Tips & Tricks
- You need a powerful motor to effectively blend frozen fruit like frozen bananas. So I highly recommend using a high speed blender for this recipe.
- You can make it easier for your blender by cutting the bananas into thin slices and add 1-2 tablespoons of plant-based milk.
- Slice the bananas into 1-inch slices and freeze them overnight in a ziplock bag. If they stick together, use a sharp knife to cut them into large chunks before blending them. Or arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet without touching each other, so they can freeze without sticking together.
- Make sure to use ripe bananas for this recipe. The riper the banana is, the sweeter this ice cream will be.
Freezing Leftovers
We usually don’t have any leftovers when we make this frozen banana ice cream because it’s just so good. However, if you do happen to have leftovers, you can freeze them for up to 2 months.
The banana ice cream has a “soft serve” consistency right after blending that it will lose when being frozen. It will get a harder, scoop-able consistency that resembles regular ice cream.
Variations
Chocolate
Add 2 tablespoon of cocoa powder before blending and stir in half a cup of roughly chopped dark chocolate or dark chocolate chips after blending.
Cinnamon
Add two teaspoons of ground cinnamon before blending. I also like to add 2-3 tablespoons of cocoa nibs after blending.
Peanut Butter
Add 1/2 cup of natural peanut butter before blending and sprinkle the ice cream with roughly chopped peanuts and dark chocolate before serving.
Cookie
Stir in 1/2 cup roughly chopped Oreo cookies or other vegan cookies after blending.
Fruity
Blend the frozen bananas together with 1 cup of frozen raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, or mango.
