I know.
Another Banana Ice Cream Recipe. I just can’t help myself. My 3-year-old is always asking for Banana Ice Cream. So I am always freezing bananas and trying out new recipes for the kids. I have a few others I want to try, so stay tuned. 🙂
Do you know what makes this banana soft serve taste like cheesecake? I added a tablespoon of my Cheesecake butter. The cheesecake butter made this delicious! Don’t have any Cheesecake Butter sitting around? don’t worry, I have written in the recipe below what to add in place of this.
Both of my kids are skinny. My second son is only in the 4th % for weight for his age, and his doctor has advised me to give him lots of whole milk and lots of healthy calories. When I made this for my kids, I used whole milk, but when I made this for me, I used almond milk. ( cashew milk would also be appropriate, although I have not tried it yet)
- 2 frozen bananas
- 1 cup of frozen strawberries
- 1 tablespoon of cashew butter OR 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of vanilla ( extract or ground) and 1/4 cup of soaked cashews ( for at least an hour)
- 1/4 cup of milk ( milk of your choice)
- Add all ingredients into a blender and blend. If your soft serve seems too much like a milkshake, add more frozen fruit.

This looks so good! However I do have a question for you. Is there something that could be used instead of cashews? (allergic to them) If so, I would love to try this!
I would use soaked almonds. If you are allergic to all nuts, I would just use lemon juice, and a nice amount of vanilla to get the effect. I guess you could add some Nilla Wafers for texture- although not the healthiest. 🙂
Oh gosh this looks like a great pick-me-up this summer season here in the Philippines. I would love to have it as a snack, breakfast, or dessert!
I would love to make my own ice cream. I need to give it a try. These flavors look so awesome!
We’ve been making banana ice cream for a few years now. I always make sure to buy extra bananas knowing I will freeze some. They either go in smoothies or we make ice cream. We’ve tried a few variations of flavor over the years. We’ll have to try cheese cake next.
This recipe sounds delicious! I am going to try this since I have most of the ingredients in my pantry (lacing the cheesecake butter). Thanks!
Wow, that looks so scrumptious! I love, love that it is vegan. I’ll definitely have to give this recipe a try sometime!
This looks so delicious. I will have to try making some for my family. I am sure they will love it.
Cheese cake butter? Sounds like a great combo for any kind of fruit shake. I will try this when it gets warm up here, we’re 17 degrees right now!
Yum! This looks and sounds too good! Would love to try this. I bet it’s fantastic!
I’m drooling over here! I am such a huge fan of strawberries and bananas together!
Well this looks like the perfect treat for hanging out in the sun! I’d love to make some of this soft serve!
That looks so yummy and refreshing. I bet my kiddos would love this, me too actually. =) Thanks for the recipe.
This looks so good! I love soft serve ice cream and will have to make this asap!
I love this! SO much! I can have ice cream again! I know it’s not TRUE ice cream, but it actually sounds even better. Thanks!
This is my first to hear of cheesecake butter. It does sound really good!
