Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large ripe bananas
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol (or your preferred low-carb sweetener)
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Peel the bananas and slice them into thin coins. Spread them out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for at least 2 hours or until fully solid.
In a blender or food processor, combine the frozen banana slices, heavy cream, unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, powdered erythritol, and sea salt.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender occasionally to ensure everything is well combined.
Taste the mixture for sweetness and adjust if necessary by adding more sweetener.
Transfer the creamy banana mixture into an airtight container and smooth the top with a spatula.
Freeze the mixture for at least 2 hours or until it reaches the desired ice cream consistency.
Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
Serve with optional toppings like chopped nuts or sugar-free chocolate syrup if desired.
