Banana Ice Cream
Banana ice cream is creamy and sweet, and only uses one ingredient! This refreshing, cool treat is possibly the easiest homemade ice cream you can make.
Ingredients
- 6 ripe to overripe bananas
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Peel and slice bananas into ⅛ to ¼-inch slices.
- Lay the banana slices on the prepared baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the freezer. Freeze the sliced bananas for 1 hour.
- Remove the frozen banana slices from the freezer.
- Add ½ of the frozen slices to either a food processor or a blender.
- Pulse the frozen bananas 5 to 7 times, then purée for 2½ to 3 minutes. The ice cream mixture will go from very lumpy to finally a soft-serve ice cream consistency. Spoon the mixture into a loaf pan. Blend the remaining frozen bananas. Cover pan with plastic wrap and place back in the freezer for 1½ to 2 hours until firmly set. Scoop and serve.
Notes
This frozen banana ice cream is a great way to use over-ripe bananas. The softer the banana, the naturally sweeter the ice cream.
If using a blender, you will need to blend the bananas in batches.
You can scoop the banana ice cream, dip it in a chocolate magic shell and sprinkle it with chopped nuts if you'd like.
