Forget about regular ice-cream, made from the milk of poorly treated and abused cows – this dairy free ice-cream is super tasty, super healthy and super easy to make! Not a hormone in sight…
A perfect treat for a summers day – this ice-cream can be used just like regular ice-cream so get the kids to help, and then why not pop a scoop onto a gluten free, sugar free ice-cream cone and see how much they enjoy it!
*** You Will Need ***
- 4-5 medium sized ripe organic bananas
- 1-2 tablespoons of water / almond milk (if it is struggling to blend)
- vanilla pod powder (optional)
- carob or chocolate powder (optional)
*** How To Make ***
- Take a large flat baking tray, like below, and line it with non-stick baking paper.
- Cut the bananas into slices and place on the tray. Cover with foil or cling wrap and freeze for 10-12 hours.
- Next, take your blender and add the water or almond milk – you do not have too but it will ensure your banana pieces actually blend.
- Place the banana pieces into the blender, plus the vanilla powder if you are using it, and blend.
- Keep scraping the sides down and then return to blending on medium power.
- After 3-4 minutes of blending you will have made frozen banana ice-cream with a hint of vanilla!
So now you have your delicious one ingredient banana ice cream with a hint of vanilla throughout, why not go experiment with the following flavours:
- fresh strawberry coulis
- dark organic chocolate chunks
- peanut butter
All you need to do, is add the following ingredients at the time you are about to blend your bananas!
For those that are curious, the blender I used was a humble Phillips one, and this recipe will give you 6-7 scoops of ice cream.
