Dairy Free Coffee Ice Cream
This Dairy Free Coffee Ice Cream uses only four ingredients. I'm not going to say it's healthy, but... it's definitely a healthier ice cream choice.
Ingredients
- 3-4 sliced frozen bananas
- 1/4 cup of very strong espresso coffee (at room temp)
- honey/sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (I prefer coffee extract if you can find it, but vanilla is easier to find!)
Instructions
Brew coffee. I made my coffee and sweetened with just a bit of sugar to my liking, as I was worried the ice cream would turn out a bit bitter.
- Let it cool.
- In a food processor, add the frozen bananas, coffee, and vanilla extract.Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Take it back to the freezer for an hour.
Recipe Notes
This amount serves about 2 scoops for 2 people - but if you're like me, it's just good enough for ONE person!I would consider this a yellow container treat swap, but some people count it as purple. If you'd like to count it as purple, be sure to remember that half of a banana is one purple container.

This sounds yummy, but I hate bananas! Does it have any banana taste to it at all?
Becca says
If you don’t like bananas, I might try making sure that mine were very ripe. I love bananas, but don’t taste them in the ice cream.
Linda says

Becca says
Hi Linda,

Looks yummy, I can’t wait to give it a try tonight! Though you say you can’t call it healthy, I don’t see anything that’s not healthy about bananas. Can’t wait to try!

Hello, I am new to this 21 day fix and just came across this dessert – which looks delicious by the way! I have a question though, how come this counts as a container Serving of yellow when it is a banana? I would think it is purple.
Thank you.
Becca says
Hi Jen! Because of the honey, I count it as a yellow container treat swap instead of a straight banana. :)

Thank you! We make many frozen banana-based ice creams, but never thought to try coffee!! Brilliant! I make my own cold brew concentrate and will try using that. Also, we use a Vitamix, and you can eat the ice cream immediately, as a thick soft-serve. I also keep an eye out for when the grocery store bags ripe bananas and discounts them. Then I slice and freeze them for use in ice cream, or thaw for baking (banana bread, etc.).

Can I put this in my ice cream maker?

Hi Becca,
The first time I made this ice cream, I liked the texture overall but thought the banana came through a little too strongly. I have made it a few times since and I like to make my espresso using instant coffee packets. If you use a little extra coffee powder while brewing your coffee, I find that it neutralizes the flavor of the banana and makes it a little less overpowering. After that slight adjustment, the ice cream’s flavor improved drastically. Great recipe!
