Today I was craving something sweet, so I tried to make frozen banana
puree in my new fancy Vitamix blender (a nondairy mom's dream by the way, but
more about that later!) And I have to tell you, it was DELICIOUS! It
really does taste/feel like soft serve! Here's the recipe:
Banana FauxYo
2 Bananas, sliced and frozen
1/4-cup peanut butter (I used peanut butter but if you have a nut
allergy, sun butter would be delicious in this, or you could omit the nut
butter and just up the milk alternative.)
1/2-cup coconut milk (or other nondairy milk)
Put everything in your
blender, and pulse until well mixed. Next, put the blender on its highest speed
and push the mixture down with a spatula or plunger of some sort. Blend
until smooth! Enjoy immediately or freeze in a plastic zip top baggie for
later! To serve previously frozen fauxyo, squeeze the baggie until
pliable and pipe it into a cone or bowl and enjoy!
nice! I've only done this with plain bananas - no milk. It works - but I'd bet this is better. You can also add cocoa powder for chocolate or cinnamon and vanilla for some variations. It works pretty well in a food processor too (but my Vita mix is definitely a "go to" - 10 years old and doing fine!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had a Vita-Mix. I have a nutribullet (a family favorite), a magic bullet, and some cheap blender from walmart. They all do the jobs I need them to, but a Vitamix would be awesome.
