Pour into an ice cream maker and churn until completely frozen (around 25mins) 
  2. ALTERNATIVELY put into ice cube trays, freeze and then mix up in a blender until a slushy ice cream.  Refreeze in a tub. 

Ingredients for the Brownies 

(Makes around 6-7 BIG squares or 15 smaller squares) 
  • 1 can black beans (around 250g) 
  • 2 1/2 tbs of carob powder 
  • 1 tbs of dark cocoa powder 
  • 5 tbs choice of flour ( or oat flour: blended oats to make a fine flour) 
  • 1/4 tsp of salt 
  • 2 stevia packets (or 4 tbs of sugar/ xylitol) 
  • 3 tbs of maple syrup 
  • 2 tbs of honey (or more maple syrup) 
  • 3 tbs of coconut butter (I think coconut oil would work too) 
  • 3 tbs of applesauce/ 1 small banana or 1/2 a large banana 
  • 2 tsp of vanilla extract 
  • 4 tbs of hemp milk 
  • 1 1/2 tsp of baking powder 

Method 

  1. Pre heat a oven to 180 degrees C. Grease a small brownie dish with coconut oil.
  2. Put all ingredients in a food processor and blend until completely smooth 
  3. Pour into the brownie dish and bake for 15 - 20 mins (depending on how gooey you want your brownies - I like mine gooey!) 
  4. Leave to cool for 10mins then cut into squares. 
Serve by stacking a large brownie with one scoop of ice cream and then drizzle in maple syrup. DELICIOUS!
