Ingredients

Nice cream base

  • 2 bananas chopped & frozen
  • ¼ cup soy milk

Chocolate version

  • 2 tbsp cacao powder
  • Pinch cinnamon
  • Pinch salt
  • Crushed hazelnuts for topping

Peanut butter

Berry nice cream

  • 1 cup mixed frozen berries
  • Splash of additional soy milk
  • Pinch vanilla powder

Tropical flavors

  • ½ cup frozen pineapple or mango
  • ¼ cup coconut milk
  • Shredded coconut for topping

Instructions

  • Prepare your frozen bananas by peeling and chopping ripe bananas and placing them in an air-tight container in the freezer overnight or longer.
  • Once ready to make your easy and healthy vegan ice cream, place about 2 frozen bananas, soy milk and any of the add-ins to create your desired flavor in your high-speed blender.
  • You might want to let the bananas defrost for a few minutes before blending them! Then, process until creamy and smooth.
  • Stop and scrape down the sides if needed and add some more liquid if the ice cream doesn’t come together.
  • Serve with any toppings of your choice and enjoy immediately!

Notes

  • Unfortunately, blended banana ice cream doesn’t scoop well once frozen, so you should enjoy it right away. 
  • You can make so many flavors of vegan ice cream by adding different spices, nuts, seeds, fruit and non-dairy milk to your base!
