ONE-INGREDIENT BANANA ICE CREAM



One-Ingredient Banana Ice Cream image

This outrageously easy "ice cream" is just the sort of dessert to please everyone at the table - the vegans, the lactose-intolerant, the paleo enthusiasts, the picky children. Just toss four frozen bananas into a blender and give it a good whirl. If you like soft-serve consistency, eat it right away (and adding a few tablespoons of milk to the blender wouldn't hurt, but it's not necessary). For more traditional scoops, freeze it in an airtight container, and dole out as you would the Ben & Jerry's. Consider adding a spoonful of peanut butter, Nutella or honey; a handful of chocolate chips or almonds; or a 1/2 teaspoon of powdered ginger, cardamom or cinnamon.

Tips:

  • Use frozen bananas: Freezing the bananas beforehand will give the ice cream a creamier texture and make it easier to blend.
  • Add other ingredients to taste: You can add other ingredients to the ice cream to enhance the flavor, such as peanut butter, chocolate chips, or berries.
  • Adjust the sweetness: If you find that the ice cream is too sweet, you can reduce the amount of honey or maple syrup that you add.
  • Serve immediately: Blended banana ice cream is best served immediately, as it will start to melt if it is left out at room temperature for too long.

Blended banana ice cream is a delicious and healthy dessert that is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up overripe bananas and is a healthier alternative to traditional ice cream.
