Banana Nice Cream

Sure, it’s still cold and gloomy outside, but I don’t care. I’m eating ice cream! Raw, vegan ice cream made without a ice cream maker. Boy, I wish I knew about this technique in the past. It’s really quite easy. Freeze ripe bananas, and blend them in the food processor with your sweet additions, then refreeze. Enjoy!

• Ready In: 10 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 3  frozen ripe bananas, cut into 1 inch pieces (be sure to peel and cut bananas before freezing)
• 5  tablespoons coconut cream or 5  tablespoons coconut milk

• Chai Blend

• 1⁄4 teaspoon cardamom powder (or 1 pod)
• 1  teaspoon cinnamon
• 2  teaspoons fresh ginger, minced
•  vanilla bean, from half a fresh pod (or 1 tsp alcohol-free vanilla extract)

• Mango

• 1  cup  frozen mango

• Chocolate

• 1  tablespoon  cocoa or 1  tablespoon  raw cacao powder

Directions

1. Place all ingredients into a food processor, and blend until pureed. You will have to occasionally press the mixture down with a spatula or spoon to help it along.
2. After a few minutes you will have a soft and creamy ice cream. Enjoy immediately, or for better results, place in a container and refreeze for 1 hour. Use an ice cream scoop to serve.
