How to Make Banana Ice Cream No Machine Needed

  1. Add the frozen banana slices and sugar to a food processor.
  2. Process for 1-2 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed, until the bananas are coarsely crushed.
  3. With the food processor running, slowly pour in the milk (and vanilla extract if using).
  4. Continue processing until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, resembling ice cream. This may take 2-3 minutes.
  5. Serve immediately for a softer ice cream, or freeze for 30 minutes for a firmer consistency.
