How to Make Banana Ice Cream

  1. Peel and slice 4 very ripe bananas into 1-inch thick rounds.
  2. Place the banana slices in a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until solid.
  3. Once frozen, add the frozen banana slices to a food processor along with the juice of 1/2 a lemon.
  4. Process until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. This may take a few minutes depending on your food processor.
  5. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired. A pinch of sugar or maple syrup can be added for extra sweetness, if needed.
  6. Transfer the ice cream mixture to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to allow it to fully set. For a smoother texture, churn in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions (this will usually take around 20-30 minutes).
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade banana ice cream!
