Those of you that read my post on the somewhat homemade froyo that I made a few weeks back know that I love ice cream.Since going vegan I've been surprised by how easy it has been to go off of dairy products. I really thought I was going to have a tough time giving up cheese and ice cream.
I've found that I don't even want to eat dairy now because I'm feeling so great.
However, it is summer or spring or maybe I should just calling "hot weather season" and I find myself wanting a cold, creamy dessert. I searched the web and found this Banana Mango Ice Cream recipe and decided it was as good a place to start as any.
I didn't make the chocolate cups but did melt some vegan 72% cocoa bars in a bowl and drizzle it on top. I think the cups would be awesome though!
I have to say that I didn't follow the measurements exactly and that may have affected the consistency of the dessert. I think I ended up with two or three small bananas and one giant mango. Definitely needed more banana.
The next time I make this I will also blend it longer. I probably had it in the food processor for one minute and other recipes I've found say to blend for at least 5 minutes.
Overall, the ice cream had great flavor. However, the carnivore was right when he said it had the consistency of baby food.
