Name: SunButter and Jelly Ice Cream
Prep time: 20 min
Total time: 20 min
Ingredients: ¾ cup crunchy SunButter; ½ cup sugar; 3 cups half-and-half (or use canned full-fat coconut milk); 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract; 1/8 teaspoon kosher or fine sea salt; ½ cup strawberry jam (or your favorite flavor)

The other day our editor told me she had such a craving for ice cream that she nearly chased down an ice cream truck. That got me thinking about all the frozen treats that were so delicious and seemingly magical as a kid. Nowadays, as an adult, I think we can do better. Who needs bright green ice cream in the shape of a Ninja Turtle when you can make something a little more sophisticated? Case in point … this SunButter and Jelly Ice Cream!

This dessert plays off another childhood favorite – the PB&J – but with SunButter instead. SunButter, if you don’t already know, is a sunflower seed spread that makes for an excellent nut-free peanut/nut butter alternative.

This recipe is not only nut free, but it can easily be dairy free, as well. Just use canned full-fat coconut milk in place of the half-and-half.

This is an allergen friendly ice cream that tastes so delicious even the kids will stop chasing the ice cream truck!
