Description

Creamy homemade banana Nice Cream delivers guilt-free dessert magic with minimal preparation. Blending frozen bananas, optional mix-ins, and pure simplicity creates a delightful frozen treat you’ll savor without compromise.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 2 bananas, cut into 1-inch slices (frozen)
  • 0.5 cup (120 milliliters) frozen strawberries, sliced

Liquid Ingredient:

  • 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) almond milk

Flavor Enhancer:

  • 0.5 teaspoon (2.5 milliliters) vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare ripe bananas by slicing into uniform pieces, spreading them separately on a flat tray to prevent clumping, and freezing for minimum 2 hours or preferably overnight until completely solid.
  2. Transfer frozen banana slices and strawberries into a food processor, pulsing and scraping sides periodically to create a smooth, soft-serve textured mixture.
  3. Gradually introduce almond milk and vanilla extract while processing, adjusting liquid quantity to achieve desired creamy consistency and ensuring thorough blending.
  4. For immediate consumption, serve the mixture as a soft, velvety frozen dessert directly from the food processor.
  5. Alternatively, for a firmer texture, transfer the mixture into an airtight freezer-safe container and allow to solidify for approximately 2-3 hours until it reaches traditional ice cream scoopability.

Notes

  • Choose ripe, spotty bananas for maximum sweetness and natural sugar content.
  • Slice bananas uniformly to ensure even freezing and smoother blending process.
  • Use frozen strawberries for extra thickness and intense berry flavor without adding water.
  • For dairy-free alternative, swap almond milk with coconut milk for richer, more indulgent texture.
