  • Bananas – best when ripe. The sweetest ones are yellow with brown spots.
  • Black Tea Powder – I used the Lipton decaffeinated brand, below

  • Sweetened Condensed (Coconut) Milk – If you love milk tea, I bet you already know that the best tasting milk teas are sweetened with Sweetened Condensed Milk. The addition of condensed milk adds a richness and subtle creaminess to the beverage, and does the same for this ice cream recipe! To keep it vegan, we can use this dairy-free Sweetened Condensed Coconut Milk, which you can buy online, below

  • If you don’t have any sweetened condensed milk, you’re welcome to use honey or agave syrup instead.
  • Boba “Bubbles” – I used crystal boba bubbles, which are made from konjac, and do not need to be cooked (they’re also lower in calories, too!). But since the boba bubbles are only used as a topping in this recipe, you can also use any kind or brand of boba bubbles you have.

Enjoy!

How to Make this Ice Cream Healthier

  • Make this even healthier by adding a handful of nuts, or seeds to add texture and nutrition before freezing.
  • For a small protein boost, you can also add a tablespoon or two of protein powder of your choice when blending. I’ve tried using an unsweetened plant-based protein powder with good results.

What are some ways you can eat these?

  • In a bowl or cup, drizzled with honey, maple syrup, caramel or chocolate syrup
  • Stacked on a waffle or sugar cone
How to Make Boba / Bubble Tea Ice Cream (Easy Vegan Recipe) - bubble tea ice cream

How to Store Bubble Tea Ice Cream

  • This ice cream needs to be stored in the freezer and tastes best within a few days, but it can be frozen for up to 3 months. For the best ice cream consistency, take the container out of the freezer and let sit out at room temperature for 10 mins when you’re ready to eat. If it’s in a microwaveable container, you can also microwave it for 15 seconds until softened.
  • The crystal boba / bubbles should be stored in the fridge, separate from the ice cream.

Final Tips

  • Use ripened bananas for the best results!
  • While a food processor will give you the best consistency for the ice cream, you can also use a high-powered blender (such as Vitamix) that comes with a tamper. Use the tamper to push the ingredients into the blades of the blender, and add 2-4 Tbsp of almond milk if needed.

Ingredients
  

Nice Cream

  • 3 medium bananas , about 300 grams sliced
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp unsweetened tea powder
  • 3-4 Tbsp sweetened condensed coconut milk , or sweetener of choice

Deco

  • 1/4 cup prepared "boba" bubbles

Instructions
 

  • Peel and freeze bananas until completely solid, about 8 hours
  • Slice the frozen bananas to 1 inch slices
  • In a food processor or high-powered blender with a tamper* blend frozen banana slices with unsweetened tea powder and sweetener until smooth
  • Do a quick taste test, and blend in more sweetener if desired**
  • Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the freezer until ready to eat
  • Sprinkle with boba bubbles

Notes

*While a food processor will give you the best results, you can also use a high-powered blender (such as Vitamix) that comes with a tamper. Use the tamper to push the ingredients into the blades of the blender to ensure the best consistency, and add an additional 2-4 Tbsp of almond milk if needed.
**If you’re using fully ripened bananas you do not need to add any sweetener, but if you want sweeter ice cream,  you can add up to 1/4 cup of granulated or liquid sweetener of your choice, such as honey, maple syrup, coconut sugar or regular sugar. For a lower calorie option, I’ve used sugar-free sweeteners with good results, such as monk fruit sweetener and stevia (just be sure to convert according to package instructions).
