Description
Make a creamy, dairy-free frozen dessert using only three simple ingredients. This recipe requires no ice cream maker.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ripe bananas, peeled and frozen
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or other milk)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Slice the frozen bananas into small chunks. Place the chunks into a strong food processor or high-powered blender.
- Pulse the banana pieces until they break down into small crumbs. Stop and scrape down the sides as needed.
- Add the almond milk and vanilla extract. Continue blending, stopping frequently to scrape the sides, until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, resembling soft-serve ice cream. This may take 3 to 5 minutes depending on your machine.
- Serve immediately for a soft-serve texture, or transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 1 to 2 hours for a firmer scoopable texture.
Notes
- For a thicker result, use less liquid initially. Add more milk one tablespoon at a time if the mixture struggles to blend.
- If you prefer a chocolate flavor, add 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder with the milk.
- For a peanut butter flavor, add 2 tablespoons of peanut butter during the final blending stage.
