Prep: 5 Minutes | Cooking time: 2 hours | Servings: 2
Ingredients
2 bananas (medium-large)
Mixed berries to serve
Frozen Strawberry Yogurt
2 cups frozen strawberries
½ cup unsweetened plant-based yogurt
Juice from ½ lemon
4 Tbsp date paste
Vegan Caramel Sauce
1 cup date paste
2 Tbsp plant-based milk
1 tsp vanilla
¼ cup almond butter
Juice from ½ lemon or lime
Pinch of salt (optional)
Method
Frozen Strawberry Yogurt
- Place all the yogurt ingredients in a blender and process for approximately 3 minutes.
- Place in the freezer for at least 4–6 hours, or until firm and serve immediately. If frozen for more than 6 hours, the ice cream will solidify and become too difficult to scoop out.
Vegan Caramel Sauce
- Place all the sauce ingredients in a blender and process for approximately 3 minutes.
- Pour the sauce into a container and cover with a lid. Keep refrigerated.
To Assemble the Banana Split
- Peel the bananas and cut in half lengthwise and place on two plates or bowls.
- Place a couple of scoops of the Strawberry Frozen Yogurt between the banana halves.
- Drizzle the vegan caramel sauce on top and add mixed berries.
- Serve immediately.
Cooking Tips
- Replace the Strawberry Frozen Yogurt with Nice Cream or Vegan Chocolate Ice Cream
- Add additional toppings of your choice, such as nuts or seeds.
- Drizzle a plant-based chocolate sauce instead of or in addition to the caramel sauce.
- The Frozen Strawberry Yogurt works really well in a Ninja Creami or your favorite ice cream maker. If using a Ninja Creami, just blend all the ingredients until smooth. Then transfer the mixture to the ice cream container and freeze for a minimum of 24 hours before processing.
