Banafaba (Deluxe)¶

🌿 Vegan & Dairy-free
Recipe is using only soy milk and protein.

This uses aquafaba in the base, and only one mid-sized banana. Healthy fat is provided by hemp seeds.

Since there are no extra thickeners, the base is relatively fluid. It also leads to a rather watery melt, 1g of CMC or another stabilizer will prevent that.

Process on Sorbet, hold it shortly under running water after that. Then a scrape-down with compaction, and a respin.

Rating: 😋😋😋🍌

Directly after the respin, you get a “soft scoopable” consistency, smooth and crystal-free. It’s a tiny bit gritty — from the hemp seeds? The banana flavor is very mild.

4. Pour into the tub and QUICKLY use an immersion blender on full speed to homogenize everything.
5. Add remaining ingredients (to the MAX line) and stir with a spoon.
6. Before freezing, let it rest in the fridge for at least 2 hours.

8. Process with RE-SPIN mode when not creamy enough after the first spin.
