Ingredients
Plain Banana Ice Cream
- 1 frozen banana
Strawberry Banana Ice Cream
- 1 frozen banana
- ½ cup frozen strawberries
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
Peanut Butter Banana Ice Cream
- 1 frozen banana
- 1 tablespoon All-Natural Peanut Butter
Chocolate Banana Ice Cream
- 1 frozen banana
- 1 tablespoon cacao powder
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Ice Cream
- 1 frozen banana
- 1 tablespoon cacao powder
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon All-Natural Peanut Butter
Instructions
- To make a single serving, use a mini food chopper (like this one). If you're using a 12-cup food processor, you'll need to double or triple the recipe to make everything blend smoothly. (3 bananas minimum or 2 bananas plus 1 cup frozen fruit.) Slice the frozen banana into small pieces so it will break down faster.
- Add the sliced banana and any other ingredients to the food processor and secure the lid. Process until the banana breaks down and has a smooth and creamy ice-cream-like texture. (No need to add liquid; just be patient and keep blending!) Serve right away for a soft serve consistency.
- For scoop-able ice cream, transfer the banana ice cream to a freezer-safe dish and freeze for 2 hours. Scoop and serve.
- Leftover ice cream can be stored in a tightly covered container for up to 3 months, but it will harden so you'll need to let it thaw on the counter for 15 to 20 minutes before serving again.
Notes
- Nutrition information is for 1 batch of plain banana ice cream (made with 1 frozen banana). Other flavors will vary. This information is automatically calculated and is just an estimate, not a guarantee.
- If you would rather make scoop-able ice cream, try Chocolate Coconut Milk Ice Cream, Coffee Ice Cream, Vegan Strawberry Ice Cream, or Peanut Butter Ice Cream. They are all dairy-free!
- Update Note: This recipe was updated in June 2024 to make sure it was tested with a mini food chopper and a 12-cup food processor. You can find the original version here.
