Ingredients
- 4 whole ripe bananas
- 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons cashew butter
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 pinch sea salt
Instructions
1. Peel the ripe bananas and slice them into 1-inch rounds. Arrange the banana slices in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

5. Blend the mixture on high speed, stopping to scrape down the sides as necessary, until it becomes creamy and smooth. This may take a few minutes.
6. Once the ice cream reaches your desired consistency, taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, considering the sweetness of the bananas and your taste preference.
7. Immediately serve the banana ice cream, or transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 30 minutes for a firmer texture.
