If you’ve ever had a chance to try chickpea cookie dough you probably know that cooked chickpeas are a surprisingly yummy substitute for actual cookie dough. Well, it turns out that chickpea is also a great add in for ice cream recipes, too. Here’s an easy homemade 6-ingredient chickpea cookie dough nice cream recipe that’s made in the food processor (as in, no ice cream maker required!)

Ingredients used to make this Chickpea Cookie Dough Nice Cream Recipe

**I’ve linked some of these ingredients to amazon.com to give you an idea of what they are, but you should also be able to find them in your local grocery store (usually, the natural & organic food section). They are also affiliate links, which means that I earn a commission as an Amazon Associate if you decide to purchase the items. The price will be the same for you, link or no link 🙂

  • Bananas – best when ripe. The sweetest ones are yellow with brown spots.
  • Maple Syrup or Honey – you can use honey for this recipe but for vegan options, you’re welcome to use other sweeteners of choice like maple syrup, agave syrup, or liquid stevia. You can also use granulated sugars, such as coconut sugar (be careful though, as it will change the color) or monk fruit sweetener.
  • Chickpeas (Garbanzo Beans) – I used canned chickpeas, which I drained and rinsed with water. You can also cook chickpeas at home.
  • Vanilla Extract – for the best cookie dough flavor
  • Cashew Butter – like this one. I like cashew butter for its mild, buttery flavor and creamy texture. It’s perfect for this recipe, but you’re free to use other natural nut butters like almond butter, pecan butter, walnut butter, cashew butter, mixed nut butter, or even seed butter like sunflower. So many choices!

  • Chocolate Chips – you can use any chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate) in this recipe. I like this lower sugar, stevia-sweetened brand. If you want, you can also use unsweetened chocolate.

Step by Step Guide

How to Make Chickpea Cookie Dough Nice Cream

ingredient pic - image - sliced frozen bananas for nice cream

Slice and freeze bananas. You can also freeze the bananas first, then slice them, which is what I did here.

STEP 2

STEP 4

STEP 5

Freeze for about 5 hours, or overnight. Enjoy!

How to Make this chickpea cookie dough Nice Cream Healthier

  • Make this even healthier by adding a handful of nuts, or seeds to add texture and nutrition before freezing.
  • For a small protein boost, you can also add a tablespoon or two of protein powder of your choice when blending. I’ve tried using an unsweetened plant-based protein powder with good results.

What are some ways you can eat these?

  • In a bowl or cup, drizzled with honey, maple syrup, caramel or chocolate syrup
  • Stacked on a waffle or sugar cone

How to Store Chickpea CookieDough Nice Cream

  • This nice cream needs to be stored in the freezer and tastes best within a few days, but it can be frozen for up to 3 months. For the best nice cream consistency, take the container out of the freezer and let sit out at room temperature for 10 mins when you’re ready to eat. If it’s in a microwaveable container, you can also microwave it for 15 seconds until softened.

Final Tips

  • Use ripened bananas for the best results!
  • While a food processor will give you the best consistency for the nice cream, you can also use a high-powered blender (such as Vitamix) that comes with a tamper. Use the tamper to push the ingredients into the blades of the blender, and add 2-4 Tbsp of almond milk if needed.

Ingredients
 
 

  • 5 medium bananas , about 580 grams
  • 1 can canned chickpeas , drained and rinsed with water
  • 1/4 cup cashew, peanut or almond butter
  • 1/4 cup liquid sweetener of choice , such as honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chopped chocolate , or chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Peel and freeze bananas until completely solid, about 8 hours
  • Slice the frozen bananas to 1 inch slices
  • In a food processor or high-powered blender with a tamper* blend frozen banana slices with chickpeas, cashew butter, sweetener, vanilla extract until smooth
  • Do a quick taste test, and blend in additional sweetener if desired**
  • Stir in chocolate chips
  • Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the freezer until ready to eat

Notes

*While a food processor will give you the best results, you can also use a high-powered blender (such as Vitamix) that comes with a tamper. Use the tamper to push the ingredients into the blades of the blender to ensure the best consistency, and add an additional 2-4 Tbsp of almond milk if needed.
**If you’re using fully ripened bananas you do not need to add any sweetener, but if you want sweeter ice cream,  you can add up to 1/4 cup of additional granulated or liquid sweetener of your choice, such as honey, maple syrup, coconut sugar or regular sugar. For a lower calorie option, I’ve used sugar-free sweeteners with good results, such as monk fruit sweetener and stevia (just be sure to convert according to package instructions).
