Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Ripe bananas
Instructions
Peel the ripe bananas and slice them into thin, coin-sized pieces for easier freezing and blending.
Place the banana slices in a single layer on a baking sheet or large plate lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Freeze the banana slices for at least 2 hours or until completely frozen solid.
Transfer the frozen banana slices to a food processor or a high-speed blender.
Blend the bananas on high power, stopping to scrape down the sides with a spatula as needed. At first, the bananas will look crumbly, but keep blending until the texture becomes smooth and creamy, 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 for a firmer, scoopable consistency.
Optionally, garnish with your favorite toppings such as chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or a drizzle of honey before serving.
