This Ice Cream is Bananas!

I have to admit that when I heard that you can make ice cream out of just frozen bananas, I was pretty skeptical. I'm sure I mentioned it before, but I LOVE creamy food, and ice cream is on the top of my list. I stumbled upon this recipe somewhere in blogland, and have since adapted it to my own taste. From the first time I tried it, it changed my life...Dramatic words, I know, but it really did! With no added preservatives, sugar, and nothing but bananas, this stuff is AMAZING! Not only do I love it, but my picky husband and kids also LOVE it. Of course the girls love it because it's the only ice cream I let them eat for breakfast! Just try it, and let me know what you think:)

Banana Ice Cream

Ingredients: Frozen bananas (no kidding!)



1. Begin the night before by chopping up some bananas, and freezing them. I have found that ripe bananas work the best...You know when they are spotted, but not "over ripe" yet? That's the perfect time to try this one:)

2. Put your frozen chopped bananas in your food processor, and let it rip.

3. I must add that it can take a while before it starts to look like ice cream....be patient! For about 2-3 minutes, it will look like banana crumbles!


4. It's a good idea to stop the processor every so often and push down the sides with a spatula.


5. Getting creamy!
6. And it's done!


As you can see, it's a hit! You can totally try new things with this recipe, like adding fruit, chocolate sauce, etc. I love comments, so let me know if you found something that works good with this recipe!

  1. Looks really good, and much healthier than real ice cream! What a great idea! I bet it would be great with some chopped peanuts and hersheys syrup too!
