From Sweet Simple Vegan
By Jasmine Briones,
Ingredients
Ice Cream
- 5-6 medium-sized bananas, cut into 1-inch pieces and frozen
- 1-2 tablespoons cocoa, cacao, or carob powder
Toppings of choice, such as:
- goji berries
- mulberries
- plum
- kiwi
- coconut flakes
- cacao nibs
Instructions
- In a food processor, process the bananas until they start to break down into the ice cream.
- Turn off the processor. Scrape down the sides and add in the cacao.
- Allow it to process again for another 3-4 minutes, or until fluffy and smooth. You may need to open and scrape down the sides periodically.
- Decorate liberally with toppings.
Notes: You can also make this ice cream in a high speed blender. I have made it successfully with a Vitamix, but you must use a tamper in order for it to work. Just be sure to thaw the bananas for about 10 minutes prior to ease the blending.

(5 from 3 votes)Could this be frozen for eating later?
Hi Anna. Yes, you can free leftovers. They will go hard, so you will need to let it thaw a bit before trying to dig a spoon into, and it won't have the creamy ice cream texture. This is best eaten freshly made.
I dont have a blender can u use a still blender?
I add a touch of vanilla to round out the flavors.
