✏️ Tips & Hints
- I like to keep frozen bananas on hand for this ice cream. It’s a great way to preserve bananas that are in danger of getting overripe. Simply peel the ripe bananas and slice into chunks. Put the chunks in a zip-top bag and freeze.
- Blending this ice cream may take a while if the bananas are frozen solid. You may even want to slightly thaw the bananas first so they are easier to blend.
- There is no end to the things you can add to this ice cream. I love to add 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder and a little maple syrup (if needed) for a delicious chocolate flavor. You can also try frozen mangoes, peaches, or pineapple, since all three go so nicely with bananas.
