Vegan banana split with waffles
Two weeks ago, we presented our recipe for a vegan brownie sundae. Today another classic sundae follows: a vegan banana split! If you always look sadly through the ice cream menu, because there is no vegan vanilla ice cream or even plant-based whipped cream – this is your day! We wrote down our recipe for a vegan banana split.
The banana split comes originally from North America. After the Second World War, the banana split came to Germany and is now one of the ice cream classics on every ice cream menu. (Wikipedia). We love the combination of ice cream, whipped cream, and bananas and combined it with soft and freshly-baked waffles. You can find the recipe for our vegan waffles here but also below in the post!
We are very happy that LUVE supported us with this recipe. All products from LUVE are based on local lupins (from Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania) and thus support the regional agriculture - completely without genetic engineering. LUVE's ice cream is naturally lactose-free, gluten-free (except for the biscuit flavors), soy-free and super delicious. Besides the packaging is 100% biodegradable! You can find the products of LUVE at Kaufland, Aldi Nord, Veganz or at online delivery services.
