4.7 2 Published Jul 01, 2024, Updated Jul 10, 2024 There are so many variations of banana ice cream (and I have a few posted here on EBF already like this protein ice cream and oatmeal raisin ice cream) but I wanted to share the easy, basic recipe with you!
frozen banana – the star of the show! I like to peel and chop the banana before freezing which makes for easier blending. You can also follow my full guide on how to freeze bananas. almond milk – this is optional, but you can add unsweetened almond milk to help the mixture come together if you want.
How to Make Banana Ice Cream
How to Serve Banana Ice Cream
For soft serve consistency, you can spoon the mixture into one or two bowls and serve immediately after processing. For a scoop-able ice cream, transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe dish and freeze for 2 hours, then bring it out and scoop.
Chocolate – add in 1/2-1 Tablespoon cacao powder or cocoa powder plus chocolate chips or cacao nibs for a chocolate-y treat! Or just try my chocolate banana ice cream recipe. Peanut Butter – add in 1 Tablespoon of peanut butter during blending and drizzle extra peanut butter on top. I make this one all the time and it’s amazing. Coconut – Top with homemade toasted coconut flakes for a delicious banana coconut combo! Berry – add in frozen berries during blending and/or top with fresh berries for serving! Vanilla – add vanilla bean paste from 1/2 – 1 vanilla bean pod or vanilla extract for vanilla goodness. Oatmeal raisin – check out my oatmeal raisin ice cream that uses banana ice cream as the base. Cinnamon – add a dash of cinnamon to the mix for a warm, spiced flavor. Banana frozen yogurt – Add Greek yogurt to the mix to make frozen yogurt or just follow my banana frozen yogurt recipe.
Want to take your banana ice cream to the next level? Top it with a delicious, homemade chocolate magic shell! To do this, melt dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in the microwave until melted. The coconut oil helps harden the chocolate when it gets cold and makes the chocolate a little thicker. Drizzle the magic shell on top of the ice cream and sprinkle flake sea salt on top for salty-sweet perfection. So good!
