I made this in my 64 oz size container last night and it was a huge hit with the brownies I made. It made a super loud scary noise while I tamped it down so I only blended for 30 seconds. Still, really good! I’m assuming I should use the smaller container size (which I haven’t yet purchased)

Haven’t made it yet….So, likeTari A’s question, can I use my 48 oz container? I don’t think they make a 32 oz for the A3500 series. That’s what I have and I love it. I’d like to try but want to know if a regular size recipe will work in my 48 oz container.

Hey Susan, yes, you can absolutely use the 32-ounce. 🙂

This sounds delicious. I haven’t made it yet, partly because I just found it and mostly because I only have a 64 ounce container with my new A3500. I’ve been considering a smaller container. I’ve checked with Vitamix and the only one compatible with my A3500 is a 48 ounce. I really don’t want a double or triple batch of this, so do you think I can do one batch in the 48 ounce?

Hi Tari, Yes, the 48-ounce will work great for this recipe as it’s listed. 🙂

I am so glad I found this recipe. I had an idea to make ice cream out of some coconut milk I wanted to use up and bananas. I didn’t have to go through the process of trial and error. It is delicious
