Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces ripe bananas
Instructions
Start by peeling 4 ripe bananas. The bananas should be fully yellow with brown spots for optimal sweetness and creaminess.
Cut the bananas into thin slices. This will help them freeze quickly and blend easily later.
Place the banana slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.
Freeze the banana slices for at least 2-3 hours, or until they are completely solid.
Once the banana slices are frozen, transfer them to a food processor or high-powered blender.
Pulse the frozen bananas in the food processor, initially breaking them into smaller pieces. The mixture will look crumbly at first.
Continue processing the bananas, stopping to scrape down the sides of the food processor as needed. After a few minutes, the bananas will transform into a smooth, creamy, and soft-serve-like consistency.
Serve the banana ice cream immediately for a soft-serve texture. Alternatively, transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 1-2 hours for a firmer, scoopable texture.
Scoop and serve plain, or customize with your favorite toppings like nuts, chocolate chips, or a drizzle of honey!
