Ingredients

• 4 pieces ripe bananas
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the ripe bananas and cut them into thin slices.

Step 2

Place the banana slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer to prevent sticking.

Step 3

Freeze the banana slices for at least 2-3 hours, or until they are completely frozen.

Step 4

Once frozen, transfer the banana slices to a high-speed blender or a food processor.

Step 5

Add the vanilla extract, almond milk, and maple syrup (if using) to the blender for added creaminess and flavor.

Step 6

Blend the mixture on high, stopping as needed to scrape down the sides. Continue blending until the bananas turn into a smooth, creamy consistency resembling soft-serve ice cream.

Step 7

Serve immediately for a soft-serve texture, or transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 1-2 hours if you prefer a firmer consistency.

Step 8

Scoop into bowls or cones, and enjoy your delicious dairy-free banana ice cream!
