Print Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Frozen banana sliced
  • 1 tbsp cacao/cocoa powder as per taste
  • 1/4 tbsp  vanilla powder Optional
  • 1/4 cup nut/ seed/coconut milk
  • A pinch of Himalayan salt
  • *1-2 Soaked Medjool dates ( optional) you don't need it actually!

Toppings

  • Freshly chopped fruits (Mango /berries)
  • Roasted sunflower/pumpkin seeds/ sliced almond/coconut shavings
  • Cacao nibs (optional)

Instructions
 

Freezing of bananas

  • Let the bananas ripen before peeling.
  • Do not use them until they look brown & spotty ( inside should be white )
  • Fully ripe bananas are sweeter,& give a delicious caramelized flavor.
  • Not-overripe bananas will have something of an earthy taste, & they will not be as sweet as fully ripe ones.
  • Once ripe, peel the bananas, cut into thin slices, & freeze them.
  • Once you have fully frozen bananas ready follow the next step.

Milk

  • If you like very thick ice cream then you can avoid this step & blend the frozen bananas.
  • Blend 1x2 inch piece of fresh coconut or optional mix 1tbs of soaked melon seeds to it.
  • Add 1/4 cup or less water, blend till you get the thick creamy milk.
  • You can use 8-9 soaked cashew to make milk.

After the Above

  • Toss the frozen banana slices into a food processor / high-quality blender (such as a Vitamix)
  • Blend until you get a consistency of soft-serve ice cream.
  • Add  1/4 cup MILK TO THE BLENDER IF YOU WANT EASY BLENDING.
  • Add cacao/cocoa powder+ vanilla powder to the blender, blend for few seconds.
  • Pour in the ice cream bowl, add the toppings. Enjoy
  • You can eat it immediately ( I like that way)
  • Or scoop it into a container, freeze an additional 15-20 minutes.
  • This will give you a firmer banana ice cream texture.

Notes

VARIATION:
You can make plain banana ice cream without any flavor.
Add peanut/any nut butter for a rich & luxurious taste.
With the same method & variety of frozen fruits, you can create new flavors.
My favorite is MANGO, BANANA & STRAWBERRY.
Layer them & add toppings, heavenly delight!
