Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe bananas: The riper, the better, as they are sweeter and easier to blend.
- 1 cup of milk: You can choose either dairy or non-dairy milk, depending on your preference or dietary requirements.
- 1 tsp vanilla extract: This adds a hint of vanilla flavor that complements the bananas perfectly.
- Optional toppings: Customize your ice cream with chocolate chips, nuts, or fruit to enhance its taste and texture.
Instructions
- Peel and slice the bananas: Start by peeling the bananas and slicing them into thin rounds. This will help them freeze evenly and blend smoothly.
- Freeze banana slices for at least 2 hours: Place the banana slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze them for at least 2 hours until they are solid. You can also freeze them overnight if you prefer a firmer texture.
- In a blender, combine frozen bananas, milk, and vanilla extract: Once the bananas are frozen, transfer them to a blender. Add the milk and vanilla extract.
- Blend until smooth and creamy: Blend the mixture on high speed until it becomes smooth and creamy. You may need to pause occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender.
- Serve immediately or freeze for an extra firm texture: For a soft-serve consistency, serve the ice cream immediately. If you prefer a firmer texture, transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for an additional hour or two.
- Add your favorite toppings if desired: Enhance your banana ice cream with toppings like chocolate chips, nuts, or fresh fruit. Get creative and enjoy!
