For those who want to satisfy their sweet tooth without eating too much sugar, banana ice cream is a great option. This easy, dairy-free treat is made with just one ingredient: bananas. You can change the sugar level or other flavours to suit your tastes.
Ingredients
Frozen Ripe bananas Optional flavourings Toppings chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or coconut flakes
Step 1
Peel ripe bananas, slice them into coins, and place them in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for at least 2-3 hours or until solid.
Step 2
Once the bananas are frozen, transfer them to a blender or food processor. Add any desired flavourings, such as cocoa powder or peanut butter, for added flavour.
Step 3
Blend the frozen bananas until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the blender or food processor as needed. If necessary, add a splash of milk or non-dairy milk to help blend the mixture.
Step 4
Once the mixture reaches a smooth and creamy consistency, transfer it to a bowl and serve immediately for a soft-serve texture. Alternatively, transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container and freeze for an additional 1-2 hours for a firmer consistency.
Step 5
Before serving, allow the banana ice cream to soften slightly at room temperature for a few minutes. Serve with optional toppings such as chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or coconut flakes for added texture and flavour.
Step 6
Enjoy your homemade banana ice cream as a refreshing and nutritious treat that's sure to satisfy your sweet cravings without the guilt!
