you an incredibly easy healthy and guilt-free way to satisfy those ice cream Cravings all you need are two simple ingredients and either a blender or a food processor and it takes just a few minutes to make it's dairyfree made with real natural foods super creamy and so delicious and the best part is you don't even need an ice cream maker the base ingredient of this recipe is Simply frozen bananas when you blend frozen bananas you get this incredibly creamy texture with a naturally sweet flavor that very closely resembles ice cream without all of the unhealthy and artificial Parts it makes a great base because of its natural sweetness and tastes neutral enough to use as a base with other ingredients today I'll show you four of my favorite simple ice cream recipes that you can try at home yourself and because this is basically just fruits and milk you can enjoy it as a dessert as a snack or even for breakfast when it comes to Preparing the bananas we want to make sure that they are fully ripened as that's when they're the sweetest so the more Brown they look on the outside the better one quick tip is to cut the bananas into slic before freezing so that they're easier to blend after a few hours they'll be ready to use once they've been frozen if you find a few slices stuck to each other just break them apart or throw them in as is if you want something more convenient you can also buy these bagged frozen banana slices from the grocery store which already come pre-sliced and pre- ripened so they're ready to use when it comes to blending you can use either a simple food processor or a high-speed blender like this Vitamix blender that I'll be using today for our base recipe all we need are two simple ingredients four Frozen sliced bananas and 2 tbspoon of unsweetened almond milk or any other milk of your choice blend it on low speed until the bananas and milk break down into a creamy texture if you're seeing that it's getting stuck while blending you'll probably have to stop and stir it a few times to keep it moving what you want to end up with is this smooth creamy consistency when it's ready you can scoop it out and eat it straight away the texture will resemble this velvety soft serve ice cream or if you prefer ice cream on the harder side you can freeze it for a couple hours before eating or store it in the freezer for up to a few weeks in a container but keep in mind that it does get quite hard after freezing so just make sure to leave it out at room temperature for about 20 minutes to allow it to soften up before scooping I like to store my ice cream in these 16 oz Wide Mouth Mason jars if you've watched some of my other videos you'll see that I use these for everything they hold one pint of ice cream which is perfect for this recipe and holds roughly the same amount as a carton of hogendas their vanilla bean ice cream contains 981 calories per carton in contrast our homemade ice cream contains just 310 calories for for roughly the same quantity it's truly guilt-free this simple two ingredient base recipe is delicious enough to be eaten on its own I like to enhance the flavor by adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract and a splash of maple syrup or a natural sweetener like Stevia but if you want to get even more creative you can try adding other types of ingredients to create different flavors here are four of my favorite go-to recipes that are super easy to do at home our first recipe is this delicious Berry banana ice cream let's start with our base recipe of four frozen bananas and 2 tbspoon of almond
