This is so good you should check it out now! Here’s the recipe,
Ingredients
- 11 oz banana (ripe and frozen)
- 9 oz silken tofu
- 5 tbsp cacao powder
- 2 tbsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp sugar (if you have a sweeter tooth add an extra tbsp)
Instructions
- Blend ripe frozen banana , silken tofu , cacao powder , vanilla extract and sugar until homogenous and creamy. 11 oz banana, 9 oz silken tofu, 5 tbsp cacao powder, 2 tbsp vanilla extract, 2 tbsp sugar
- Immediately place in a container with a lid on and freeze overnight.
- Take out of the freezer 10 minutes before serving. Serve 2-3 scoops per person.
NOTES
If you have the time, once the ice cream is mostly frozen take it out, put in the blender, and blend completely again. Take back to the container immediately and freeze until it’s solid again. This will result in a smoother ice cream with smaller ice crystals.
Use very ripe bananas, otherwise you’ll have to add more processed sugar to compensate. Slice or chop them, and freeze them before making the ice cream.
You can serve this chilled, not frozen, like a chocolate pudding/vegan custard.
