2-Ingredient Banana Ice Cream (Print)

Creamy frozen treat using bananas and milk for a naturally sweet, healthy delight anyone can enjoy.

# What You'll Need:

→ Fruit

01 - 4 ripe bananas

→ Liquid

02 - 2 tablespoons plant-based milk (such as almond, oat, or coconut) or regular milk

# Directions:

01 - Peel the bananas and slice them into thin coins.
02 - Arrange banana slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for at least 2 hours until solid.
03 - Transfer the frozen banana slices to a high-powered blender or food processor, add the milk, and blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
04 - Serve immediately as soft-serve, or transfer to a container and freeze for 1 hour for a firmer texture before scooping.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like soft-serve ice cream but actually requires just two ingredients and no special knowledge.
  • Works perfectly for anyone avoiding dairy, eggs, or refined sugar—which means it actually tastes good, not like a compromise.
  • Ready in minutes if you've already frozen the bananas, making it your secret weapon for unexpected cravings.
02 -
  • The milk amount matters more than you'd think—too little and your blender struggles, too much and you get a smoothie instead of ice cream.
  • Frozen bananas from the grocery store sometimes don't work as well as ones you freeze fresh; there's something about the texture that changes during commercial freezing.
03 -
  • The secret to creaminess is using truly frozen bananas and not being stingy with the blender time—those few extra seconds make all the difference.
  • If your blender is struggling, let the frozen bananas sit on the counter for two minutes before blending to soften them just slightly.
