Vegan Banana Ice Cream Recipes

Steps:

• In a blender, blitz the frozen banana with the cocoa powder until smooth. Eat straight away.

Steps:

• Make the Roasted Bananas:
• Preheat the oven to 400°F; position the rack in the middle. Line a shallow baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, toss the bananas, coconut oil, sugar, and salt. Spread the ingredients on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until caramelized. Transfer to a cooling rack and let cool completely.
• Make the Banana Vegan Ice Cream:
• Pour the coconut and cashew milks in a tall (2-quart or larger) container and set aside. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and 1/4 (60 grams) water and stir over low heat until the sugar has melted. Stir in the cocoa butter and coconut oil until melted. Stir in the salt until dissolved.
• Gently pour the sugar mixture into the coconut milk mixture. Using an immersion blender, buzz the liquids together until emulsified. Add the roasted bananas and use an immersion blender to buzz the mixture until emulsified. Cover and refrigerate the ice cream base until chilled, for 1 to 2 hours. Do not refrigerate overnight. (If you must refrigerate overnight, "loosen" the solidified ice cream base by placing the container in a bowl with some warm water until it becomes more liquid.Pour the chilled ice cream base into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. Place the container in which you refrigerated the custard in the freezer, so you can use it to store ice cream. Churn the ice cream until the texture resembles "soft serve."While the ice cream churns, preheat the oven to 300 degrees F; position the rack in the middle. Spread the walnuts on a rimmed baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 5 minutes or until fragrant; transfer the nuts to a bowl to cool. In the last minute of churning, add the toasted walnuts and churn until incorporated. Transfer the ice cream back to its chilled storage container and freeze until hardened to your desired consistency. Alternatively, you can serve it immediately - it will be the consistency of gelato. The ice cream will keep, frozen, for up to 7 days.

Steps:

• This is as easy as chucking it all in a blender and whizzing it up until it is smooth and creamy.
• Gobble it down!

Steps:

• To make the cashew milk, place the cashews in a large bowl and add water to cover by a couple of inches. Soak cashews overnight.
• In the morning, drain the cashews and place them in a blender with about 1 3/4 cups (375 grams) fresh water. Blend until smooth. If you use a Vitamix, there will be no need to strain - the milk will be perfectly smooth; for other blenders, check the consistency and, if necessary, strain the cashew milk through a fine-mesh strainer. Cashew milk will keep well, covered and refrigerated, for up to 4 days.
• To roast the bananas, heat the oven to 400 degrees with a rack in the middle. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, toss the bananas, 2 tablespoons/27 grams coconut oil, brown sugar and pinch of salt. Spread on prepared baking sheet and bake until caramelized, about 15 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack and let cool completely.
• Put 1/4 cup water into a small saucepan over medium to low heat. Add sugar and cook, stirring frequently, until sugar has dissolved. Add cocoa butter, remaining 4 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons/63 grams coconut oil and remaining salt. Stir until melted.
• Pour the sugar mixture into in a food processor (or use a tall 2-quart container and an immersion blender), and add the coconut milk and 1 cup/212 grams cashew milk. Blend until smooth. Add roasted bananas and blend again to combine until very smooth. Cover and refrigerate the ice cream base until chilled, 1 to 2 hours.
• Freeze in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. In the last minute of churning, add toasted walnuts, if desired, and churn until incorporated. Transfer the ice cream to a storage container and freeze up to 7 days. Alternatively, you can serve it immediately. It will be the consistency of soft-serve.

Steps:

• Chop up some bananas and freeze in container for at least two hours.
• Blend until the bananas are smooth.
• Add some chocolate sandwich cookies, peanut butter, dark chocolate and chocolate chips and blend again.
• Pour into a container and freeze until solid.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Place all ingredients except shredded coconut and carob chips in blender or food processor. Puree, scraping sides occasionally, until uniform.
• If you used frozen bananas, pour the mixture directly into the frozen cannister of a 1-quart ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's directions.
• If you used room-temperature bananas, chill the mixture in your refrigerator for at least a few hours before pouring into the frozen cannister.
• If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can freeze the mixture and then puree it again in your food processor, but it won't be as creamy.
• If using shredded coconut and/or carob/chocolate chips, add them to the ice cream maker in the last 5-10 minutes.
• Enjoy, and store leftovers in the freezer.
