    Sugar Free Chocolate Banana Ice Cream

     
    This is really an easy ice cream recipe to make that does not have sugar in it.
    Even better, this sugar free ice cream recipe is vegan as well!

     

    Did you try my Sugar Free (Copycat 'Nutella') Hazelnut Spread recipe?

    I would love to know how this ice cream comes out if you decide to add that to this ice cream.
    You could simply add a few teaspoons or substitute the sugar free peanut butter and the cocoa with it.

     

    I am so excited about some of the cool and helpful food storage items that I have found online!

    You can find Genius Ideas for Food Storage here!

    My first thought about this recipe was to know is banana ice cream good for you.

    You see, I love ice cream. However, not all ice cream is all that healthy for you from what I have heard.

    This recipe for ice cream is really based upon the bananas that are added to it.

    This recipe calls for none of the ingredients such as sugar and fat (from dairy) that you would expect from a normal ice cream.
    Yes, this is a dairy free and vegan recipe for ice cream in case you were wondering!

     

    There is a bit of banana prep that includes knowing how to freeze bananas.

    I once made the mistake of freezing bananas still in their peel. Freezing bananas in their peel results in a really difficult task of having to peel the frozen banana before you can add it to a recipe or eat it.

    Here is how to prepare your bananas for use in this ice cream recipe.
    First off, a firm banana will be easier to slice so use more firm, yet ripe, banana.
    Slice the banana into 1 to 1 ยฝ inch slices and then place the bananas in a freezer safe storage container and allow them to freeze for at least 2 ยฝ hours.
     

    Here are some tips Sugar Free Chocolate Banana Ice Cream

    I just mentioned that you should prepare the bananas by peeling them and then slicing them into 1 to 1 ยฝ inch slices before placing them freezer safe storage container and allow them to freeze for at least 2 ยฝ hours. You can even freeze the bananas overnight if desired.

    Here are some more helpful banana ice cream tips for you.

    1. I like the idea of slicing the bananas on a parchment paper that can be used to also transport the bananas in and out of the freezer. Even better, line a rimmed baking sheet with the parchment paper before you place the banana slices on it.
    2. This recipe calls for peanut butter. You can find sugar free peanut butter here. I also have recipes for how to make sugar free peanut butter here and Sugar Free Almond Butter here.
    3. This recipe for ice cream can be made in a food processor. However, I am a huge fan of my Vitamix Blender and like to use that instead.
    4. If the blended bananas seem to thick for your liking, feel free to add a few ice cubes or a bit of milk or vegan milk to thin out the texture.
    5. Even thought this recipe for ice cream is good just the way it is, you can certainly amp up your ice cream with an extra ingredient or two. I am referring to sugar free chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or even some (chopped up most likely) sugar free candy!

     

    You can easily make this a sugar free one ingredient ice cream recipe.

    To do so simply omit everything but the bananas. Follow the steps for freezing and processing the bananas to make this (the texture will be a bit different and it may take some more work to get your desired texture).

      Hi there - wondering if you or any of your followers have tried powdered peanut butter in the recipe and how that worked. I would add water and make it peanut butter consistency before adding. Thanks!
