Impossible Banana Ice Cream

Are you ready for quite possibly the most simple recipe for ice cream ever?

I call it Impossible Banana Ice Cream because it has one, and only one ingredient. It is not a sorbet, it is a creamy, luscious, wonderful ice cream. Add the toppings of your choice, like whipped cream, cherries, nuts, and hot fudge.

I also added some caramel sauce and mixed nut topping, but that isn’t necessary as it is quite flavorful and delicious all on its own.

Impossible Banana Ice Cream

Only bananas are needed to make this deliciously smooth Impossible Banana Ice Cream. Top with your favorite ice cream toppings or plain.

Equipment

  • Food Processor

Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 large bananas not too ripe

Instructions
 

  • Slice the bananas into coins and lay on a piece of wax paper. Transfer to freezer and let them freeze for 1-2 hours.
  • Add the frozen banana slices to a food processor and process until creamy and extra smooth. This may take a few minutes. If needed, stop a few times to scrape down the bowl. After the mixture was initially mixed and in very small pieces, I had to let it thaw for about 10 minutes when my processor blade wouldn't pick up the mixture as it was too hard. If this happens to you, just wait a few minutes and try processing again.
  • Eat within 2-3 days. Since this ice cream has no preservatives, it is best to eat it sooner rather than later. I prefer to eat it immediately after preparing. It should be the perfect soft-serve consistency after you finish processing it.

    Milcoores – Hmm…well what is popular in the USA lately is to take the baby's name, get it carved in individual wood letters (often you can buy the letters precut at a store) and have them painted and hang them in the nursery above the crib. That would be my suggestion. 🙂 See Here for example.

    Jessica – You are welcome! 🙂
