How to make vegan ice cream with banana and tofu
The vegan banana ice cream recipe requires some blending and freezing. You’ll have to blend ripe frozen bananas, chopped or sliced beforehand, with the rest of the ingredients and leave the mixture in a freezer overnight. If you’re willing to make an extra effort, blend the frozen silken tofu ice cream again and freeze until it’s solid. This will give you a smoother ice cream with smaller ice crystals. However it is an extra step that is only necessary if you have the time. The method as noted in the instructions below gives amazing results as it is. It can also be served as a chocolate pudding or vegan custard if you let it melt a little (if you want more like this, try our silken tofu dessert recipes round up!).

The best bananas to use here are as ripe as possible! Brown and dark spots tell us the bananas are really nice and sweet and perfect to use here. Don’t throw them away just because they’ve gone a bit brown. Make ice cream instead! I hope this vegan tofu ice cream with banana melts your heart. Share your thoughts in the comments!
