If you are still curious about how to make the popular cultural phenomenon known as "blender ice cream" well I have a nifty video how-to for you today. And to keep things festive for the upcoming 4th of July weekend, I am sharing a Red Strawberry, White Banana and Blueberry-themed Banana Soft Serve flavor.
This creamy and silky blender ice cream tastes amazing and is so healthy! You can easily eat this very tall glass of frosty bliss, guilt-free, at any hour of the day. Dive into vegan banana blender ice cream! How-to video included! Bonus: Also get info on the Peel the Love βBanana Cabanaβ Tour!
Funny Story. I was inspired to do this post because my mom texted me yesterday, after watching my magical shell ice cream topping video, asking how to make vegan banana soft serve.
So. For you mom. I bring this easy how-to video and recipe post π Tip #1: Peel the banana before freezing it!
And this banana soft serve has some 4th of July holiday pizzazz!
Vegan basics: banana soft serve!
Getting a little photoshop artsy. Love the blueberry color best.
Banana Soft Serve Blender Ice Cream
By
Published 07/02/2014
Ingredients
- 2 bananas, frozen
- ΒΌ-1 cup non-dairy milk (use minimal amount as needed to blend)
- optional:
- red layer: Β½ cup frozen strawberries + scoop of banana soft serve + splash of non-dairy milk
- blue layer: Β½ cup frozen blueberries + scoop of banana soft serve + splash of non-dairy milk
Instructions
- Freeze you bananas the night before. Use dark-spotted or very ripe bananas for best flavor, texture and sweetness.
- Add the banana to blender. High speed blenders will produce the thickest consistency of soft serve. (Add banana in pieces or slices - use hands to break large pieces and a knife to slice if desired.)
- Add a few splashes of non-dairy milk. Start minimally. Add more as needed to blend. You may need to stop and scrape sides of container during the blending process. Blend from low to high until smooth.
- Spoon banana soft serve into a chilled dish to serve right away OR scoop into a chilled dish and place back into freezer to firm up a bit to a scoopable state.
- If making red, white and blue flavors, simply blend the red and blue separately and add to container to freeze along side pure banana mixture. Serve and enjoy! Add toppings like chopped nuts, granola, coconut, cacao nibs, fresh fruit, coconut whip and more if desired.

Frozen banana ice cream is the best! I love to add some chocolate, or use coconut water instead of soy milk. These photos just made me crave that! Waiting for my bananas to ripe.. π
