Banana Ice Cream
If you’re looking for a sweet, creamy and healthy dessert option, then look no further than my homemade banana ice cream recipe. Not only is it vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free, but it’s also incredibly simple to make, requiring just three ingredients!
Ingredients:
3 ripe bananas
2 tablespoons of almond milk
2 tablespoons of maple syrup
Instructions:
First, slice the bananas into rounds and freeze them overnight.
Once the bananas are frozen, place them in a food processor or high-speed blender.
Add in the almond milk and maple syrup, and blend until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. This may take several minutes, so be patient.
Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 3 hours or until firm.
Before serving, let the ice cream sit out for a few minutes to soften. Scoop and enjoy!
Tip: You can also add in other flavors or toppings like cocoa powder, nuts or fruit to customize your ice cream.
