Banana nice cream is the magical one-ingredient dessert that proves you only need frozen bananas and a blender to make creamy, scoopable "ice cream." Add mix-ins for endless flavor possibilities.
Slice ripe bananas into coins and freeze on a parchment-lined tray for at least 2 hours until solid.
Add frozen banana slices to a food processor or high-powered blender.
Blend, scraping down the sides often. It will go from crumbly to a thick paste—keep blending until smooth and creamy.
Add a splash of milk if needed to help it blend. Mix in peanut butter, cocoa powder, or vanilla if desired.
Serve immediately as soft serve, or freeze 1 hour for a firmer, scoopable texture. Top with sprinkles or berries.
Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream
Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with chocolate sauce before serving
Arrange on a platter for easy sharing at your next gathering
Pair with your favorite dipping sauce for extra flavor
Mango nice cream has a more tropical, less banana flavor
Both create indulgent flavor options
