Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ripe bananas, peeled and frozen
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk (or other plant milk)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Cut the frozen bananas into small chunks. Place the chunks into a strong food processor or high-powered blender.
- Pulse the banana pieces until they break down into small crumbs. Stop and scrape down the sides as needed.
- Add the almond milk and vanilla extract. Continue blending or processing. The mixture will first look crumbly, then suddenly become smooth and creamy, resembling soft serve ice cream. This may take 3 to 5 minutes depending on your machine.
- Serve immediately for a soft serve texture, or transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 30 minutes for a firmer scoopable texture.
Notes
- Use very ripe bananas for the best sweetness and texture.
- If the mixture is too thick to blend, add plant milk one teaspoon at a time until the blades move freely.
- For a chocolate version, add 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder with the milk.
