As an alternative to banana ice cream, try turning the avocado chocolate mousse/pudding into ice cream. An ice cream maker would be perfect. in lieu you could try freezing chunks of avocado and using them kike u use the bananas. Xanthan gum helps the thickening.
Avocado will not have the strong(generally overpowering) flavor. It cam be use with orange zest, lemon juice or zest or even ginger and spices used in pumpkin pie fillings.

These are amazing. I did the chocolate variation with no added sugar dried cranberries and they are to die for. Thanks again for the modification it worked great 🙂

I do have potato starch! Thank you for the suggestion, it’s a rain storm out so I would rather not do a grocery run!

The best replacement for tapioca flour is potato starch [not potato flour] or even cornstarch would work as well. Tapioca has some binding properties that other flours don’t have so if you use chia or almond flour I can’t guarantee that you would have a good result. The chia doesn’t have the thickness of tapioca and so it may make the batter lack substance.

I have everything but the Tapioca flour, is there something I could replace that with? Ground chia seeds or more almond flour? I have coconut flour and xantha gum would any of these work? anyone? :S

Thanks Tandi. I wouldn’t mind a little fat once in awhile. I miss ice cream because I can’t have dairy, and bananas upset my stomach. I will check them out.

I have been thinking about this and for this particular recipe there really isn’t an adequate substitute. Bananas when frozen and blended are so creamy and I don’t know of any other widely available fruit that would work well. I know of cashew based ice creams that you can make in your ice cream maker but they are not low fat. You can check my blog if you are interested in trying them, they are even more delicious, just not as low fat.

Hi Tandy, these look very good. I would love to make the icecream, but I can’t have bananas. Is there a substitute?

Yes, almond milk will work wonderfully. I have used both soymilk and almond milk in this recipe. Enjoy.

For the ice cream would almond milk work just as good as soy milk? Is there a certain brand that you would recommend? I’m going to try this recipe over this coming weekend but I always seem to mess up vegan recipes so I want to make sure if I substitute something it will still work. Making vegan food is somewhat new to me but I put all of mine on my website. http://the-fit-chicks.com. I’m excited to try these though. They look delicious!
