Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large Ripe Bananas peeled, sliced, and frozen solid
  • 1 to 1 ½ cups Frozen Strawberries
  • 1-2 tablespoons Milk dairy or non-dairy like almond, oat, soy - OPTIONAL, only if needed to help blending
Optional Add-ins:
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 drizzle Maple Syrup or Honey if fruit isn't sweet enough
  • 1 tablespoon Nut Butter peanut, almond, etc.

Equipment

  • High-Speed Blender or Food Processor
  • Spatula
  • Freezer-Safe Container (if freezing firmer)
  • Measuring Cups
  • Measuring spoons

Method
 

  1. Combine Frozen Fruit: Place frozen banana slices and frozen strawberries into a strong food processor or high-speed blender. Let sit for 2-3 minutes to slightly soften.
  2. Blend Until Smooth: Secure lid and blend, starting on low and increasing speed. The mixture will look crumbly first. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides. Continue blending (2-5 minutes) until smooth and creamy like soft-serve. If struggling, add optional milk 1 tbsp at a time.
  3. Serve Immediately (Soft-Serve): Scoop into bowls and enjoy immediately for the best soft-serve texture.
  4. OR Freeze for Scoopable Ice Cream: Transfer nice cream to a loaf pan or freezer-safe container. Smooth the top, press plastic wrap onto the surface, cover tightly, and freeze for at least 1-2 hours until firm enough to scoop.

Notes

Ripe Bananas are Key: Use very ripe (brown-spotted) bananas before freezing for the best sweetness and flavor.
Blender Tips: Patience is needed; keep blending past the crumbly stage. Stop once smooth to avoid over-blending. A high-speed blender or food processor works best.
Variations: Swap strawberries for other frozen fruits (mango, pineapple, berries). Add cocoa powder, nut butter, or vanilla.
Best Fresh: Nice cream has the best texture immediately after blending (soft-serve style).
Storing: If freezing firmer, press plastic wrap onto the surface before sealing tightly to minimize ice crystals. It can get very hard; let soften 5-10 mins before scooping. Eat within 1-2 weeks for best texture.
