VEGAN BANANA-COCONUT ICE CREAM (SOY-FREE)



Vegan Banana-Coconut Ice Cream (Soy-Free) image

This is modified from an Alton Brown recipe on the Banana episode of Good Eats. I replaced the cream with coconut milk and the corn syrup with agave nectar to make it vegan and healthier. I also added the optional carob chips and coconut flakes, which my friends agreed really worked well with the banana flavor. Despite its healthiness, this recipe is still luxuriously thick, "creamy," and rich. Instead of chilling the mixture before putting it in the ice cream maker, you can use frozen bananas. Be sure to use regular (not light) coconut milk. Cooking time is freezing time in ice cream maker.

Time 30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 bananas (frozen or not)
1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup coconut milk
1/4 cup agave nectar
1/2 cup unsweetened dried shredded coconut (optional)
1/2 cup carob chips (optional) or 1/2 cup semisweet vegan chocolate chips (optional)

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.

Tips for Making Creamy Vanilla Coconut or Banana Ice Cream

- When using canned coconut milk, make sure to use full-fat coconut milk. This will give your ice cream a richer, creamier texture. - If you don't have coconut milk, you can substitute the same amount of almond milk or soy milk. However, the flavor of the ice cream will be slightly different. - If you want a sweeter ice cream, add more maple syrup or honey to taste. - If you want a more intense vanilla flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or paste. - If you want a more tropical flavor, add a tablespoon of shredded coconut or pineapple chunks to the ice cream mixture. - For a fun twist, try adding some chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the ice cream mixture. - Make sure to freeze the ice cream for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving. This will allow the ice cream to firm up and develop its full flavor.
