Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ripe bananas
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- 0.25 cup chocolate chips or chopped nuts (optional topping)
Instructions
Peel the bananas and slice them into 1-inch thick rounds.
Lay the banana slices flat on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure they do not overlap.
Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze the banana slices for at least 2 hours, or until completely firm.
Once frozen, transfer the banana slices into a high-powered blender or food processor.
Blend the bananas on high, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed, until a smooth and creamy consistency is achieved (this may take a few minutes).
Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and honey (if using) to the blender. Blend again until fully incorporated and the mixture is silky smooth.
Serve immediately for a soft-serve texture, or transfer the mixture to an airtight container and freeze for 1-2 hours for a firmer consistency.
Top with chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or your favorite toppings before serving, if desired.
