It may sound too good (and too easy) to be true, but you can make low-calorie, homemade ice cream with one simple ingredient: frozen bananas! Still unsure of how it works? Follow these simple steps to learn how to make this simple and healthy dessert after tonight’s dinner.
- Start with overripe bananas. While you can use yellow bananas, they won’t have the same sweet flavor and soft texture.
- Peel the bananas and cut them into slices. It doesn’t particularly matter if they’re all uniform.
- Place the banana slices into an air-tight container and freeze them in the freezer, preferably overnight or all day while you’re at work.
- Blend the now-frozen banana slices in a food processor. If you don’t have one, a traditional blender would also work, thought it may be a bit more difficult to remove the ice cream once it’s done.
- Blend until a soft-serve ice cream consistency is achieved. It may look a bit like frozen banana oatmeal at first, but after blending for five minutes or so, you’ll start to see the ice cream take shape.
- Eat your healthy homemade ice cream! Like any good ice cream, you can also top it with your favorite sauce, sprinkles, or even fresh fruit and nuts.
