2-Ingredient Banana Ice Cream (Printable Version)

Smooth frozen treat made with ripe bananas and milk, naturally sweet and creamy.

# What You Need:

→ Fruit

01 - 4 ripe bananas

→ Liquid

02 - 2 tablespoons plant-based milk (almond, oat, or coconut) or regular milk

# Steps:

01 - Peel the bananas and slice them into thin coins.
02 - Place banana slices in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze until solid, at least 2 hours.
03 - Transfer frozen banana slices to a high-powered blender or food processor. Add milk and blend until smooth and creamy, scraping the sides as needed.
04 - Serve immediately as soft-serve, or freeze in a container for 1 hour to achieve a firmer texture before scooping.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes indulgent but contains nothing but fruit and a tiny bit of milk.
  • You can make it anytime without a trip to the store or an ice cream maker.
  • The texture is so creamy that kids think its regular ice cream.
02 -
  • If your blender starts struggling, stop and scrape the sides, then add a tiny bit more milk.
  • Freezing the bananas in a single layer keeps them from clumping into one giant frozen brick.
03 -
  • Use slightly overripe bananas with brown spots for the sweetest, creamiest results.
  • A high-powered blender works best, but a food processor will get you there with a little patience.
