Creamy Banana Frozen Treat (Printable)

A creamy, naturally sweet frozen treat from bananas and plant-based milk, perfect for a healthy snack.

# What You'll Need:

→ Fruit

01 - 4 ripe bananas

→ Liquid

02 - 2 tablespoons plant-based milk (e.g., almond, oat, or coconut) or regular milk

# How-To Steps:

01 - Peel the bananas and slice them into thin coins.
02 - Arrange the banana slices evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 2 hours until solid.
03 - Place the frozen banana slices in a high-powered blender or food processor, add the milk, and blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
04 - Serve immediately as soft-serve or transfer to a container and freeze for 1 hour for a firmer texture before scooping.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It tastes indulgent and creamy without a single drop of heavy cream or added sugar.
  • You probably already have everything in your kitchen right now.
  • Takes 10 minutes of hands-on time and then your freezer does the rest.
02 -
  • Don't skip the freezing step—you need the bananas actually frozen or you'll end up with banana smoothie, not ice cream.
  • The milk amount barely matters; it's really just a splash to help the blades move, so adjust to whatever consistency you like.
03 -
  • If your blender gets stuck or the mixture seems too thick, add milk just a teaspoon at a time instead of dumping it all in at once.
  • Freeze your serving bowls for 5 minutes before scooping if you want it to stay creamy longer instead of melting into pudding.
