Overview:
This One-Ingredient Ice Cream is made with just frozen bananas! It’s creamy, naturally sweet, and perfect for a guilt-free dessert. It’s a great base, and you can add other ingredients like vanilla extract, cocoa powder, or fruits to make it your own!

Ingredients:

  • 2 ripe bananas (peeled and sliced, then frozen)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Bananas:
    Peel the bananas and slice them into small pieces. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until they are solid.
  2. Blend:
    Once the bananas are frozen, place them in a food processor or blender. Blend until the bananas break down into a creamy, smooth consistency. You might need to stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl a few times. The texture should be like soft serve ice cream.
  3. Serve or Freeze:
    • You can serve it immediately for a soft-serve ice cream texture.
    • If you prefer a firmer texture, transfer the banana ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for 1-2 hours before serving.

Optional Add-ins:

  • A splash of vanilla extract
  • A tablespoon of cocoa powder for chocolate flavor
  • Frozen berries, like strawberries or blueberries, for a fruity twist
  • A handful of chocolate chips or nuts for some crunch
