Ingredients
  

For Banana Ice Cream

  • 1 to 1 ¼ cups milk or milk substutute
  • 3 large chopped bananas frozen
  • ¼ tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Combine 1 cup milk, bananas, and vanilla extract in a blender or food processor. Blend until very smooth and creamy, about 60 seconds on a blender's full speed. If the blades are catching, add more milk, just a splash at a time, to get the ingredients moving. Serve immediately, or transfer to a shallow dish and freeze for 30 minutes to firm it up and make it more scoopable (in a deep container it will take longer).
  • Transfer to an airtight container to freeze any leftovers, then let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes or so to soften before breaking up ice crystals with a fork, stirring well, and then scooping.

Notes

Make-Ahead Reminder
Don't forget you have to Pre-Freeze Banana Slices to ensure you have ripe bananas on hand for whenever your ice cream cravings strike.
Storage
Banana ice cream can typically be stored in the freezer for 1 to 2 months while maintaining decent quality. However, it's best to consume it within a few hours of making for optimal flavor and texture.
