Ingredients

  • 4 large bananas sliced or cut into small pieces

Instructions

  • Place sliced bananas into a freezer bag and freeze for at least 4 hours until solid, preferably overnight.
  • Place frozen bananas into a food processor or heavy-duty blender and begin pulsing. The bananas will resemble crumbs at first, similar to oatmeal.
  • Continue processing and, as the mixture begins to get smoother, scrape down the food bowl with a rubber spatula.
  • As the consistency begins to smooth out, switch to blending and stop frequently to scrape the mixture down so that it continues to be processed by the blade.
  • After about 10 minutes, the mixture will turn into a creamy consistency resembling a soft serve ice cream. Blend for about 30 seconds longer to incorporate air into the ice cream.
  • Serve immediately for soft serve ice cream. For a more firm, scoopable ice cream, transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe, airtight container, and freeze for about 2 hours, or until it reaches the desired texture.
