Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces ripe bananas
- 120 ml milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 tablespoons honey (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Peel the bananas and slice them into thin rounds.
Place the banana slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they are spread in a single layer to prevent sticking.
Freeze the banana slices for at least 2 hours or until they are completely frozen solid.
Once the bananas are frozen, transfer them to a blender or food processor.
Add the milk, honey (if using), and vanilla extract to the blender or food processor.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. You may need to scrape down the sides of the blender occasionally to ensure everything is evenly blended.
Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more honey, if desired.
Serve immediately for a soft-serve texture, or transfer the mixture to an airtight container and freeze for another 1-2 hours for a firmer scoopable consistency.
Scoop the banana ice into bowls or cones and enjoy!
