Ingredients
For The Ice-cream
- Banana- Ripe, over ripe bananas work best for this sorbet/ ice cream recipe. Ripe bananas are softer, sweeter and add creamy texture to this ice cream. I prefer freezing bananas overnight or for few hrs.
- Vegan Milk- Well, we need little or no milk. You may swap milk with water. The milk is added for blending the frozen bananas smoothly. I have used the local brand of soy milk. Feel free to use any dairy-free milk of your choice.
- Vanilla Essence- I have added vanilla essence to have a fruity aroma in the ice cream. If you are looking for more authentic flavor, you may use the vanilla extract.
For Topping
- Salted Peanuts- Since the recipe didn't use any salt, I had topped the ice cream with salted peanuts. You may garnish with chopped nuts or cherry.
- Maple Syrup-This banana ice cream is made without any refined sugar. I had glazed it with maple syrup. You may swap it with caramel sauce.
- Chocolate Chunks- Use dairy free choco chips for extra sweet chunky flavor. I didn't have choco chips, I used the small chunks of chocolate.
- Cocoa Powder- Though optional, cocoa powder adds intense chocolate flavor.
Variations
- Add another fruit- The same recipe works for mango and peach.
- Add dairy- If you want it more sweet, feel free to add Milkmaid. It adds more creamy and sweetness to this ice cream.
- Add another spice- You may experiment with cinnamon and cardamom spices for adding rich flavors.
Expert Tips
- Use ripe bananas: Ripe bananas are naturally sweeter and provide the best flavor for your ice cream. Make sure the bananas have some brown spots on the skin, indicating ripeness.
- Freeze the bananas: Freezing the banana before blending will result in a creamier texture. I have frozen the banana as is. You may freeze the banana slices by laying them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze them for a few hours or overnight.
- Blending Frozen Banana: Blending frozen banana can be a bit of challenge. Pulse with pauses and finally the banana would turn into a creamier addictive puree.
- Serve immediately or freeze: You can enjoy the ice cream immediately after blending for a soft-serve texture. If you prefer a firmer consistency, transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container and freeze for an additional hour or two before serving.
Storage Suggestions
The left overs of Vegan Banana Ice-cream can be saved in a plastic container with a tight lid (to avoid formation of any ice crystals) for about a week. Remember that freezing and storing ice cream can slightly alter its texture, but it should still be delicious and enjoyable. Just make sure to consume it within a reasonable time frame to enjoy the best and fresh taste.
