I had heard it was possible to make cheap homemade healthy ice cream out of bananas without an ice cream maker and I’d also heard that it was easy. But it wasn’t until I was stuck with 2 over ripe bananas that I realized just how RIDICULOUSLY EASY this recipe is. This blew my mind folks.
The whipped cream? I just added that so I could feel like I actually DID something.
Easy Homemade Healthy Ice Cream Recipe
Ingredients:
1 or 2 organic ripe bananas (that’s it. I swear)
Directions:
- Skin bananas and cut up into chunks or slices
- Freeze slices until hard
- Put frozen banana slices into either a blender or a food processor and blend until the chunks thicken and clump together like…well ice cream (The consistency is a cross between sorbet and gelato).
Homemade Whipped Cream Recipe
Ingredients:
- 3 tbsps organic heavy cream*
- 1 tbsp sugar (confectioners is best, but any sugar will do)
Directions:
Whip cream and sugar with a hand blender (or by hand) until peaks form.
Done.
*For a vegan version just skip this step and add another topping like nuts or preserves.
• Have any of you ever made homemade ice cream like this before? Why was I not informed? This is AWESOME!
