Ingredients for Banana Ice Cream

  • 3 ripe bananas
  • Milk
  • Vanilla Extract

How to Make Banana Ice Cream

  1. Peel and slice 3 ripe bananas into 1-inch thick pieces.
  2. Place banana slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until solid.
  3. Add frozen banana slices to a food processor and blend until completely smooth and creamy. This may take a few minutes, scraping down the sides as needed.
  4. For a richer, creamier texture, add a tablespoon of milk or cream and blend again.
  5. Serve immediately as a soft-serve style ice cream, or transfer to an airtight container and refreeze for a firmer consistency.
  6. Top with your favorite toppings and enjoy your homemade banana ice cream sundae!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
