I remember the first time I tried banana ice cream. A friend of mine, a health nut named Sarah, swore it was the best thing since sliced bread. I was skeptical. I mean, could frozen bananas really taste like ice cream? Turns out, Sarah was right! It's creamy, naturally sweet, and unbelievably easy to make. Forget about store-bought ice cream loaded with sugar and additives – this is the real deal.
What's great about this recipe is its simplicity. You literally need bananas, a freezer, and a blender or food processor. That's it! No fancy ingredients, no complicated steps. It's perfect for those moments when you need a quick and healthy dessert fix. Plus, it's a fantastic way to use up those overripe bananas that are sitting on your counter. You know, the ones you meant to bake into banana bread but never got around to?

📖 Instructions
- Peel your ripe bananas: Make sure your bananas are ripe—they should have plenty of brown spots. The riper the banana, the sweeter and creamier your ice cream will be.
- Slice the bananas: Cut the peeled bananas into 1-inch thick slices. This will help them freeze more evenly and blend easier later on. Pro tip: Use a serrated knife for cleaner cuts.
- Freeze the banana slices: Lay the banana slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This prevents them from sticking together during freezing. Freeze for at least 2 hours, or until solid. I usually leave them in overnight.
- Blend the frozen bananas: Remove the frozen banana slices from the freezer and place them in a high-speed blender or food processor. If you're using a regular blender, you might need to add a splash of milk (dairy or non-dairy) to help it blend.
- Blend until smooth: Pulse the blender or food processor a few times to break up the frozen banana slices. Then, blend continuously until the mixture transforms into a smooth, creamy consistency. This might take a few minutes, and you might need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender or food processor a few times.
- Serve immediately: Once the banana ice cream is smooth and creamy, serve it immediately. It will melt quickly! You can enjoy it as is, or add your favorite toppings like chocolate chips, nuts, berries, or a drizzle of honey.
- Optional: For a softer serve consistency, transfer the blended banana ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for another 30-60 minutes before serving. This will help it firm up a bit without becoming too hard. But tbh? I usally just eat it straight away.
📝 Notes
- For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon before blending.
- If your blender struggles to blend the frozen bananas, add a tablespoon of milk (dairy or non-dairy) at a time until it reaches a blendable consistency.
