Banana Ice Cream (3 Ways!)
Description
This recipe instructs blending frozen, sliced bananas in a food processor or high-powered blender until creamy. The plain banana version uses only bananas, while strawberry banana adds frozen strawberries, and the chocolate peanut butter version includes peanut butter and cocoa powder. Optional plant-based milk can be added sparingly to adjust consistency, depending on your blender.
The texture resembles soft serve ice cream and is meant to be eaten immediately after blending for best creaminess. The recipe notes suggest slicing fruit before freezing for easier blending and offer a tip to firm the ice cream by freezing it in a container for an hour before serving.
