Raw Chocolate Cake

Andre end mig, som har hørt om raw cakes? Kager lavet kun på rigtige og sunde ingredienser. Det skal da prøves! Må faktisk indrømme, at på trods af, at der hverken er sukker eller mel eller noget i den stil i denne kage smagte den helt forrygende med en klat vanilie is eller hjemmelavet banan-is.

Vanilla Frozen Yogurt with Banana

I have a love for ice cream, and even more for frozen yogurt, so here is a super healthy recipe for some delicious homemade ice cream, which is perfect for every occasion!

Ingredients:
1 frozen banana
1/2 cup vanilla greek yogurt
1/2 cup vanilla soy milk or vanilla almond milk.

Directions:
Blend all ingredients in a blender until smooth and serve immediately.

Coconut Milkshake

This totally dairy-free ice cream is just so good you won't believe it. It has plenty of sweetness from the bananas, and the coconut milk gives it the most creamy moisture. I lightened it up with some unsweetened almond milk, just because it was a bit heavy. We don't have an ice cream maker, so when I had to freeze it, it didn't turn out very good, but just as a shake or dipping it was really good.

Ingredients:

2 frozen bananas

1/2 can coconut milk

1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk

Directions:

Place the coconut milk in the refrigerator over night. 

Blend frozen bananas until it has a creamy consistency. Add the coconut milk. It should have an almost hard consistency after it has cooled down in the fridge. Add almond milk and blend until all combined. You can add more or less almond milk whether you want it more creamy or more like a shake. 

Enjoy!

Paleo Chocolate Mug Cake

Am I the only one who is craving a chocolate cake with some sweet vanilla bean ice cream every once in a while? I don't think so, cause it really is one of the best treats on earth if you ask me! There is just one problem... Baking a whole chocolate cake and spending hours in the kitchen, just because you wanted a treat for the movie? No, there must be an easier way, and I found it. Just make a cake in a mug. It's so easy, and it doesn't even make a mess! This recipe is enough for two mug cakes, but if you don't want the extra mess of the ONE bowl you make it in, go ahead and split it in half and just make directly in the mug!

By the way, did I mention that this cake is paleo? If you want it strict paleo, go ahead and make a homemade ice cream.

Ingredients:

3 tbsp coconut flour

2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

2 tbsp honey

1 tbsp butter

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tbsp almond milk

Vanilla bean ice cream (optional)

Directions:

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl and pour into two mugs. Microwave for 2 minutes, and let it cool down just a little bit. I like my chocolate cake just a little lukewarm still when I put the ice cream on top so it melts just a little bit.

Enjoy!

Homemade Cookie Dough Ice Cream

Was I the only one with cravings tonight?? Cookies, Ice Cream... Mmm... But how do we combine these two things? Let's just make an edible cookie dough and mix it with some vanilla bean ice cream, and you have the most delicious treat in the world. No exceptions. Most delicious. 

So this was what me and my host sister ended up making, hehe. 

Ingredients:

1 stick butter, softened 

3/4 cups brown sugar 

2 tsp vanilla 

1/2 tsp salt 

1 cup flour 

2 tbsp milk 

3/4 cup chocolate chips 

Vanilla bean ice cream (optional)

Directions:

With your mixer, cream together butter and brown sugar. Add in vanilla and salt and mix. Add in flour. The mixture is going to be crumbly at this point. Add in 2 tablespoons of milk and mix. Now the dough will look like the cookie dough you’re used to seeing. Fold in the chocolate chips. 

Just a warning, even though the dough doesn't have eggs in it, and it sounds perfectly safe to eat, just be careful, because unbaked flour can be dangerous for you do eat as well.

If you want the ice cream version, go ahead and make small balls of the cookie dough and mix in some vanilla bean ice cream, and you will have pure deliciousness.
