3-ingredient vegan Mounds "ice cream"
Hold on, hold on. Let me just lick this sharp metal food processor blade clean.
Aaaaaand… ok.
First, if you’ve never made banana soft serve, you:
- Don’t read food blogs
- Don’t have a food processor
- Don’t have a soul
You decide. This is the easiest, cheapest, healthiest, fastest dessert you can make. Are you with me now? Good.
I’ve made many a flavor (cherry, blueberry, peach, peanut butter, chocolate…) but today’s combo is pulling into the lead for BEST.EVER.
Chocolate coconut. Yep.
I simply combined: 1 frozen banana, 1 Tbsp cocoa powder (unsweetened), and 1 tsp coconut butter in a mini food processor until smooth.
And then I ate it. Really quickly.
Photographed to gone in 6 seconds flat.
And in case anyone was wondering… this is what my food photo studio really looks like:
OK then.
Coconut butter…great idea for an add in!
For a minute I wondered if I was indeed without a soul, but mostly I haven’t made banana soft serve beause bananas make my skin itchy. TMI? Nah. Your Mounds “ice cream” might be cause to be uncomfortable for a while though. Mmmm Mounds… better yet, mmmmmm Almond Joy…
Truth. If I’d had almond butter you better believe it would’ve been in there…
Ha! The “food” section of our local paper in Birmingham featured Banana soft-serve above the fold. The article said that it was “very popular on the internet.” Indeed.
This is my go-to post-workout recover snack. Usually plain banana with a huge glob of PB or Almond Butter with Honey (local) on top. Boom.
I love this flavor combo! I like to get my coconut butter really melty and then drizzle it over the chocolate banana softserve. Then it hardens like a shell!
Okay, I read food blogs erry day, have a food processor, and am pretty sure I’ve got a soul. Oops.
But in all fairness,#2 is brand spankin’ new. Let the banana soft serve making begin!
I loooove banana soft serve. My favorite version is a frozen banana, a little bit of almond milk, and a little bit of peanut butter. I am going to have to try it with coconut butter, that sounds amazing.
Banana Soft Serve FTW. I can’t believe this exists. I just ate it. Mind officially blown.
YES. glad to hear it. now it is your responsibility to spread this knowledge to others.
What kind of food processor do you recommend? I am about to buy a juicer and the two are similar but I feed like I need them for separate functions.
hey galen! i’m actually just using the mini food processor attachment that came with my cuisinart immersion blender (http://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-CSB-77-Blender-Chopper-Attachments/dp/B0006G3JRO). our nice monster food processor was a gift i gave stew so it’s with him. unfortunately, i can’t remember what it was! but yes, you’ll definitely want a food processor in addition to a juicer. they won’t accomplish the same things…
