Banana Soft Serve Blender Ice Cream

By Kathy Patalsky
Published 07/02/2014
Banana Soft Serve Blender Ice Cream

Make super easy blender ice cream using just fruit and non-dairy milk!

Ingredients

  • 2 bananas, frozen
  • ΒΌ-1 cup non-dairy milk (use minimal amount as needed to blend)
  • optional:
  • red layer: Β½ cup frozen strawberries + scoop of banana soft serve + splash of non-dairy milk
  • blue layer: Β½ cup frozen blueberries + scoop of banana soft serve + splash of non-dairy milk

Instructions

  1. Freeze you bananas the night before. Use dark-spotted or very ripe bananas for best flavor, texture and sweetness.
  2. Add the banana to blender. High speed blenders will produce the thickest consistency of soft serve. (Add banana in pieces or slices - use hands to break large pieces and a knife to slice if desired.)
  3. Add a few splashes of non-dairy milk. Start minimally. Add more as needed to blend. You may need to stop and scrape sides of container during the blending process. Blend from low to high until smooth.
  4. Spoon banana soft serve into a chilled dish to serve right away OR scoop into a chilled dish and place back into freezer to firm up a bit to a scoopable state.
  5. If making red, white and blue flavors, simply blend the red and blue separately and add to container to freeze along side pure banana mixture. Serve and enjoy! Add toppings like chopped nuts, granola, coconut, cacao nibs, fresh fruit, coconut whip and more if desired.

Yield: 1 serving
Prep Time: 00 hrs. 10 mins.
Total time: 10 mins.

    This recipe is absolutely dazzling! I can't wait to try it especially since the weather is heating up. I will try my best not to do what your mother did and peel the banana first!

    Frozen banana ice cream is the best! I love to add some chocolate, or use coconut water instead of soy milk. These photos just made me crave that! Waiting for my bananas to ripe.. πŸ™‚
