Try this delicious easy to make dairy free ice cream. Perfect for summer and no ice cream maker is needed. Frozen bananas give this ice cream a lovely creamy texture.
Ingredients
- 4 banana
- ½ cup plant-based drink
- 2 tbsp agave syrup
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder or 1 cup of berries
HOW TO MAKE DAIRY FREE ICE CREAM
- Chop the bananas in to pieces and place them into the freezer for about 2-3 hours, until frozen.
- Take the bananas out of the freezer and wait about 5 minutes for them to soften, if they are too hard.
- Put the banana in to a food mixer with a splash of plant-based milk of your choice (almond, rice, oat, soy, coconut) and blend. I divided my bananas into 2 cups to make two different flavours
- When the mix is creamy enough you can add:
- the cocoa powder with some agave syrup
- or some fresh berries – I used a mix of strawberries, blueberries, cranberries and raspberries.
- Blend everything together until smooth. If it becomes too soft you can put it back in the freezer for a few minutes before serving.
Note: you can try many different ingredients to create your own favourite flavour. Why not add peaches, mango, peanut or nut spread.
