Directions

  1. Mark step 1 done

    Peel and slice the bananas (4) into small coins. Arrange them in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze until completely solid, which takes about 4 hours.

  2. Mark step 2 done

    Transfer the frozen banana (4) slices to a food processor or high-speed blender. Blend until the mixture breaks down into crumbs, scraping down the sides as needed, until it suddenly turns creamy and smooth. If the machine struggles, pour in Soy milk (60ml) to help it blend.

  3. Mark step 3 done

    To create a specific flavor, add your chosen ingredients to the smooth banana (4) base. For a classic taste, add Vanilla extract (5ml). For chocolate, blend in Cocoa powder (45ml). For a nutty variation, blend in Smooth peanut butter (45ml). Pulse until the flavorings are fully combined.

  4. Mark step 4 done

    Serve immediately for a soft-serve consistency. To store leftovers, transfer the ice cream to a shallow airtight container and place it in the freezer immediately (always within 2 hours) to maintain food safety. It will keep in the freezer for up to 1 month. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping.
