Description

A tasty, easy use for over-ripe bananas. No ice cream maker needed! The over-ripe bananas are the perfect sweetness so no added sugar is necessary, and the ice crystals in the frozen banana magically create the perfect consistency for soft ice cream!

Ingredients

  • 4 whole Over-ripe Bananas
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • ½ cups Milk Or Half-and-Half (optional)
  • 2 Tablespoons Pure Vanilla Extract Or Liqueur Such As Frangelico, Kahlua, Or Cognac

Preparation

Peel the bananas, and cut them into 1 inch pieces.
Place these pieces in a freezer bag or freezable container and freeze until solid – at least 3 hours.

Pulse the frozen banana pieces in the bowl of a food processor until the banana is in coarse chunks.

With the machine running, slowly pour in the cream. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Run for a few minutes more until the ice cream becomes thick. If the ice cream is too thick, you can thin with the added optional milk or half-and-half.

Add vanilla or liqueur of choice.

Presto! It should be the consistency of soft-serve ice cream and can be served immediately or frozen in a separate container before serving. Can keep for up to 4 days.

We used to make banana “ice cream” kind of like this when I was a kid….only my mom did just the bananas in a meat grinder/processor….none of the extras…I have some bananas in my freezer just waiting for the chance to become ice cream!

I believe you can, although I haven’t tried it with other fruits. I think my parents used to do something similar with frozen mangoes!
