Vegan Ice Cream

Non dairy ice cream


I've been on a current ice cream obsession (and it's getting out of hand). But, I always find myself gravitating towards making my own vegan ice cream. It's super easy and inexpensive, not to mention, healthy and guilt-free!


Raw ice cream

The basic recipe calls for frozen, blended bananas. Once blended they become creamy and delicious like soft serve ice cream. Depending on what you add in to flavor these you could create raw or vegan versions very easily. I decided to try out a few different variations.
Chocolate vegan ice cream

Chocolate Non Dairy Ice Cream, makes one serving.
Needed: 2-3 bananas, 1/4 cup water, 1 tablespoon cocoa powder (dutch processed preferred) and 2 tablespoons brown sugar.

Peel and chop up bananas and freeze in a zip lock bag overnight. Then blend in a food processor or blender with the water until creamy. You may need to let the bananas soften before blending. Then add in the cocoa and sugar and blend until combined. I topped mine with a few bits of toffee.
Vegan ice cream recipe

Banana Nut Non Dairy Ice Cream, makes one serving.
Needed: 2-3 bananas, 1/4 cup water, 1-2 tablespoons honey and 1/4 cup chopped walnuts.

Peel and chop up bananas and freeze in a zip lock bag overnight. Then blend in a food processor or blender with the water until creamy. You may need to let the bananas soften before blending. Stir in the honey and nuts.
Vanilla raw ice cream

Vanilla Non Dairy Ice Cream, makes one serving.
Needed: 2-3 bananas, 1/4 cup water, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 2-3 tablespoons sugar.

Peel and chop up bananas and freeze in a zip lock bag overnight. Then blend in a food processor or blender with the water until creamy. You may need to let the bananas soften before blending. Stir in the vanilla extract and sugar. I topped mine with some chocolate syrup.
