This ice cream is completely raw so I didn't use the arrowroot as we use it conventionally in cooked foods to thicken a liquid which is already boiling. However, I think it has a thickening effect, in this case making the ice cream creamy instead of icy. The combination of almond milk and butter, coconut milk and arrowroot definitely worked well for this ice cream. To replace arrowroot I would probably use either a little more almond butter (although it's quite expensive) or coconut milk (but then the ice cream might turn out too coconutty, whereas we should taste the banana first). Let me know if you make it! Mihl, you can definitely try without arrowroot.

So easy to make.I wonder if this works without arrowroot, since, if I understand it correctly, the ice cream is not heated to thicken up? What a fantastic combination!
