Vegan banana ice cream: lactose-free and creamy
Today I'm going to show you how to make delicious, creamy and, above all, vegan banana ice cream. Ideal for anyone who wants to or has to do without animal ingredients or cow's milk products.
Of course, the recipe is also suitable for anyone who simply wants to try something new. I myself have to say that I simply tolerate recipes without cow's milk better. Maybe you feel the same way?
With plant-based milk and cream (e.g. from soy, oats, almonds, coconut), the ice cream is just as creamy and definitely healthier than with cow's milk. Any plant or nut milk is suitable for this great ice cream recipe.

Notes
Tips and tricks for vegan banana ice cream
- Use ripe bananas for a particularly sweet and aromatic ice cream. You can recognize ripe bananas by the brown speckles that form on the surface. If you have very ripe bananas where the skin is already completely brown, it is best to reduce the amount of sugar and add a little more lemon juice.
- Experiment with different plant-based milk alternatives such as almond, coconut, soy or oat drinks. I like the combination of soy milk without sugar from Alpro (e.g. Alpro soy drink - Vegan and dairy-free - Naturally lactose-free and low in fat - Rich in plant-based proteins from € 19.92 (€ 2.49 / l))* and oat cream (from Oatly) is best. Make sure that the recipe is calculated for unsweetened plant-based drinks.
- If you want the topping to be a little more elaborate, you can also use Caramelize nuts or oat flakes or a Peanut Caramel Sauce or Vegan caramel sauce with coconut combine with it. All the recipes can be prepared in just a few minutes, but will turn your banana ice cream into a very special treat.
- Vegan banana ice cream is particularly delicious when combined with chocolate chips, cocoa powder, cocoa nibs, cinnamon powder, toasted grated coconut or coconut chips and various berries. If you want something unusual, try adding cardamom powder or matcha powder to your ice cream. You can find links to the products below.
