Healthier Twist: This isn’t just any ice cream – it’s a more wholesome take on a classic indulgence. Using bananas as the base not only gives the ice cream a naturally sweet and creamy texture but also adds a boost of nutrients, including fiber, potassium, and vitamins. Unlike traditional ice creams that are loaded with heavy cream and sugar, this version allows you to indulge without feeling weighed down by extra calories and fat. The bananas provide enough sweetness that you won’t need to add much, if any, refined sugar. It’s a dessert that satisfies your sweet tooth while still aligning with a healthier lifestyle, making it a great option for anyone looking to enjoy a treat with a little less guilt.

Substitutions

Banana: Use ripe, slightly spotted but not yet spoiled bananas. Bananas will sweeten as they ripen, so having ripe bananas with spots will work best as opposed to fresh, firm, slightly green or super yellow ones. Do not substitute these.

Cashew Butter: Cashew butter should only have one ingredient – roasted cashews. This provides a buttery, rich base with healthy fats, that works well for a cake batter flavor than any other nut butter. Texture-wise, the next best substitute would be almond butter.

Maple Syrup: Use pure maple syrup, not pancake syrup (there should only be one ingredient on the label, not corn syrup and ten other things)! Swap out with agave nectar.

Sprinkles: Not all sprinkles are vegan because they can contain animal-derived ingredients. Common culprits include confectioner’s glaze (shellac), which gives sprinkles a shiny appearance but is made from lac bug secretions, and gelatin, used as a binding agent, which is derived from animal collagen. Additionally, carmine, a red dye made from crushed cochineal insects, beeswax for coating, and milk derivatives like casein are often found in non-vegan sprinkles. To ensure your sprinkles are vegan-friendly, look for those specifically labeled as vegan, which avoid these ingredients.

Banana Birthday Cake Ice Cream Recipe Notes

• To get the best texture, slice your bananas before freezing them. Freeze the slices in a freezer-safe container, so they’re ready to go for this recipe.
