Ingredients
Scale
Frozen Fruits:
- 2 bananas, cut into 1-inch slices (frozen)
- 1/2 cup frozen strawberries, sliced
Liquid:
- 2 tablespoons almond milk
Flavoring:
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the base ingredients by cutting ripe bananas into uniform slices, spreading them individually on a flat, freezer-safe tray to prevent clumping, and freezing for a minimum of 2 hours or ideally overnight until completely solidified.
- Transfer the frozen banana pieces and strawberries into a robust food processor, pulsing and blending until the mixture develops a smooth, soft-serve texture with minimal chunks.
- Gradually introduce almond milk and vanilla extract while continuously processing, adjusting liquid quantity to achieve a creamy, consistent blend that maintains a rich, velvety consistency.
- For immediate consumption, serve the mixture as a refreshing soft-serve dessert directly from the food processor, ensuring a light and airy texture.
- Alternatively, for a firmer, traditional ice cream experience, transfer the blended mixture into an airtight, freezer-safe container and allow it to solidify for approximately 2-3 hours until it reaches a scoopable consistency.
Notes
- Freeze bananas completely flat to ensure even, quick freezing and prevent clumping during blending.
- Choose very ripe, spotty bananas for maximum natural sweetness and smoother texture without added sugar.
- Experiment with alternative milk options like coconut milk for different flavor profiles and dietary needs.
- Use a high-powered food processor or blender to achieve the creamiest, most consistent soft-serve texture without icy chunks.
