Chocolate Italian Ice
This is a modified recipe from Sam Kuma’s book Vegan: Delicious Italian Vegan Recipes for Vegetarians and Raw Vegans.
Yields: 10
Ingredients
- 3 cups water
- 1 cup sugar (I used coconut sugar)
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup lemon juice
- 10 oz orange juice (about 1 single serve bottle)
- 6 bananas, diced
- 16 ounces crushed pineapples
- Lemon-lime soda (optional)
- A few mint sprigs to garnish
Instructions
Bring sugar and water to boiling and cook till sugar dissolves. Stir in chocolate. Set aside and let cool.
Stir well and pour into freezable dish. I used a 11x13 glass baking pan.
Stir in juices and fruit. Mix well.
Freeze.
Remove from freezer about a half hour before serving so it can soften to a slushy consistency.
Serve into glasses. Garnish with mint leaves. Pour lemon-lime soda over (if using) and serve.
