▲Vegan Ingredients: - 1 large ripe banana - 4 tbsp/ 100g Greek yogurt/ regular yogurt - 4 tbsp/100g amazake - 2 tbsp / 15g raisins - 1 ½ tablespoons maple syrup/ honey ★Find Japanese ingredients here . Instructions: 1 Add the maple syrup to a microwave-safe container and heat it at 600W for 20 seconds. Add the raisins and let them soak for 10 minutes. 2 In another container, add the ripe banana, Greek yogurt, and amazake. Mash the banana and mix everything well. 3 Add the raisins soaked in maple syrup(from step1) and mix again.

Enjoy your delicious and healthy raisin banana amazake ice cream! Miwa's advice: 1:If the ice cream is too hard, microwave for about 20 seconds to soften it to the right consistency or leave it at the room temprature for 5-10 mins. 2: Greek yogurt creates a very creamy and rich texture.If you prefer a lighter texture, try using regular yogurt instead. 3: For those who are not used to it, amazake can have a distinct flavor at first. In that case, try reducing the amount of amazake and replacing it with your preferred sweetener to start.
