A quick and easy dairy-free dessert featuring a creamy frozen banana base mixed with crunchy Valentine’s Day cookies, perfect for a festive and comforting treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium frozen bananas, peeled and sliced
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) almond milk (unsweetened or oat milk as substitute)
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 cup Valentine’s Day cookies, roughly chopped (e.g., pink sugar cookies or heart-shaped shortbread)
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
  • A few drops red food coloring (optional)
  • Sprinkles or edible glitter for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice 3 medium ripe bananas into thin rounds. Freeze for at least 2 hours or overnight until rock solid (about 300 grams total).
  2. Add frozen banana slices, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 cup almond milk, and 2 tablespoons powdered sugar into a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend on high until smooth and creamy, scraping down sides as needed (2-3 minutes).
  3. If desired, add a few drops of red food coloring and pulse gently to mix evenly.
  4. Transfer the creamy banana base to a mixing bowl. Gently fold in 1 cup roughly chopped Valentine’s Day cookies and optional 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Serve immediately for soft-serve consistency or transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 1 to 2 hours for a firmer texture.
  6. Before serving, garnish with sprinkles or edible glitter if desired.

Notes

Slice bananas thin before freezing for smoother blending. Avoid over-blending to prevent mushy texture. Fold in cookies gently to keep them crunchy. Freeze leftovers in airtight container up to 3 days. Let thaw 10 minutes before serving. Use plant-based milk for vegan version. Adjust sweetness to taste.
