Soft Scoop Ice Cream!

Arghhh it was soooooo hot today, and my mum decided to take us to the hampton court flower show (where I picked up some really good herbs for my garden!) and all I could see everywhere was people eating ice cream! So JEALOUS!!! But I am vegan now and have a good amount of willpower. Looking to the future I decided I was going to make my own delicous vegan ice cream so I could share the fun.

So this recipe is for silky smooth vegan ice cream that is so sweet it should make others jealous of YOU! Ha ha :) Enjoy on a good hot summers day (if you can... it is England so I cross my fingers!)

I tried to take pictures of it but the ice cream was already melting so they weren't good (I was taking them outside and it was around 30 degrees celsius!), however I will try and upload some soon (as I definitely will be making this loads.)

Perfect for this hot summer 

Super Soft and Super Creamy! 

Ingredients 

(Serves 1) 

• 1 frozen banana - note: before freezing cut up into coins and it will be easier to blend
• 1 - 1 1/2 tbs of fave nut butter (Of course I chose peanut butter) - for silky smooth texture I would go with smooth nut butter but it is up to you
• 1 packet of stevia / truvia (or 1 1/2 tsp of maple syrup or honey) 
• YOU MIGHT NEED: 2 tbs of non-dairy milk (like almond milk etc.) 
• Optional: 1 tsp of vanilla essence / 1 tsp of nuts / 1 tsp of chopped dates / 1 tsp of cocoa powder / sprinkling of cacao nibs (I used this in mine) etc. (You can go crazy with this or stick to the 3 main ingredients) 

Method 

1. Chop a banana into coins and put into the freezer for a few hours or until hard 
2. Place frozen banana coins into a high power food processor with the other ingredients and mix until silky smooth 
3. If the food processor is finding this hard then add a bit of milk (not too much unless you want to turn it into a milkshake!) 
4. Enjoy! :)
