Coffee nice cream 💚

The first KitchenAid accessory I remember us getting was this ice cream maker attachment. This was almost 20 years ago.

In recent years, I couldn't help but wonder why plant-based recipes sometimes stray so very far from traditional ones. Why do I struggle with frozen bananas in my food processor or blender instead of just blending it all up and churning like regular ice cream? Sometimes there's a good reason, but I can assure you that this can be made in the traditional style if you like, just make sure everything is COLD. You can also use a food processor, blender, or probably a ninja creami!

It's all going to taste about the same, the key is matching the flavors you want. I was recently inspired by @alisaeatsplants salted date caramel nice cream, so I got a big 'ol bunch of bananas and then went on a total tangent baking sourdough 😆 After all that, I split the nice cream into two batches and made the coffee one first because I had a hankering. I dialed up the flavor a bit, you can reduce by ½ tsp in vanilla and coffee if you want... You do you!! 😊

📌 RECIPE
4 average bananas, ripe
1½ tsp vanilla extract
2½ tsp decaf instant coffee crystals
1 date, briefly soaked

I blended until creamy, chilled, then churned, but you could follow any nice cream method you like!!
