Nine different flavour options of creamy vegan banana ice cream recipes that you can make at home, with just a few ingredients and a blender!
Total Time: 5 mins
Yield: 1-2 servings
Ingredients:
2-3 overripe, frozen bananas
optional milk of choice, if needed
Step One:
Peel the overripe bananas, cut into pieces, and freeze them.
Step Two:
When the bananas are fully frozen, toss them into a food processor or high-quality blender and blend until you achieve a consistency that resembles soft serve. If your blender is having trouble processing, you can add 2-4tbsps milk of choice or another liquid.
Once the soft-serve texture is reached, you can eat it immediately or scoop it into a container and freeze an additional 30 minutes or so, then scoop out with an ice cream scoop. This will give you a firmer banana ice cream texture.
