Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces ripe bananas
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
Instructions
Peel the ripe bananas and cut them into thin slices.
Place the banana slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer to prevent sticking.
Freeze the banana slices for at least 2-3 hours, or until they are completely frozen.
Once frozen, transfer the banana slices to a high-speed blender or a food processor.
Add the vanilla extract, almond milk, and maple syrup (if using) to the blender for added creaminess and flavor.
Blend the mixture on high, stopping as needed to scrape down the sides. Continue blending until the bananas turn into a smooth, creamy consistency resembling soft-serve ice cream.
Serve immediately for a soft-serve texture, or transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 1-2 hours if you prefer a firmer consistency.
Scoop into bowls or cones, and enjoy your delicious dairy-free banana ice cream!
