For an extra creamy texture, let the frozen banana thaw for 5-10 minutes before blending. Adjust the amount of milk to achieve your desired consistency. Add more for a softer ice cream, less for a firmer one. Feel free to experiment with other mix-ins, such as chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or a swirl of honey. Store leftover ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week.
