There's nothing like eating a delicious ice cream made by feeding any combination of frozen fruit like bananas, strawberries, raspberries, mangoes, and pineapple through a Champion Juicer using the blank screen. However, here are a few simple recipes for nondairy frozen treats that you can make with just an ice cream maker or a blender:
Carob Ice Cream
3 cups unsweetened, nondairy milk, e.g. rice milk
2 tbsp. alcohol-free pure vanilla
1 cup almond or cashew butter
3/4 cup vegan, unsweetened vegan carob chips
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
Blend until smooth and leave in freezer overnight, or freeze in ice cream maker.
Strawberry Ice Cream
1 package of silken tofu (e.g. Nasoya), drained
3/4 cup unsweetened, nondairy milk
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
2 tsp. alcohol-free, pure vanilla
12-16 frozen and partially thawed strawberries*
Blend until smooth and leave in freezer overnight, or freeze in ice cream maker.
*To make banana ice cream, substitute two ripe bananas for the strawberries.
Chunky Monkey Banana Ice Cream**
6 bananas, ripe
3 tbsp. nut butter
3 tbsp. vegan, unsweetened carob chips
