This an easy instant banana ice cream recipe that all the family will love. Instantly. Top with berries, dark chocolate drops, or whatever you fancy.
Ingredients
- 2 large, ripe but firm bananas
Method
-
Line a baking tray with baking paper. Peel and slice the bananas into 1cm/½in pieces. Place in a single layer on the tray and freeze for 4–6 hours until solid, or overnight. (If not using immediately, transfer to a lidded container and return to the freezer for up to a month before using.)
-
To make the ice cream, tip the frozen bananas into a sturdy food processor. Blend on the pulse setting until the bananas become finely chopped, then whizz into a very thick, creamy purée. The ice cream should form a soft ball.
-
Spoon into dessert dishes and eat just as it is, or top with berries, chocolate drops, or anything you fancy, such as the chocolate sauce in the tips.
-
If not serving all the ice cream at once, transfer the leftover ice cream as quickly as possible into a lidded container and freeze for up to 2 weeks. When frozen like this you can use an ice cream scoop to spoon into bowls.
Recipe Tips
For a hot chocolate sauce topping, very gently melt 50g/1¾oz roughly chopped chocolate with 100ml/3½fl oz double cream in a small pan, stirring regularly. Keep warm while the ice cream is made and served. Drizzle the chocolate over the ice cream and eat immediately.
For a crushed berries topping, put hulled and halved strawberries and raspberries in a small bowl and crush lightly with a fork. Add a few fresh blueberries and toss lightly. Stir in 1 tablespoon caster sugar and leave to stand while the ice cream is made and served.
For the banoffee topping, crumble digestive biscuits into four dessert dishes, top with spoonfuls of banana ice cream, drizzle with maple syrup, and sprinkle with grated chocolate or roughly broken flaked chocolate.
Make sure you don’t cut the bananas too thick for this recipe or your food processor could get damaged when you come to blitz them. Freeze on a baking tray keep the pieces separate, so you can take out just what you need rather than a clump of frozen banana.
