Serves 4

Ingredients

Ripe bananas
3 large, peeled and sliced
Milk
1/2 cup (can substitute with almond milk or coconut milk for a dairy-free option)
Honey
2 tablespoons (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
Vanilla extract
1 teaspoon

Instructions

  1. Peel the ripe bananas and slice them into coins.
  2. Place the banana slices in a ziplock bag and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until completely frozen.
  3. Once the bananas are frozen, transfer them to a blender or food processor.
  4. Add the milk, honey, and vanilla extract to the blender.
  5. Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure everything is well mixed.
  6. Serve immediately as a soft-serve ice cream for a delightful treat, or for a firmer texture, transfer the mixture to a container and freeze for an additional 1-2 hours.
  7. For an extra touch, consider adding mix-ins such as chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or a swirl of peanut butter before serving. Enjoy your homemade banana ice cream!

Tips

  • 💡 Use overripe bananas for the best sweetness and flavor.
  • 💡 Experiment with different flavorings by adding cocoa powder for chocolate banana ice cream or a pinch of cinnamon for added warmth.
