This Banana Vanilla Ice Cream is a simple and refreshing treat that you can whip up using just a few ingredients. Perfect for dessert or a snack, this homemade ice cream combines the natural sweetness of bananas with the rich aroma of vanilla. Follow these steps to create a delicious and creamy frozen delight in no time.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel the banana and cut it into small slices. This makes it easier to blend.
- Place the banana slices into a blender.
- Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1/2 cup of 2% milk, and 1/3 teaspoon of salt into the blender with the bananas.
- Blend the mixture until it’s smooth and creamy. Make sure there are no lumps left.
- Pour the blended mixture into an ice cream maker, following the manufacturer’s instructions. If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container.
- For an ice cream maker: Churn the mixture until it reaches the consistency of ice cream, then transfer it to a lidded container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours to firm up.
- Without an ice cream maker: Place the container in the freezer. Stir the mixture every 30 minutes for the first 2 hours to prevent ice crystals from forming and to ensure a creamy texture. After about 2-3 hours of intermittent stirring, leave the ice cream to freeze completely for an additional 1-2 hours.
- When the ice cream is firm and ready to serve, scoop it into bowls or cones.
- Enjoy your homemade Banana Vanilla Ice Cream!
Tips:
- For a creamier texture, use whole milk or even heavy cream instead of 2% milk.
- If you prefer a sweeter ice cream, consider adding a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the mixture.
- Freeze your banana ahead of time for an even quicker blend to ice cream.
- For a chunkier ice cream, mash the banana by hand instead of blending it completely smooth.
- Experiment by adding mix-ins such as chocolate chips, nuts, or a swirl of caramel as you blend.
And there you have it! A homemade, creamy, and delicious Banana Vanilla Ice Cream ready to be enjoyed. This simple recipe not only saves you from store-bought ice creams with artificial additives, but also allows you to enjoy a treat that's both healthy and satisfying. Serve it fresh or store it for later indulgence. Happy scooping!
