Preparation

  • Peel and slice 4 ripe bananas. Lay them out on a parchment-lined baking sheet and place in the freezer for at least 2 hours or until completely frozen.
  • Transfer the frozen banana slices to a high-powered blender. Add any optional add-ins like almond milk or vanilla extract. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as necessary.
  • If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more almond milk and continue blending until a creamy, soft-serve consistency is achieved.
  • Scoop the banana nice cream into bowls and serve immediately for a soft-serve texture.
  • For a firmer texture, transfer the nice cream to an airtight container and freeze for 1-2 more hours.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer. Consume within a week for best quality.
  • Top with fresh fruit, nuts, or a drizzle of honey before serving for added flavor.
