How to Make Frozen Banana Ice Cream


This banana nut ice cream requires only frozen bananas and pecans. It has no dairy or sugar.


If you want an easy homemade dessert recipe, you need to try it today. Best, of all, it takes only a few minutes to make.

Now that summer is here, I have been getting all of my homemade ice cream recipes ready.

I hope you've had a chance to enjoy my strawberry ice cream and my peaches and cream ice cream.

The secret to my delicious frozen banana ice cream recipe is simply bananas.


So, why does this kitchen hack work so well? Normally, when you puree frozen fruit, it just turns into little flakes of frozen fruit.

But, bananas are very high in pectin. And, it's this pectin that helps keep the ice cream creamy and soft.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 

Why is it called nice cream?

Banana Nice Cream is a delicious and healthy frozen dessert. The treat is dairy free and sugar free because the only ingredient in it is frozen bananas!

Because it mimics real ice cream but is a healthier dessert, it is called Nice Cream.

How long do you have to freeze bananas for nice cream?

To make this frozen dessert recipe, you will need to freeze the bananas for three to four hours.

Don't freeze them on the door because they won't freeze evenly. Instead, place the container toward the back of the freezer.

Can you puree the bananas then freeze?

You will need to start with six frozen bananas. It's important that you freeze them first and then puree.

If you try to puree them first, the consistency will be off and it won't come out properly.

Can nice cream be made without a blender?

Banana Nice Cream can be made in a blender or food processor. I prefer the blender for ease of clean up.

I have also seen it made with a potato masher, but that is a whole lot of work. I would prefer to eat the frozen banana dipped in chocolate, rather than hand mashing frozen bananas.

Is it OK to freeze bananas in their skin?

You can freeze them in their skin but it will make removing the skin much more difficult when you make this recipe.

Instead, remove the peels and place the bananas in a freezer bag to freeze.

That way, when you're ready to make this recipe all you need to do is to take the bag out of the freezer.

Equipment needed to make this recipe
Can I make a larger batch?

Yes, you can double this banana ice cream recipe and make a larger batch. Just make sure that your blender or food processor is large enough to handle all of the ingredients.

Can I refreeze frozen banana ice cream?

Yes. If you take it out to serve it and it starts to get soft, just put it back in the freezer again. It won't affect the flavor or consistency.

Just keep it in the freezer until it returns to the correct consistency.

How long does frozen banana ice cream stay good for?

This recipe will stay good in the freezer in an airtight container for up to a week.

It will still be good after that, but the consistency might be off. Thankfully, it's easy enough to make that you can create a new batch in just a few minutes.

Here are a few ideas you might want to try: chocolate chips, chopped strawberries, a dash of cinnamon, or even a spoonful of Nutella or peanut butter.
