    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.

    FAQs

    Is frozen banana healthier than ice cream?

    Frozen Banana when blended makes a puree that is smooth and creamy and is of similar consistency as that of ice cream. A natural fruit is any day better than ice cream which may be loaded with cream and sugar.

    What are the health benefits of banana ice cream?

    Well, banana is a rich source of potassium, iron and fiber. This sugar free vegan ice cream made with frozen banana is a healthier alternative to any classical ice cream.

    What is banana ice cream made of?

    This ice cream is just made of frozen banana, little vegan milk, vanilla essence and is topped with maple syrup, peanut, cocoa powder and chocolates.

    Detailed Recipe With Steps

    Step 1 Freeze the bananas and blend them

    Before you begin making this ice cream, factor in the freezing time of bananas (3-4 hrs or overnight.

    I had frozen 2 bananas without peeling off and results were superb.

    Gather the ingredients and add frozen chopped banana, vanilla essence, maple syrup(1 tbsp) and little vegan milk. Blend it to make a creamy puree.
