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.

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!
