This vegan, nut-free, dark green ice cream is naturally colored with sunflower seeds! Sunflower seeds contain chlorogenic acid which turns green with baking soda.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup natural green sunflower seeds *
- 4 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup soy milk
- 1 tsp homemade vanilla extract
* Here you’ll find my tutorial: How to make Natural Geen Sunflower Seeds
Blend all ingredients until smooth and freeze in an ice cream maker.
The natural green sunflower ice cream tastes just like ordinary sunflower ice cream with a hint of vanilla flavor.
How important is the soy milk in this recipe? For health reasons I must avoid nuts and soy (although seeds cause no problems, at all). Is it necessary for the high fat content or would rice milk work successfully, as well?
Thank you, in advance.
I think rice milk would work for this ice cream because it’s a dense ice cream because of the sunflower seeds.
