This Vegan Cookie Dough Nice Cream is a healthy twist on ice cream made with frozen bananas and chunks of edible cookie dough in every bite. Dairy-free, no ice cream maker needed, and ready in minutes!
Make the cookie dough balls: In a small bowl, mix together the almond flour, cashew butter, maple syrup, mini chocolate chips, and vanilla extract until a cookie dough consistency forms. Roll into small balls, then pop in the freezer while you make the ice cream.
Blend the ice cream: Add frozen banana slices, cashew butter, non-dairy milk, and vanilla extract to a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend until creamy and smooth. It should have a soft serve consistency. Add 2-3 tablespoons of non-dairy milk if needed to help it blend.
Mix in the cookie dough balls: Scoop the ice cream into bowls and top with cookie dough balls and more chocolate chips. Enjoy!

Notes
Use ripe bananas. The riper they are before freezing, the sweeter your nice cream will be and the less banana taste.
Slice bananas before freezing. Makes blending so much easier.
No cashew butter? Sub with almond or peanut butter. Tahini works too for a nut-free version!
Make it extra thick. Only add extra non-dairy milk if needed.
More cookie dough, please! Double the edible cookie dough recipe and freeze extras for the next time you make nice cream. You can even add it to a batch of my chocolate nice cream for a fun twist!
