Is there really such a thing as healthy ice cream? This raw vegan ice cream recipe is made with raw frozen bananas, shredded coconut and vanilla beans and is as healthy as an ice cream can get in my opinion!
My daughter loves the show Daniel Tiger and recently watched an episode where Daniel made “Banana Swirl,” which is an ice cream made with frozen bananas. She of course wanted to make it immediately and thankfully I had all the ingredients to make it for her. What better way to get banana’s into her diet?!
How to make banana-coconut raw vegan ice cream
You can make raw banana ice cream with just bananas but we decided to add a few extra ingredients to add some flavor. 🙂
More specifically, to make this recipe like I did, you’ll need:
- 4-6 bananas, frozen and cut into pieces
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla bean powder
Once you’ve gathered the ingredients, this recipe is super simple. Just:
- Blend bananas up in a high speed blender, Vitamix or food processor until they’re smooth and creamy. Don’t blend for too long or the ice cream will melt.
- Add shredded coconut and vanilla and blend for 30 seconds or until the coconut and vanilla are thoroughly mixed into the ice cream.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
