You can make this creamy, healthy banana ice cream in minutes using only three simple ingredients. This no-churn recipe delivers a guilt-free frozen dessert that tastes like soft serve.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large ripe bananas, peeled, sliced, and frozen solid
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or other plant-based milk)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Place your frozen banana slices into a high-powered food processor or a strong blender.
  2. Add the almond milk and vanilla extract to the food processor or blender.
  3. Begin processing. You will need to stop frequently to scrape down the sides. The mixture will go from crumbly to thick and finally to a smooth, creamy soft-serve consistency. This may take 3 to 5 minutes depending on your machine.
  4. Serve immediately for a soft-serve texture.
  5. For a firmer, scoopable banana ice cream, transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 1 to 2 hours before serving.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness. The riper they are (with brown spots), the better your nice cream will taste.
  • If you want to add peanut butter for a richer flavor, substitute 1 tablespoon of the almond milk with 1 tablespoon of natural peanut butter.
  • For a chocolate version, add 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder during the blending step.
