Indulge guilt-free with this incredibly simple and delicious 0 Point Ice Cream made from just one ingredient: ripe bananas! Perfect for those following a healthy or Weight Watchers-friendly lifestyle, this naturally sweet treat requires no added sugars, dairy, or artificial ingredientsβjust your freezer and a blender. With only 10 minutes of prep time, this velvety, soft-serve-style "ice cream" is a wholesome way to satisfy your dessert cravings. Whether eaten plain or elevated with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit or a dash of cinnamon, this creamy banana ice cream is the ultimate easy and refreshing treat thatβs as nutritious as it is indulgent.
Peel the ripe bananas and cut them into thin slices, roughly 1/4 inch thick.
Place the banana slices in a single layer on a baking sheet or a tray lined with parchment paper.
Transfer the tray to your freezer and freeze the banana slices for at least 2-3 hours, or until fully frozen.
Once the banana slices are frozen, remove them from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes to soften slightly.
Place the frozen banana slices into a high-powered blender or a food processor.
Blend the bananas on high speed, stopping to scrape down the sides of the blender/processor as needed. The bananas will first turn crumbly and then creamy as you continue blending.
Blend until the mixture reaches a smooth and creamy consistency, similar to soft-serve ice cream.
Enjoy the banana ice cream immediately for a soft-serve texture, or transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for 1-2 hours for a firmer texture.
Serve plain or with optional toppings such as fresh fruit, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a drizzle of sugar-free syrup (not included in the recipe).
