Ingredients
- 2 bananas peeled and frozen overnight
- non-dairy milk as needed
Optional Mix-Ins (Before Blending)
- cocoa powder for chocolate flavor
- vanilla bean paste or extract for vanilla flavor
- almond butter or tahini 1 tbsp per banana
- coconut cream 1 tbsp per banana
- frozen fruits, such as strawberries or blueberries
Optional Mix-Ins (After Blending)
- Fresh fruits cut into chunks
- chocolate chips
- almonds or other nuts
Instructions
- Be sure to start with frozen bananas. Just peel and stick them in the freezer overnight! When you're ready to start making your nice cream, break the bananas into 3-4 large chunks so they fit into the food processor.
- Add your favorite mix-ins, if using any.
- Blend the bananas! This may take a little time. Blend for a bit, then stop and scrape the banana bits from the sides of the blender back into the bowl. If the mixture is to dry to blend, you can add a splash of non dairy milk. Keep blending until it forms a creamy mixture that resembles soft serve ice cream.
- If adding any additional (post blender) mix-ins, such as chocolate chips or fresh fruit chunks, add them now and fold into the ice cream.
- Freeze the banana nice cream for 1-2 hours. If still not hardened enough for your liking, give it a stir and freeze for additional 1-2 hours. For serving, let soften at room temperature for easier scooping.
