chocolate-banana ice cream cake
Right or wrong, I always have chocolate on the brain on Easter Sunday. No more eggs hunts for me, but I am going to try and hunt down some egg-shaped avocados to remake this raw vegan chocolate ice cream cake this afternoon.
I first made this sometime last year and copied down the recipe but can’t for the life of me remember where I found the original (or find it again) so my most humble apologies to anyone out there to whom this sounds familiar… it is out of utmost respect and love that I share this with others :)
Ingredients
Bottom layer
- 1 avocado
- 2 bananas
- 4 large, soft medjool dates (if they are a bit hard, soak in water overnight and pat dry before using)
- 4 tablespoons cacao powder or cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Pinch sea salt
Top layer
- 3 bananas
- 4 tablespoons almond butter
- Pinch sea salt
Frosting
- 1 avocado
- 1 banana
- 3 tablespoons cacao powder or cocoa powder
- 6 large, soft medjool dates
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Pinch sea salt
- chopped cashews
Instructions
- Puree all ingredients for the bottom layer in a food processor with an “S” blade until it’s a creamy, pudding like consistency
- Spoon into a 6″ in springform pan and place in freezer until firm
- Puree all ingredients for the top layer, spread over the bottom layer and freeze
- Once the layers are frozen, puree all ingredients for the frosting
- Remove the cake from the pan and spread chocolate avocado frosting thickly over the top and sides.
- Top with chopped cashews, or banana slices
- Serve with soft frosting, or refreeze before serving
- Store in the freezer – mine lasted about a week… it’s a lot of cake for one girls to eat!
I tried to make popsicles by layering the first two layers in popsicle containers but the chocolate doesn’t freeze hard enough to come out neatly so I made individual desserts instead… and the omnivore boyfriend gave it the official approval anyway! Love :)

how did the agave free go?
still waiting for the avocados to ripen Lynda! should be able to use them in the next few days though…
finally…! I substituted each tablespoon of agave for one medjool date and it worked really well! You need really soft ones, or soak them over night…
Loooove cakes like this! Did one similar the other week. So delicious. Your looks Amazing!!!!
Just a spoon and the whole cake for me please ;)
