My daughter, Ameli, like most toddlers, loves ice cream. I don’t want to deny her the fun things in life, but I certainly don’t think she has any lack of sugar intake. I came across this recipe for frozen banana ice cream a couple of months ago, and it’s been a regular staple in our house ever since.
From time to time, if Ameli won’t have breakfast for whatever reason, I’ll just reach into the freezer for some ice cream – she’s happy, I’m happy, and a healthy breakfast is had with no fighting or fuss.
If you regularly have overripe bananas, here’s a delightful twist that’s even faster than whipping up a batch of banana bread! Instead of tossing those overripe bananas in the bin, simply slice them into chunks and freeze them. Whether you’re craving a refreshing treat or planning a gathering, transform those frozen bananas into creamy, dreamy ice cream with the help of an Ice Cream Machine Rental. While some may argue that the banana flavor remains subtle, I believe it all comes down to what you pair it with – as a standalone ice cream, its delightful banana essence shines through.
This recipe is dairy, gluten and sugar free. Depending on what you add it can be nut free and anything else free too.

1. Place your chopped and frozen banana pieces into a food processor, and blend on high. Within a minute or so it’ll become a beautiful rich and smooth consistency. Don’t over blend or it’ll become too liquid and you’ll have to freeze it again.
2. Add your additions. Blend again briefly (depending on what I’m blending, it may be useful to prepare them separately, i.e. frozen mango can be liquidised separately.
3. Serve

Extras: If we’re doing it for desert, I will sprinkle some nuts or colourful sprinkles on top. Also lovely with apple pie.
