Creamy Banana Frozen Treat (Printable Version)

Naturally sweet, creamy frozen banana treat with milk—healthy and simple.

# The Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Fruit

01 - 4 ripe bananas

→ Liquid

02 - 2 tablespoons plant-based milk (almond, oat, or coconut) or regular milk

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Peel the bananas and slice them into thin coins.
02 - Place banana slices in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
03 - Freeze the banana slices for at least 2 hours until firm.
04 - Transfer frozen slices to a high-powered blender or food processor. Add the milk and blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
05 - Serve immediately as soft-serve or transfer to a container and freeze for 1 hour for a firmer texture before scooping.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It tastes indulgent but uses fruit you probably already have sitting on your counter.
  • No churning, no waiting for machines to freeze, just blend and eat.
  • You can make it dairy-free without any weird aftertaste or gummy texture.
  • It satisfies a sweet craving without the sugar crash that follows regular ice cream.
02 -
  • Do not skip freezing the bananas fully or you will end up with a smoothie instead of ice cream, patience here makes all the difference.
  • Scrape down the sides of your blender or processor halfway through, frozen banana loves to hide in corners and you want every bit blended smooth.
  • If your blender struggles, let the frozen slices sit on the counter for two or three minutes to take the edge off the hardness.
03 -
  • Keep a bag of pre-sliced frozen bananas in your freezer so you can make this anytime without planning ahead.
  • Use a food processor instead of a blender if you have one, it handles the frozen fruit with less stopping and scraping.
  • Overripe bananas with lots of brown spots blend smoother and taste sweeter, do not waste the pretty yellow ones on this.
