Banana Nice Cream

Let's cook

1. 1

   Freeze ripe bananas sliced

   Slice the bananas into coins before freezing — whole frozen bananas will destroy a blender and cannot be processed.

   💡

   Slice before freezing. This is the step people skip and regret.

2. 2

   Use spotty bananas

   The bananas should be well speckled before freezing. Underripe ones taste starchy and need added sweetener.

3. 3

   Blend and scrape

   Blend the frozen slices in a food processor. It goes through crumbly, then gluey, then suddenly smooth and creamy after 3–4 minutes of scraping down.

   💡

   It will look wrong twice before it looks right. Keep going.

4. 4

   Add liquid only if stuck

   Add milk a teaspoon at a time only if the blender genuinely cannot move. Every addition makes it icier.

5. 5

   Serve immediately or firm up

   Eat straight away for soft-serve texture, or freeze 30 minutes for something scoopable.
