Calories: 124kcal
Equipment
- Food processor
Ingredients
- 4 to 5 ripe bananas
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
- Peel bananas, remove any bruises, and break in half or into thirds. Pull apart these pieces lengthwise into strips. Arrange banana strips on a baking pan in a single layer; freeze for 1 to 2 hours, until frozen solid.
- Place frozen bananas in a food processor prepared with an S-blade. Purée, scraping down sides periodically with a spatula. When frozen puree becomes smooth, add vanilla and pulse to combine.
- Serve immediately or transfer to a container and return to the freezer to serve later.
Notes
The best bananas for making this frozen treat are ripe, rather than overripe. Remove any black or brown spots before freezing.
Serve immediately and the texture will be similar to soft-serve ice cream. For the consistency of hard-pack ice cream, refreeze the mixture after processing and serve later. If it is too hard to scoop, let it sit on the counter for a few minutes before serving.
