Banana ice cream has been a favorite of my kids for years. It’s been a favorite of mine as well, given my kids are eating a delicious yet healthy treat. This summer amidst all the chaos I had forgotten about banana ice cream until one hot afternoon while playing in the sprinklers my kids requested it.
It’s now back in the dessert rotation. It’s easy to make – all you need is a ripe banana, a freezer and food processor. (I like to add a splash of vanilla coffee cream for added flavor depth and a little creamy texture)

Simple and delicious two ingredient ice cream
Equipment
- food processor
Ingredients
- 1 banana ripe
- 1 tsp or Tbs cream or milk (I like vanilla coffee cream) optional, amount your preference
Instructions
- Peel and chop your ripe banana into small pieces and place in an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours (overnight is best)
- Place frozen banana pieces and your cream if using into your food processor and pulse to break up and mix. Keep pulsing and blending until the banana until it becomes smooth. You will need to scrap down the sides and blend out the small chunks. Blend a few more seconds after smooth to aerate the bananas.
- We eat immediately as it gets soft quickly or you can transfer to an airtight container and freeze until solid like traditional ice cream. Enjoy
