Vegan 3 Ingredient Rum and Raisin Ice Cream

Vegan Rum & Raisin Ice Cream

Here's another banana-based ice cream and it's Rum & Raisin this time. To make this vegan dessert that requires no cream, sugar or ice cream maker, I used a teaspoon of rum and some raisins I'd pre-soaked to soften and plump them up. Today I brought out my immersion blender which is what I'll stick with from here on because it worked the best for making this type of ice cream. It cleans up the easiest, compared to a blender or food processor.

For a non-alcoholic dessert use rum extract instead of dark rum.

Vegan 3 Ingredient Maple Walnut Ice Cream

3 Ingredient Ice Cream

Bananas are the secret ingredient in this vegan dessert that requires no cream, sugar or ice cream maker. I didn't think the Coffee Almond Crunch ice cream could be improved upon, but was feeling guilty to have avoided the circuitous route outlined by the originators of this delectable dessert. 

So the blender with the small container was retrieved and I blended the heck out of the frozen banana slices until it liquified, froze it again, stirred the walnuts into it and froze it until it was served. I was expecting it to be creamier because all that air had been blended into it, but to be honest, I think the blender step was redundant.

Get ready for a new dessert experience! There is no cream or any dairy product in this ice cream and it also has no added sugar. That makes it diabetic-friendly which makes me very happy. I saw this concept on Pinterest some time ago but only today got around to trying it out. It uses just 3 ingredients, is very simple to make and tastes really good! But best of all, there's no need to haul out that ice cream maker.
