How to Make It
Peel and Freeze
Start by peeling your bananas and slicing them into chunks. Pop those slices into a freezer bag or container and freeze for at least 2 hours. If you’re short on time, you can also freeze them overnight.
Blend It Up
Once your bananas are frozen solid, throw them into a blender or food processor. Add the milk, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy. If it’s too thick, you can add a little more milk until you reach your desired consistency.
Mix in Extras
If you’re using any optional add-ins, fold them in now. Chocolate chips, peanut butter, or a sprinkle of cinnamon can make this treat even more amazing.
Serve or Freeze
ou can enjoy your banana ice cream right away for a soft-serve texture, or freeze it for an additional 30 minutes if you prefer a firmer consistency.
Scoop and Enjoy
Serve your banana ice cream in bowls or cones and enjoy this quick and delicious treat!

Tips for Success
- Banana Quality: Make sure your bananas are really ripe. They should be sweet and have brown spots for the best flavor.
- Consistency: If you like a thicker ice cream, you might need to let it freeze a bit longer. Just remember to let it sit out for a few minutes before scooping if it gets too hard.
And that’s it—five minutes and you’ve got yourself a creamy, delicious banana ice cream that’s perfect for any day of the week. It’s simple, satisfying, and way better for you than store-bought versions. Give it a try and let me know what you think!
Happy scooping! 🍦💛
