20 Calorie Per Pint Vegan Ice Cream

OKAY OKAY OKAY I’m so excited for this one because it’s SO GOOD and SO LOW CALORIE, it’s also high in protein, low carb and pretty much fat free! Get ready for this y’all because this is one of my favourite recipes~

Ingredients (makes 2 pints):

1 cup aquafaba - the water from a can of chickpeas (40 kcal)*

1 tbsp granulated stevia (0 kcal)**

0.5 cup granulated Splenda or other 0 cal sweetener of choice (0 kcal)

OPTIONAL: 1 tsp imitation extract OR 1 tbsp 0 cal syrup of choice (0 kcal)

*You could use the water from any can of beans, but I find that chickpea water has the least bean-y flavour.

**I found adding a bit of stevia helps it set up and get a thicker consistency, but you can omit this if you don’t have stevia.

How to:

Pour your aquafaba into a bowl, add your sweetener and stevia (if using) and whip with an electric mixer until stiff peaks (when you lift the mixer out of the bowl, a little mountain should form and hold its shape even if you jiggle the bowl). 

This may take some time! It’s usually around 6-10 minutes for me, less if you refrigerate the aquafaba beforehand.

Add your imitation extract/syrup (if using) and whip it into the mixture until incorporated. Be careful not to add too much, especially if you’re using syrup, so that it doesn’t get too liquidy!

Transfer into a freezer-safe container and freeze overnight.

Enjoy some bomb-ass low calorie ice cream!
