Make a guilt-free dessert with this simple banana nice cream recipe. It blends frozen bananas into a creamy, ice-cream-like treat. Satisfy your sweet cravings with this one-ingredient vegan ice cream alternative.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3-4 ripe bananas, peeled and sliced
  • (Optional) 1-2 tablespoons plant-based milk (almond, soy, or oat) for smoother consistency
  • (Optional) Flavor add-ins like cocoa powder, vanilla extract, a pinch of cinnamon, or a spoonful of nut butter

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice ripe bananas into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
  2. Place banana slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for at least 2-3 hours, or until solid.
  3. Transfer frozen banana slices to a food processor or high-speed blender.
  4. Process the bananas. Initially, they will look crumbly. Scrape down the sides as needed.
  5. Continue processing. The bananas will go through stages: crumbly, then sticky, then a soft-serve consistency.
  6. If the mixture is too thick, add plant-based milk one tablespoon at a time until it reaches your desired creaminess.
  7. Add any optional flavor add-ins and process until well combined.
  8. Serve immediately for a soft-serve texture. For a firmer ice cream, transfer to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 1-2 hours.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness.
  • For a chocolate nice cream, add 1-2 tablespoons of cocoa powder during blending.
  • Top with fresh fruit, nuts, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
  • Nice cream is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in the freezer for up to a week. It may become very firm; let it thaw slightly before serving.
