Vegan chocolate icecream

This is banana ice cream, also known as nice cream, with a serious twist. Yes, you can definitely taste the banana, but Vanilla Date is what makes it really special. The almond butter with dates and vanilla gives the ice cream a rich, smooth flavour and a delicious swirl in every scoop. Combined with frozen banana, coconut milk and pieces of date, it makes an easy vegan and gluten-free dessert. So you can share a bowl of ice cream without having to check every packet first. Just ice cream made with pure ingredients, without any unnecessary extras. Enjoy!

This is how you make it

  1. Slice the bananas and freeze them at least one night in advance.
  2. Place the can of TerraSana coconut whipping cream in the fridge at least one night in advance. If using coconut milk, make sure you choose one with a high coconut and fat content. Coconut whipping cream has a fat content of 30%.
  3. Cut the dates into small pieces.
  4. Add the frozen banana slices to a blender.
  5. Scoop 100 g of the thick part of the coconut milk from the can and add it to the banana, along with the maple syrup and vanilla extract.
  6. Blend until you have an ice cream consistency. Then add the date pieces.
  7. Swirl the Vanilla Date through the ice cream with a knife to create a marbled effect.
  8. Scoop into bowls with an ice cream scoop. Serve immediately or return to the freezer briefly to make the scoops a little firmer.
  9. Top with some extra Vanilla Date and/or date pieces, if you like.

Tip(s)

  • It’s best to serve the nice cream straight away, or after no more than 1 to 2 hours in the freezer. Avoid storing it in the freezer for too long, as ice crystals may form.
  • Prefer a different nut butter? We recommend almond butter, hazelnut butter or cashew butter.
  • Instead of juicy Medjool dates, you can also use regular dates. In that case, use double the amount, so 6 dates.
