Ingredients
  

  • 4 ripe bananas sliced and frozen
  • 2 –4 tablespoons milk dairy or plant-based
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup optional
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate chips optional add-in
  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter optional add-in

Method
 

  1. Peel the ripe bananas and slice them into small pieces.
  2. Place banana slices on a tray and freeze for at least 2–3 hours until solid.
  3. Add frozen bananas to a blender or food processor.
  4. Blend until crumbly, then add milk gradually to help blending.
  5. Continue blending until smooth and creamy like soft-serve ice cream.
  6. Add vanilla extract or optional add-ins if desired and blend briefly.
  7. Serve immediately for soft texture or freeze for 1–2 hours for firmer scoops.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness.
  • Do not add too much liquid or the texture will become runny.
  • Allow frozen ice cream to sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping if fully frozen.
  • A food processor works best for achieving a creamy texture.
  • Customize flavours with cocoa powder, berries, or nut butter.
