Almond Joy "Ice cream" - Dairy Free and Sugar Free!

This is a wonderful ice-cream substitute that is full of muscle building protein!   I created this recipe to satisfy my sweet tooth cravings.  I am in love with the results.  I used my Vitamix to make this "ice cream" in less than 5 minutes.  If you don't have a Vitamix, then half the recipe for the blender and you'll have a rich and delicious frozen protein shake.  A refreshing treat anytime.  Enjoy~

Almond Joy "Ice Cream"


Ingredients:
1 cup So Delicious coconut milk, unsweetened (50 calorie version)
1/2 cup chocolate protein powder (I use BSN Lean Dessert protein, but go with your favorite)
1/3 cup Stevia in the raw, granulated
3/4 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp almond extract
1/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
4 cups ice cubes
*optional- slivered almonds for topping


Directions:
Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure lid.  Select variable 1.  Turn machine on and quickly increase speed to variable 10 and then to high.  Use tamper to press ingredients into the blades.  In about 30-60 seconds, the sound of the motor will change and four mounds should form.  Stop machine or melting will occur.  Enjoy immediately.
