A Guilt-Free No Dairy WFPB Sugar Free Dessert

I am always on the lookout for whole food, plant based desserts that taste delicious like banana whips and cakes. After eating a WFPB diet for the last 2 years, what surprises me most is that I now crave whole food sugar free desserts and no longer want cake and pastries. For real!
This didn’t happen overnight, but took time and lots of testing along with trial and error on finding the foods I like best and ways in which to prepare them to my liking.
What I have found is that simple is the best and this frozen dessert recipe fits right in as it uses only one ingredient and tastes just as good as ice cream.

When trying to eat healthy, I have found that the best vegan and organic desserts are the ones that use only a few ingredients – like fresh fruit.

This Yoananas Frozen Treat machine makes it happen! It turns any frozen fruit into an ice cream/sorbet treat that I know you and your family will love, even if you are not WFPB eaters.
It makes healthy, guilt-free treats in minutes. It is inexpensive and one of the best items I bought to help me eat healthy. A blender or mixer just doesn’t create the same light whipped texture as the Yonanas machine does.
The Yonanas machine works in that it whips the fruit with air as you push it down through the machine and comes out in a creamy texture like ice cream. You have to use frozen fruit that you allow to thaw about 5 – 10 minutes before running it through.
It may take some trial and error getting the fruit thawed just the right amount. If it is too frozen – it comes out chippy – thawed too much – comes out more like a smoothie. I let my fruit thaw for 5 mins. Once you get it right – it is so good and the texture is just the same as ice cream.

Banana whips made in the machine are the most popular, but when I tried frozen grapes – WOW! The taste and texture made me smile – yum!
A bowlful of frozen whipped grapes is kind of a cross between a grape sorbet/sherbet and one of the best non dairy desserts I have ever eaten.
I was truly surprised by the taste and texture. Even if you don’t like red grapes, I think you will like this.
The fun thing when making frozen fruit whips with the Yonanas machine is that you can mix frozen fruits together and other ingredients to come up with many different tasting frozen desserts.
One of my other treats I make with the machine is using frozen bananas to make a banana whip. Once the banana goes through the machine, I add some cocoa powder and PB2 powder which is a peanut butter, but made into a fat-free powder form. When these two ingredients are added, the result tastes just like chocolate peanut butter ice cream.

Well, I was almost sorry I opened this when I saw that delectable looking dish! But, I am impressed with this machine. I read several scathing reviews on Amazon before I got to ONE positive review. They were verified buyers. How long have you had yours? Is it really that easy to use? Clean up easy? I was worried about the number of carbs bc of my diabetic husband, and I don’t need a lot either. Just because it’s fruit doesn’t mean you can pig out on it! I know you know that, some people don’t. Going to have to think about this machine. PS I just ordered Kristen Hong’s new book due out February 1st. I’m excited to get it!
Well, I ordered the machine and love it! I used frozen peaches for a sorbet, nice creamy texture. I set a timer and defrosted the fruit 7 minutes. Easy clean up, I will use it often and not relegate it to the small appliance graveyard in the cabinet, lol.
Thank you, Elaine! LOL, I really want this jewel but I know I don’t “need” another gadget on my counter tops or in my cupboards. But then, what does need have to do with anything, right?
Hi Sharon –
I have had my machine for 7 years. My daughter asked for it for Christmas one year when she was in college, so I knew about it even longer. Cleaning the machine is easy and it can be done in the dishwasher, but I always hand wash mine. The chute section comes off the base in one piece and then you unscrew this to take it apart to clean. Once clean – you lay the parts on top of each other and screw it together. At first you may forget the order, but after a few times it is so easy.
I ordered Kristen Hong’s book also. I am excited to get it. Enjoy it.
Thank you Diane! I know I’ll probably end up with this, sooner or later. Lol
Kristen’s book arrived on Feb 1st. It is gorgeous to look at.
this desert looks wonderful, thank you for all the Plant based recipes, I am always on the lookout for new ones.
I bought one of these last year after you mentioned you liked yours. I love it! I’ve tried all different kinds of combinations, but not just grapes. I’ll try that next. But not this weekend. It’s going to be too cold here in NC!
It is always such a treat to get a WFPB recipe from you but this one really looks like a winner. I need to get the machine but can’t wait to try it.
My marble powder should be in tomorrow. So excited to try it. Thanks so much for your help. You are such a blessing and I always look forward to your posts!
Diane,
THANK you so much for sharing this little gem! I’ve been WFPB for about 4 years now and have made “nice” cream in my food processor many times, but I am going to order one of these as it really does make it easy and looks very creamy.
Been a long-time reader/follower and always look forward to your posts and ingenious ideas! It’s also been fun to follow your journey into the plant-based lifestyle.
Wishing you and your beautiful family a healthy and prosperous 2022!
Cheers and warm wishes,
Stacey :)
