For the best flavor, use ripe bananas with brown spots. These are naturally sweeter and will result in a more flavorful ice cream. Feel free to experiment with different liquids. Coconut milk adds a tropical twist, while almond milk provides a nutty flavor. Add a pinch of cinnamon, a dash of vanilla extract, or a spoonful of peanut butter for extra flavor. If your blender struggles with the frozen bananas, add a tablespoon or two of extra liquid to help it along. This recipe is easily doubled or tripled to serve a larger crowd.

Step
5 mins
Assemble your ingredients. (5 minutes)

10 mins
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper. Arrange the banana slices in a single layer on the parchment paper, ensuring they don't touch. (5 minutes)
03
Step
5 mins
Freeze the banana slices until completely solid. This typically takes at least 2 hours, but can be done overnight for maximum convenience. (120 minutes)

05
Step
5 mins
Add the milk and heavy whipping cream to the blender with the frozen bananas. (2 minutes)
