3 Ingredient Banana Blackberry Ice Cream
Description
The recipe requires only frozen sliced bananas, blackberries, and vanilla extract, combined in a high-powered blender or food processor. Blending takes several minutes, with periodic scraping down of the sides to ensure even consistency without adding liquid, which would alter the texture. This method relies on the natural creamy qualities of bananas when frozen and blended to create the ice cream base.
The resulting ice cream has a naturally sweet flavor with fruity blackberry accents and subtle vanilla aroma. It can be eaten right away as a soft serve or transferred to the freezer for firmer ice cream. The texture depends on thorough blending and properly frozen fruit chunks.
The recipe is simple and dairy-free, highlighting the natural sweetness and creaminess of bananas alongside the tartness of blackberries. Its short ingredient list makes it ideal for a quick homemade frozen treat without added sugars or cream.
Frozen bananas should be completely solid before blending to achieve the desired consistency. If needed, pause to scrape down the sides allowing all bits to blend smoothly. No added liquids should be used, as they can cause a smoothie-like texture rather than ice cream. Adding optional toppings like almond butter can add indulgence.
Ingredients
- 4 banana frozen and sliced
- 10 blackberry
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a powerful blender or processor add in the chopped bananas. Addin the blackberries and vanilla. Processuntil combined.
- You will need to use a tamper to ensure it blends evenly or a silicone spatula to scrape the sides.

Notes
- You can substitute frozen blackberries for fresh ones, but may need to scrape sides more during blending.
- Chop frozen bananas into chunks before blending for easier processing.
- Ensure bananas are fully frozen to avoid smoothie consistency.
- Do not add any liquid; patience and scraping produce the best texture.
- Blend time varies by machine, usually 3-15 minutes with scraping.
- Optional toppings like drizzled almond butter can add extra flavor.
- This recipe yields about 1.5 to 2 cups of ice cream.
