Description

Create a creamy and delightful ice cream alternative using only frozen bananas. This one-ingredient ‘nice cream’ is a healthy, dairy-free treat that satisfies your sweet cravings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe bananas, peeled, sliced, and frozen


Instructions

  1. Place the frozen banana slices into a food processor or high-powered blender.
  2. Process until the bananas break down into small pieces.
  3. Continue to process, scraping down the sides as needed, until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, resembling soft-serve ice cream. This may take a few minutes.
  4. Serve immediately for a soft-serve consistency, or transfer to an airtight container and freeze for 30-60 minutes for a firmer texture.

Notes

  • Ensure your bananas are ripe for maximum sweetness and creaminess.
  • For a different flavor, you can add a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder or a teaspoon of vanilla extract before blending.
