You are not going to believe how good this is and how easy this is! 1 ingredient and 1 food processor!
SERVES: 2
TIME TO PLATE: 10 MINUTES + FREEZING / RE-FREEZING
WHAT YOU NEED:
- 1 large ripe banana
Optional add ins:
- 1 tbsp of peanut butter
- 1 tbsp of chocolate chips
- A few almonds
- 1 tbsp of cocoa powder/nibs
- ½ tsp of cinnamon, cardamom, or ginger
HOW TO MAKE:
- Peel the banana and cut them into coins.
- Put the banana pieces in an airtight container or freezer bag in the freezer for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight.
- Blend the frozen banana pieces in a small food processor powerful blender.
- Keep blending – the banana will look crumbly – Keep blending – the banana will look gooey – Keep blending – the banana will look like porridge, then suddenly, as the last bits of banana smooth out, you’ll see the mixture shift from blended banana to creamy, soft-serve ice cream texture. Blend for a few more seconds to aerate the ice cream. (If adding any mix-ins, like peanut butter or chocolate chips, this is the moment to do it.).
- Transfer to an airtight container and freeze until solid: You can eat the ice cream immediately, but it will be quite soft. You can also transfer it back into the airtight container and freeze it until solid, like traditional ice cream.
