Equipment
- Blender or food processor
- Freezer-safe container
- Spatula
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bananas ripe and sweet, peeled
- ½ cup Whole milk or any plant-based milk for vegan option
- 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup for vegan option
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract pure
Instructions
- Begin by slicing the ripe bananas into 1-inch pieces. Place them in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until completely frozen.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the frozen banana slices with whole milk, honey, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed with a spatula.
- Once the mixture is a creamy consistency, transfer it to a freezer-safe container. Smooth the top with a spatula for an even surface.
- Place the container in the freezer and let the ice cream set for about 2 hours. Before serving, let it sit on the counter for a few minutes to soften slightly.
Notes
Lori’s Tips
- For an added layer of flavor, consider blending in ingredients like peanut butter, chocolate chips, or nuts.
- To make it vegan, substitute whole milk with almond or coconut milk and use maple syrup instead of honey.
