Description
Vegan Banana Ice Cream is a simple, creamy, and healthy frozen treat made with just ripe bananas, offering a naturally sweet, dairy-free, and guilt-free dessert that’s customizable and easy to make.
Ingredients
- 4 ripe bananas, peeled and sliced
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Pinch of salt (optional)
1/4 cup non-dairy milk (almond, coconut, oat, or soy milk)
Optional mix-ins: chocolate chips, nuts, berries, or swirl of peanut butter
Instructions
Start by peeling the bananas and slicing them into small rounds.
- Place the banana slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze them for at least 2 hours or until completely frozen.
- Once the bananas are frozen, place them in a food processor or high-speed blender. Add the vanilla extract, pinch of salt, and 2 tablespoons of non-dairy milk to the bananas.
- Blend the mixture on high, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides, until it reaches a creamy, ice cream-like consistency. You may need to add more milk (a tablespoon at a time) to help it blend if it’s too thick.
- Once smooth and creamy, you can serve the banana ice cream immediately for a soft-serve consistency, or transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for 1-2 hours for a firmer texture.
- If desired, fold in chocolate chips, crushed nuts, or swirl in peanut butter before freezing.
- Scoop into bowls and enjoy!
Notes
- Storage: Store any leftover banana ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week. Be sure to let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften before serving, as it can become quite firm.
- Reheating: Banana ice cream is best enjoyed directly from the freezer or after letting it sit out for a few minutes to soften. You can also microwave it for 10-15 seconds if you prefer a softer consistency.
