Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 ripe bananas, sliced and frozen Use fully ripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp peanut butter or cocoa powder Optional ingredients for added flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by ensuring your bananas are fully frozen for achieving a creamy texture.
  2. Place the frozen banana slices in a food processor and blend them until they become creamy, which might take a couple of minutes.
  3. Once the bananas are creamy, add in the vanilla extract and any optional ingredients like peanut butter or cocoa powder, then blend again until well combined.
Serving
  1. For a soft-serve style, scoop the mixture into bowls and enjoy immediately.
  2. For a firmer texture, transfer the banana ice cream into an airtight container and freeze for an hour or two.

Notes

For additional flavor variations, try adding almond extract or cinnamon. If your banana ice cream is too hard, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping.
