Ingredients for Banana Frappe

  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup chilled milk

  • Powdered Milk
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup slivered almonds

How to Make Banana Frappe

  1. Peel and mash 2 ripe bananas in a large bowl.
  2. Add 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice to the mashed bananas.
  3. In a blender, combine the mashed bananas and lemon juice with 1 cup of chilled milk, 2 tablespoons of milk powder, 1/4 cup of heavy cream, 2 tablespoons of sugar (or to taste), and 1/4 cup of slivered almonds.
  4. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Add crushed ice (about 1 cup) while blending to achieve your desired consistency.
  5. Pour into glasses and serve immediately. Garnish with extra almonds or a banana slice, if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
