One Ingredient Banana Ice Cream Nice Cream Recipes

ONE-INGREDIENT BANANA ICE CREAM (NICE CREAM)

Steps:

• Cut the bananas into 1-inch pieces. Put them on a plate in a single layer and freeze until solid, at least 2 hours, ideally overnight.
• Place the frozen banana pieces in a food processor. Purée until creamy, 2-3 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed.
• The ice cream can be served at this point and will have a texture similar to soft serve ice cream. For a firmer texture, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and place it in the freezer for at least an hour. Let the ice cream soften about 10 minutes before serving.

ONE-INGREDIENT BANANA ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Peel the bananas, cut them in 2- to 3-inch chunks and place them in a freezer bag in the freezer for at least 6 hours. Remove and blend in a blender until smooth. Serve immediately, or freeze in an airtight container for at least 2 hours. Scoop and serve.

ONE INGREDIENT BANANA ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Start with a ripe banana-it should be sweet and soft. Peel the banana and cut it into coins. It doesn't matter what shape or size the pieces are in as long as they are chopped up into evenly-sized and somewhat small pieces. Put the banana pieces in an airtight container. Freeze the banana pieces for at least 2 hours but ideally overnight.
• Blend the frozen banana pieces in a small food processor or powerful blender. Pulse the frozen banana pieces. A small food processor or chopper works best. Keep blending-the banana will look crumbly.
• Scrape down the food processor. Keep blending-the banana will look gooey. Scrape down the food processor. Keep blending-the banana will look like oatmeal: It will get smoother but still have chunks of banana in it. Scrape down the food processor.
• Suddenly, as the last bits of banana smooth out, you'll see the mixture shift from blended banana to creamy, soft-serve ice cream texture. Blend for a few more seconds to aerate the ice cream. (If adding any mix-ins, this is the moment to do it).
• Transfer to an airtight container and freeze until solid. You can eat the ice cream immediately, but it will be quite soft.
