You can make coconut flavour, peanut butter, mint chocolate chip or chocolate, without any hassle. All this ice cream talk has made us crave this delicious dessert. So, without any more delay, let's start:

Vegan Ice Cream Recipe:

Ingredients:

1-2 frozen over-ripe bananas (per person)

Splash of any vegan milk

Optional flavours: vanilla, cacao, peanut butter or whatever you have. Berries can also be used but they make the consistency a bit thinner due to the water content.

Method:

Tip: The bananas should have brown spots on them so you know they're super ripe. Also, cut them into smaller pieces before freezing.

For the first step, put the frozen bananas along with the flavour of your choice into a high-speed blender with just a splash of milk (1 tbsp or so). Add more milk only if it won't blend. The more milk you add, the thinner the ice cream gets.

Freeze it for a good 6-7 hours to get the ice cream consistency and then enjoy.

Pro health tip: If you want to make it a little healthier you can add a small handful of white beans to the blender. A good way to add some protein to it without impacting the flavour much.

You can even have this ice cream as breakfast as it is super healthy and well, delicious.
