Vegan Ice Cream Recipes - This raw food dessert recipe tastes just like chocolate ice cream and you'd never guess the main ingredient is frozen banana!
I have a friend who makes this recipe for her (non-health conscious) husband and sons every time they ask for chocolate ice cream and they have never guessed that it is made from bananas (as far as her husband and sons are concerned, they 'don't like' bananas!).
They believe they're eating regular store bought chocolate ice cream!
And of course my friend is super clever so she makes sure there is a tub of store bought ice cream in the freezer, but she never needs to replace it and so far no one has ever become suspicious.
Ingredients:
5x bananas (previously peeled, quartered and frozen)
1x tablespoon cacao or 2 tablespoons carob powder
1/4 cup water
Method:
Place all ingredients into a food processor and process using the S blade until very smooth and creamy.
Throw some pistachio nuts over the top to decorate.
Variations
There are many variations to this recipe and every time I make it I do it a bit differently. You can throw some medjool dates in to give it extra sweetness and for some caramel chunks.
You can also throw some almonds or other nuts into the food processor to make a nut flavored ice cream.
You can also include some nut butter in the ice cream.
You can use a dash of vanilla essence or raw vanilla bean instead of cacao/carob for vanilla ice cream, or a few strawberries for strawberry flavored ice cream.
Get creative with it, and if you have children, then let them get involved with making ice cream for the family, it's lots of fun!
