Title: Veganes Bananeneis
Ingredients:
– 4 ripe bananas, peeled, sliced, and frozen
– 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk, chilled
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 2 tablespoons maple syrup or agave nectar (optional, for added sweetness)
Instructions:
1. Start by ensuring your bananas are ripe, as they will provide the natural sweetness and creaminess to your vegan ice cream. Peel the bananas, slice them into coins, and place them in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze the bananas for at least 4 hours or overnight until firm.
2. Once the bananas are frozen, it’s time to make the ice cream base. In a chilled mixing bowl, scoop out the chilled coconut cream, leaving behind any liquid. The cream should be solidified at the top of the can. Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer, whip the coconut cream until smooth and fluffy.
3. Add the frozen banana slices, vanilla extract, and maple syrup or agave nectar (if using) to the whipped coconut cream. Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, resembling the texture of soft-serve ice cream. You can adjust the sweetness by adding more maple syrup or agave nectar to suit your taste preferences.
4. Transfer the banana ice cream mixture into a loaf pan or a freezer-safe container. Smooth out the top with a spatula. Cover the pan with plastic wrap, ensuring it touches the surface of the ice cream to prevent ice crystals from forming.
5. Place the pan in the freezer and let the ice cream set for at least 4-6 hours or overnight until firm. This will allow the flavors to meld together and create a rich, creamy texture.
6. When ready to serve, remove the banana ice cream from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. Scoop the Veganes Bananeneis into bowls or cones and garnish with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
Enjoy the luscious and creamy goodness of this homemade vegan banana ice cream.
