Vegan Malted Maca Chocolate Ice Cream

Vegan chocolate ice cream with maca powder for a malted flavour. Super cream and packed with nutritional goodness too!

This recipe is my take on malt chocolate ice cream. Instead of malted milk or Horlicks powder, I use maca - a delicious superfood with a natural "malted" taste.

And as with all the ice creams I make, this one is vegan and made using coconut milk. If you like the comforting taste of malted cocoa, then you'll love this healthy treat!

Maca powder comes from the Peruvian maca root and boasts a variety of vitamins, minerals, enzymes and every essential amino acid. Delicious added to smoothies - it gives that "milkshake" taste!
