How to Make Banana Ice Cream Dairy Free

  1. Peel 3-4 ripe bananas and slice them. Place them on a plate, in a ziplock bag, or wrapped in parchment paper. Freeze for at least 5-10 hours, or until solid.
  2. Add the frozen banana slices to a high-powered blender along with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  3. Add your choice of mix-ins: 1-3 tablespoons of cocoa powder, 1/4 cup chocolate chips, 1/4 cup chopped nuts, 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh or dried mint, or 1/2 cup sliced strawberries (or other fruit).
  4. Blend on high speed, scraping down the sides as needed, until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy (about 1-2 minutes).
  5. If the mixture is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of water or plant-based milk at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
  6. Taste and adjust sweetness with additional honey or maple syrup, if desired.
  7. Serve immediately in bowls, cones, or cups. Enjoy!
