Are you craving an easy peanut butter ice cream recipe? Well I have something even better for you! A dairy-free Sunbutter Ice Cream made with only 6 ingredients. This naturally sweetened ice cream recipe contains coconut milk, sunflower seed butter, dates, vanilla, salt, and water!
I often use sunflower seed butter in place of peanut butter in my recipes. Why? Peanuts are not the healthiest of foods since they can contain high levels of mold. Sunbutter on the other hand, is made from sunflower seeds, is more nutritious than peanut butter, and is also great for those avoiding peanuts due to allergies. Finally, peanuts are not considered paleo because they are a legume, not a nut.

The other night I was thrilled to have Kelly and her adorable family over for dinner. We made a delicious meal using various recipes from our cookbooks. After that, we had the absolutely scrumptious dessert pictured above. Kelly made her Banana Coconut Cream Pie, and I made her Sunbutter Ice Cream recipe above which I think you’ll love. You can find more incredible ice cream recipes in her book Dairy-Free Ice Cream.

The first time I tried Sunbutter, I freaked out and called the company because I was positive peanuts were in it. That’s how closely it resembles the taste! They assured me they make it in a peanut-free plant but boy did it taste similar! This dessert sounds aaaamazing :)

Last year I realized I was peanut intolerant. Didn’t think that was possible after age 60 — who knew? I discovered almond butter and it became my go to substitute for PB. Now, I’m ecstatic to learn of sunbutter. My horizons definitely have been broadened. Thank you.
