Ingredients
-
3 ripe bananas (peeled, sliced, and frozen)
-
1–2 tablespoons honey (adjust based on sweetness preference)
-
1/4 cup splash of milk (almond, oat, or dairy)
-
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
Pinch of sea salt
-
Extra banana slices and honey (for garnish)
Instructions
-
Prep the Fruit: Ensure your banana slices are frozen solid (at least 4–6 hours). Using overripe bananas with brown spots will yield the sweetest results.
-
Blend: Place the frozen banana slices into a high-powered blender or food processor.
-
Combine: Add the honey, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Start with just a tiny splash of your chosen milk to help the blades move.
-
Process: Pulse until the bananas look like small crumbles, then blend on high. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides as needed.
-
Adjust Consistency: Continue blending until the mixture becomes smooth, thick, and velvety—similar to soft-serve ice cream. If it is too thick, add more milk one tablespoon at a time.
-
Serve: Scoop the mixture immediately into a chilled bowl for the best texture.
-
Garnish: Top with fresh banana slices and a generous drizzle of honey as seen in the image.
Quick Tips
-
Texture: If you prefer a firmer, scoopable ice cream, transfer the mixture to a container and freeze for an additional 1–2 hours before serving.
-
Flavor Variation: For a nutty twist, add a tablespoon of peanut butter or almond butter during the blending process.
