Peanut Butter Ice Cream with Chocolate Sauce

Am I delusional to think that Jackson might be happy to have a mom who will make him lots of tasty treats? What if he prefers Baskin Robins to homemade ice cream? Or Oreos to almond flour chocolate chip cookies? That might kill me. I have no idea how to handle future food battles. My goal is to not make that huge of a deal out of it, I won't force him to eat - I think that would back fire. I don't plan on giving him certain foods, like oreos, mcdonalds, etc., simply because we don't eat things like that. But will keeping him from those things make him want them even more?!

Ok, I think I need to relax. We will do our best to teach him about healthy options without turning him off. Any tips?

On to ice cream... I love our ice cream maker.

Peanut butter and chocolate are a force to be reckoned with.

Peanut Butter Ice Cream

(with coconut milk)

• 1 15 oz can of lite coconut milk (you can use regular coconut milk, I prefer the lighter texture)
• 1/3 cup agave
• 1/3 cup peanut butter (chunky or smooth)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

1. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl until well combined. This can take a bit if you're peanut butter is thick.
2. Once mixed together well, add to your ice cream maker and follow it's usual instructions.
3. When done pour the ice cream into a container and freeze for another hour or two. Scoop to serve!

Chocolate "magic shell" sauce

(with coconut oil)

• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1 tablespoon dark chocolate chips
• 2 teaspoons unsweetened chocolate powder
• 1 tablespoon agave

1. Melt the coconut oil in a small pot on the stove over a low flame.
2. Once it's melted turn off the heat then add the chocolate chips and stir until melted.
3. Add the other ingredients and stir until combined.
4. Let it cool for 15 mins or so because serving.
