Ingredients
- 2 large, ripe but firm bananas
Instructions
- Line a baking tray with baking paper. Peel and slice the bananas into 1cm/½in pieces, then place in a single layer on the tray. Freeze for 4–6 hours or overnight until solid.
- Once frozen, transfer the banana pieces into a sturdy food processor. Blend using short pulses until finely chopped, then continue blending until the mixture becomes smooth, thick, and creamy.
- Spoon the soft ice cream into dessert bowls and serve immediately as is, or top with berries, chocolate chips, or sauces of your choice.
- If not eating immediately, transfer leftovers quickly into a lidded container and freeze for up to 2 weeks. Allow to soften slightly before scooping when fully frozen.
Notes
- Use bananas that are ripe for sweetness but still firm for best texture.
- For extra flavor, add cocoa powder, peanut butter, or vanilla extract during blending.
- Serve immediately for a soft-serve texture, or freeze for a firmer ice cream consistency.
- If frozen solid, let sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping.
