Vegan No Churn Ice Cream - Three Flavours!
Description
The recipe demonstrates three distinct vegan ice creams based on frozen bananas blended until creamy with a small amount of plant milk to reach a thick consistency. The strawberry banana version adds frozen strawberries and vanilla extract, producing a fruit-forward taste. The coffee flavor incorporates instant coffee powder, lending a subtle coffee profile. The mint chocolate chip variety uses peppermint extract, optional baby spinach for color, and dark chocolate chips, giving a refreshing minty and chocolate contrast.
The method involves processing all ingredients in a food processor or high-speed blender, scraping down the sides as needed. The mixtures can be enjoyed immediately as soft serve or frozen for 30-60 minutes to firm up for scooping.
Using ripe frozen bananas provides natural sweetness without refined sugar. Optional ingredients and milk amounts can be adjusted for desired texture and flavor intensity. The recipe notes indicate that the spinach is primarily for green coloring in the mint variety and can be omitted if preferred.
This approach offers a flexible, homemade vegan ice cream option that can be customized with different flavors and easily adjusted for texture without specialized equipment.

Instructions
Strawberry Banana Nice Cream Directions
- Add all the ingredients to a food processor or high speed blender and process until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. Enjoy immediately for a soft serve texture. Or freeze for 30-60 minutes for a firmer "scoopable" texture.
Vegan Coffee Ice Cream Directions
- Add all the ingredients to a food processor or high speed blender and process until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. Enjoy immediately for a soft serve texture. Or freeze for 30-60 minutes for a firmer "scoopable" texture.
Mint Chocolate Chip Nice Cream Directions
- Add the frozen bananas, milk and peppermint extract to a food processor or high speed blender and process until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. Then add the spinach (if using) and process to combine.
- Add the chocolate chips and pulse once or twice to fold in. Enjoy immediately for a soft serve texture. Or freeze for 30-60 minutes for a firmer "scoopable" texture.
Notes
- Use very ripe frozen bananas for natural sweetness in vegan ice cream.
- If you don't have frozen bananas, freeze very soft, spotted bananas cut into chunks before use.
- Start with the minimum plant milk amount and increase only if necessary to maintain a thick, creamy texture.
- Spinach in the mint chocolate chip recipe adds green color without noticeable flavor; omit if preferred.
- Food processors may leave small bits of spinach; use a blender for smoother texture.
- Calories vary by flavor; strawberry banana (149), coffee (111), mint chocolate chip (166) per one-third of recipe, including optional ingredients.
