S’mores Dairy Free Ice Cream – Healthy & Low Fat

Medically reviewed by Abbey Sharp, Registered Dietitian (RD), BASc.

And what about those trying to watch their fat and calorie intake? The thought of a S’mores flavoured Ice Cream definitely has me inspired to pedal a little faster in my 6 AM spin class. Ha, let’s be honest, folks, there is likely no amount of cycling I could (or would want to do) to balance out the heavy cream, egg yolks, sugar galore in the ice cream chocolate, marshmallows and cookies in the s’mores. But that’s when I came up with a s’mores flavoured low fat dairy free ice cream using my new BBF Yonanas.

The Tool for Dairy Free Ice Cream

The Yonanas Maker is an innovative home appliance that makes dairy free ice cream out of fat- free frozen fruit! During its first year of business, Yonanas partnered up with Dole Produce, who saw Yonanas as a solution to so many of its customers’ overripe bananas. I know I run into this problem almost every week, so it’s great to know they will never go to waste again! This power duo has really been taking the world by storm, and proving no matter what your dietary restraints (lactose intolerant, diabetic, gluten free, weight loss goals etc.), you can make delicious healthy ice cream right in your own home.  They’re now the number one best selling ice cream machine on Amazon.com and have distribution in more than 60 countries!

It actually blows my mind how easy it is to make delicious dairy free ice cream with this thing. You freeze your over ripe bananas (or other fruit), and then feed them into the high-torque blade that immediately emulsifies frozen fruit into soft serve ice cream.

And since you don’t need to add any milk, cream, sugar, yogurt or soy to your dairy free ice cream,  you’ve got some wiggle room (if you want it) for a few more decadent add ins.  You also don’t always have to use bananas! I’ve experimented with banana-free combos like pineapple, strawberries, blueberries and mangos and they’ve all yielded delicious naturally sweet sorbets that have saved me serious calories and cash!

So back to my beloved S’mores. Knowing fair well I probably wouldn’t feel so great slipping into my bikini after adding the traditional S’mores flavours to a bowl of full-fat cream-based ice cream, the Yonanas let me have my cake (or ice cream) and eat it too! I busted out my kitchen torch to give a light toasting to some mini marshmallows, I shaved a high quality 85% chocolate bar into delicate shards to stretch a small portion and I broke up a piece of graham cracker. OMG the BEST Dairy Free Ice Cream you’ll ever taste.

The result was a solid sized portion of dairy free ice cream for about 200 calories, 5 g fat, 35 g carbs, 4.5 g fibre, and 3 g protein. Take that, ice cream man! If you need me, I’ll be on the dock in my cute bikini eating a bowl of this deliciousness all weekend long.
