Apricot banana ice cream (vegan, GF)

July 26, 2016 By travellingoven 2 Comments

It’s really hot in Croatia these days as it should be in July really so no complaining here! So naturally I’ve been craving a lot of fresh food like watermelon, peaches, apricots, smoothies, cereals with cold almond milk etc and one of the things I’ve been craving these hot summer days is ice cream.

Now it’s two years exactly since I had my last ‘real’ ice cream and even if my health/digestion is soooo much better now and I am finally almost entirely symptom-free, I still don’t eat some of the food that was making me sick and gave me a lot of digestion  and other health problems. I guess I have quite a strong will and I also eat very delicious food all the time so not missing out much but I do admit that from time to time, that craving for ice cream strikes!

Specially when it’s so hot outside and everybody around me have ice cream in their hands. But whenever that happens I make banana ice cream that is similar to the real deal, refreshing, cold, sweet and delicious.

I tried quite a few different flavours and some I already shared here on the blog (like this Chocolate banana ice cream or this Cherry banana ice cream) but now I have a new favourite! This Apricot banana ice cream is so creamy, refreshing and delicious and I love it as soft serve, meaning served immediately after making when it’s cold and creamy but you can also use ice cream molds and put it in the freezer for later. Apricots in combination with frozen bananas and coconut cream make this a real summer treat that I’m sure you’ll love as much as I do! Let me know if you make it as I  always love hearing from you! 🙂

Prep time
10 mins
Total time
10 mins
 
Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 2
Ingredients
  • 2 large frozen bananas, previously sliced and frozen
  • 4 large apricots, pit removed and previously frozen
  • 2 tbsp coconut cream (from can of coconut milk that you kept in the fridge)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Topping: coconut flakes, cacao nibs
  • Note: if your food processor / blender is not strong enough, you can use fresh (not frozen) apricots or 2 frozen and 2 fresh so it's easier to blend.
  • If you like sweeter desserts, you can add a bit of maple or agave syrup.
Preparation
  1. Put all the ingredients into food processor and process until smooth and creamy. Taste and add a bit of agave syrup for sweetness if needed.
  2. Serve immediately (it melts quickly!) in glasses with blackberries or other fresh or frozen berries on bottom and top with coconut flaked and cacao nibs.
  3. You can also put it in a plastic container and in the freezer for at least 2-3 hours but make sure you stir it with a spoon few times while in the freezer to prevent ice crystals from forming. Enjoy!

Hi! I’m Lili and I’m so happy
to welcome you on my blog!

First things first. Why Travelling oven you’re wondering? Well, when this blog was created I had been living as an expat for about 8 years in beautiful countries like Scotland, Kazakhstan, Switzerland, Turkey...READ MORE...

The last few days since I came back to Zagreb I mo The last few days since I came back to Zagreb I mostly spent doing admin stuff and buying groceries (my fridge was totally empty!) and for breaks I did yoga and re-edited some older photos. So here’s one of them from beautiful winter @plitvicelakesnp, hope you like it...🦆❄️

After three weeks in Dubrovnik, the time has come After three weeks in Dubrovnik, the time has come for me to return to Zagreb. Besides the pandemic reality, in these weeks we had horrible earthquake in Croatia that took lives, destroyed homes and left the whole country in the state of shock. On a personal level we had to face death in the family due to Covid and if somebody tells me ever again that 'they would have died anyway because they were old" I will really lose it!! My little niece and nephew lost their grandmother and we all lost a person we loved. So, it was and still is a difficult time but life taught me many times before that we are stronger than we think and that the most important thing is to find peace within yourself. I still wake up every morning grateful for life, for my people, for photography, for all the little things that make life beautiful. And I dream about all the good things that will come our way... 
Sending you my love and positive thoughts and sharing these not so typical Dubrovnik photos.❤️

I know it's not the most colourful and bright phot I know it's not the most colourful and bright photo for this occasion but it represents what this year has been like for me personally. Difficult, lonely, at times very dark but at the same time with its sweet moments that I get to keep forever in my heart, beauty found in 'ordinary' and sparkles of light that give hope and comfort. I wish that 2021 will bring more freedom, health and happiness for all of us! Thank you for being here with me... ❤️

My favourite moments in these last two days since My favourite moments in these last two days since I came to Dubrovnik are baking ‘orahnjaca’ (Croatian) or ‘potica’ (Slovenian), traditional walnut cake with my mum, harvesting mandarins in our garden with my dad, soaking up the sun that I missed so much after about a month of dark and gloomy days, reading a book on the terrace and stopping every few moments to just look at the sea... All the little things that bring me much needed calm and joy. Hope you are all well and finding your little moments too...☺️❤️

I miss mountains, snow and travelling so here are I miss mountains, snow and travelling so here are few details from the Swiss Alps, a place I called home few years ago... It’s so strange, I am from Dubrovnik, born by the sea and of course I love it but I would choose mountains and forests anytime! It's where my soul is at peace and happiest.☺️❄️How about you?

Drinking hot chocolate and eating gingerbread cook Drinking hot chocolate and eating gingerbread cookies like I don't have a worry on my mind! Yeah right...😅

Comfort food is just the best! I have few that ins Comfort food is just the best! I have few that instantly make me feel better like semolina porridge or spaghetti with fresh tomatoes and basil... Crepes with apricot jam are high up on that list too! 😉 I'm curious, what is your favourite comfort food?

Story behind this image: because of all the festive photos on social media these days, I felt pressured to create some in Christmas mood too. But nothing was going as I imagined and I simply was not feeling it. So I decided to put all that away and create something that reflects more of me and what and how I feel at the moment. So this is one of the images from that series. In the end what matters the most is that we create from our heart.✨
