How Do you Like Your Coffee?
Crisp!
Coffee Crisp is a Canadian chocolate bar. It consists of alternating layers of vanilla wafer and foamed coffee-flavoured soft candy, covered with a milk chocolate outer layer. It's also available as "bites" and as ice cream!
The bad news: Coffee Crisp is high in sugar, fat and calories and devoid of fibre and protein. The good news: I made a low calorie, low sugar and high protein version of the Coffee Crisp Ice Cream! And it tastes exactly like Coffee Crisp! Look!
Before You Begin:
Step 1: Buy an Ice Cream Machine. I got mine at the rainforest place for ~$50 here. Best thing money can buy. I use mine ALL the time except when I don’t use it.
Step 2: Watch my “How to Use an Ice Cream Machine Tootorial Video” or just read my instructions here.
Recipe:
Place the following into a Magic Bullet or Blender:
- 1/2 scoop of BSN Syntha-6 Mochaccino Whey
- 1 cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk. I recommend SILK brand because it’s less calories.
- 1/2 cup of crushed ice
- 2 TBSP Walden Farms Marshmallow Dip (Calorie and Sugar free). It makes the shake “creamier”. You can omit this step if you prefer. Other options would be 2 TBSP of low fat cottage cheese, Xantham Gum or Glucomannan.
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Blend and then add:
- 2 TBSP All Bran Buds Cereal
Add this mixture to your ice cream machine (turn the machine ON before adding the mixture). It takes about 15-20 minutes in the machine. Once it’s ready, turn off the machine and immediately remove the ice cream from the ice cream bowl.
Enjoy!
