Description
Homemade Banana Ice Cream is a creamy, naturally sweet frozen dessert made with just bananas, coconut milk, and vanilla. Enjoy it as a soft serve right after blending or freeze it for a firmer, scoopable treat.
Ingredients
4 medium bananas, sliced and frozen
1/4 cup unsweetened coconut milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Add the frozen banana slices, coconut milk, and vanilla extract to a food processor.
- Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Serve immediately for a soft-serve consistency.
- For a firmer texture, transfer the mixture to an airtight container and freeze for about 4 hours before scooping.
- For flavor variations, blend in peanut butter, cocoa powder, or mixed berries before serving.
Notes
Use very ripe bananas with brown spots for the sweetest flavor.
Substitute coconut milk with almond milk, oat milk, or another plant-based milk if desired.
Top with chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or dairy-free chocolate chips for extra texture.
Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
Let frozen ice cream sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes before scooping.
If the texture becomes icy, briefly blend again to restore creaminess.
