Mocha Brownie Blizzard
Description
This icy cold, simple yet decadent banana ice cream has the addition of delicious little vegan brownie bites rich in healthy fats and proteins from walnuts and cashews, and only requires a few ingredients. If you'd rather just have brownies without the stormy blizzard this recipe makes a great batch of brownies as well!
