Ingredients
- 4 ripe bananas
Instructions
- Prepare the Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them into small, evenly sized pieces to ensure quick freezing and easy blending.
- Freeze the Banana Slices: Arrange the banana slices in a single layer on a baking sheet to prevent clumping and freeze for at least 2 hours until fully frozen.
- Blend the Frozen Bananas: Transfer the frozen banana slices to a food processor or powerful blender. Blend until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
- Serve or Store: Enjoy the banana ice cream immediately for a soft-serve texture, or freeze it for additional firmness and later consumption.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas with brown spots for the best sweetness and flavor.
- For variation, add a splash of vanilla extract, cocoa powder, or a handful of berries before blending.
- This recipe is naturally vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free.
- Consume immediately for a soft-serve texture or store in the freezer for firmer consistency.
- If the ice cream gets too hard in the freezer, let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving.
