How to Make Instant Banana Ice Cream James Martin Recipe

  1. Slice 3 ripe bananas into ½-inch thick chunks and spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  2. Freeze the banana chunks for at least 4 hours, or until solid.
  3. Add the frozen banana chunks to a food processor.
  4. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 2 tablespoons of sugar (or sweetener to taste), and ½ cup of buttermilk.
  5. Process for 30 seconds until the mixture begins to come together.
  6. With the food processor running, slowly pour in the remaining ½ cup of buttermilk in a thin, steady stream.
  7. Continue blending until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy (about 1-2 minutes).
  8. Serve immediately for the best texture, or transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for a firmer consistency.
