Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large ripe bananas
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Begin by choosing 4 large ripe bananas. The bananas should be yellow with brown spots for the best flavor and sweetness.
Peel the bananas and slice them into thin coins, about 1/2 inch thick.
Spread the banana slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze the banana slices for at least 2 hours, or until completely frozen.
Once the bananas are frozen, remove them from the freezer and let them sit for a couple of minutes to make them easier to blend.
Place the frozen banana slices in a high-speed blender or food processor. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract for flavor.
Blend the bananas on high speed, scraping down the sides of the blender or processor as needed.
Be patient as the bananas will first crumble and then gradually smooth out to form a creamy consistency, resembling soft-serve ice cream.
Ensure the mixture is smooth and creamy with no lumps remaining.
Serve the banana ice cream immediately for soft-serve texture, or transfer to an airtight container and freeze for another 1-2 hours for a firmer consistency.
Enjoy your homemade, sugar-free creamy banana ice cream with your favorite toppings if desired.
