Dairy Free Chocolate & Vanilla Ice Cream
Hi Foodtube, I'm Amber and I'm going to make for you today my no cream ice cream
basically it's made of one simple ingredient bananas, it's gluten-free
it's dairy free there's no added sugar but it's really great for everybody who even fancies
a change. What we're going to start with is some lovely ripe speckly bananas
if your bananas look like this, forget it, wait until they've ripened put them
in a bag with some apple
just wait until they've got these lovely brown sugar spots, these
lovely freckles and that's the time to eat them so all you need to do with
these lovely beauties
is to chop them up into 1-inch pieces put them in a little zip lock bag
and stick them in the freezer, here's some I've frozen earlier
this is what they look like, this is gonna become our ice cream and all we need to with them
is put them in the food processor now this is a great base for the flavours if you want
to flavour it with cherries or blueberries or mint
bananas in the processor now we're going to add a little bit of vanilla, this a wonderful
ooey, gooey, lovely vanilla pod this is absolutely
fantastic so what we're going to do firstly is take the seeds out you could just chuck the whole
thing in
but I just love the process of doing this and what we're gonna do with them
we're gonna stick them in the processor
We're going to chop up the rest of the pod
and that, basically is it.
Now this is going to be a bit noisy maybe two or three minutes to get it to the right consistency
but here goes, hold tight
Can you see how it's starting to break down it's going to take a few more minutes
to get it to the right consistency
So you can see the texture of this is just just starting to come together
but if you're in a hurry or if you want to looser texture then you can always add a dash of
almond milk for
to keep it raw vegan or if you're vegetarian then a dash of cream would work too
So there we go the perfect consistency look at this, you'd never believe there wasn't a diary product in there
just a perfect soft, lovely
ice cream texture all smooth and silky delicious rich
right let's give it a taste
that is just delicious, the banana flavour
isn't too pronounced and the vanilla just really comes through with a gentle sweetness
and a lovely spiciness. Let's plate some up
Just like wonderful, soft serve ice cream, if you want it
a bit thicker or a bit stiffer than you can stick it back in the freezer
so we're just gonna stick two scoops in each for a bit of difference
we can put in a bit of raw cacao powder to make a raw chocolate version
this is basically what chocolate comes from
but this is in it's raw form, this is unheated, unprocessed
and essentially just a lovely flavouring if you want a
chocolaty, a chocolaty version of ice cream or any other dessert
so we're going to add a two couple tablespoons in here and because this is quite bitter
it's quite nice to balance it with the sweetness of some dates
so I'm just going to stick in four pitted chopped up dates here
I'm going to give this another little process
and we're going to have a chocolaty version, so here we go
so wow look at this, this lovely chocolatey deliciousness
We're just gonna scoop a bit of that on top of our vanilla
ice cream sundae feel
Now if you want to just top it off, we could have a little bit more cacao powder, just gently
sift over, a few cacao nibs for extra crunch
Let's give it a taste
mmm
wow
epic deliciousness
gorgeous, creamy, rich vanilla ice cream which no ice cream with a lovely
chocolatey twist just absolutely delicious
