Total Time1 day d 15 minutes mins
Course: Dessert, Snack
Cuisine: American
Servings: 1 pint, or 4 servings of ½ cup each
- 2 bananas, not overly ripe
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ¾ cup milk (dairy or dairy free alternative)
- 2 tbsps honey
- ¼ cup sugar
Place the 2 bananas in a mixing bowl and mash them up.
Add the heavy cream, milk, honey and sugar to the bananas and whisk until fully incorporated. If there’s a few banana chunks, that’s okay.
Transfer the mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container and freeze for 24 hours on a flat, even shelf.
After 24 hours, place the pint container into the paddle canister and process on the “ice cream” setting.
Serve the banana ice cream right away. You can garnish with some sliced bananas and waffle cone pieces.
- The bananas should not have lots of brown spots. They should look ripe and ready to eat, not the kind you would use for baking a banana bread.
- Make sure the shelf is level so that the mixture freezes evenly to protect your machine.
- To make this totally fairy free, you can use your favorite alternative or plant-based milk. You can find a heavy cream alternative as well in plant-based form. Oat milk will give you a nice creamy base. Coconut milk and soy milk are also good options.
- You can add more honey in place of some of the sugar to make this lighter.
- You can add mix-ins or toppings like chocolate chips or peanut butter to make this even more delicious.
