The Most Delicious and Easiest Homemade Ice Cream, In the World!
24 Comments
My family was shocked that I didn’t add sugar to this ice cream! I was excited about how easy it was! So, to continue our healthy foods that start with the letter I, we made banana ice cream in three simple steps:
Method:
- Freeze bananas in their peel. I didn’t wait till they were super frozen, just a few hours so I could still cut them up easily. Sometimes the peel comes right off the frozen banana. Sometimes, if I leave them in the freezer too long, I have to cut the peel off.
- Place 2 cups of chopped frozen bananas in a blender with 1/8 cup milk and 1 tsp. vanilla extract and blend till smooth.
- Return banana mixture to the freezer until it freezes again. This step is key. Once blended, the banana is more like a smoothie. Returning it to the freezer AFTER you blend it, makes it more of ice cream consistency.
Tips:
- This freezes, defrosts and refreezes pretty quickly. If you wait till the ice cream is very frozen, take it out about 15 minutes to soften before scooping into dishes. If it gets too soft, return it to the freezer. It will set up again pretty quickly.
Results:
- A+ and please make it again from my husband and boys. Erica, who I used to call the flip-flopper on this blog decided suddenly she doesn’t like bananas. Oh well, you can’t win them all, right?

Love it! We make that same ice cream all of the time. We’ve also added strawberries or blueberries. We’ve even had ice cream for breakfast…just because we can! 🙂
We have a vitamix… we haven’t tried bananas… we’ll have to do that today! We’ve done other frozen fruit, tho! We reallllly like peaches with a touch of vanilla 🙂
One of our faves!
SUGARFREE BABY!!
Thanks Amy!
This sounds perfect and easy and healthy. Thank you for this great idea. I also liked yesterday’s post and the lunch you packed for the kids.
This looks really yummy. By the way, I’ve been using your “ghetto jam” idea on a weekly basis since reading that post. We love it – especially made with blueberries because they’re naturally sweet.
This is my new favorite “ice cream” as well! Who would have thought frozen and blended bananas could taste so yummy?
I JUST made this and love it!! Thanks.
I am going to try this tonight. Seems like ice cream weather.
I would love to a try this to my son this evening. I hope I can make this perfect. 🙂

I’m not a banana fan, and my grandson is allergic to them, but I bet this would be great with strawberries instead, don’t you think?
Jill- Thank you so much for writing the book review! It helps me tons… and yes, strawberries would be super delicious!
Yum! We make something similar but add some chunky peanut butter and sometimes a tiny bit of cocoa powder. I love it!
My daughter suddenly doesn’t like bananas so it means more for me and my son!
Wow, this piece of writing is good, my younger sister is analyzing these kinds
of things, thus I am going to let know her.
We make something called “banana swirl” (we learned about it on Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood) that is so much like ice cream that it blows our minds. We freeze bananas out of their skin in a freezer bag for a few hours and then blend them; that’s it. We don’t add anything and the consistency is so much like ice cream. It’s not successful to make and re-freeze, though. We make exactly how much we want and eat it right then.
Hi. What a great idea! is it safe to refreeze fruit that has defrosted though?
I’ve been freezing bananas to eat for years; basically for the rush out of the house with my three kids! If you peel then and wrap in tinfoil it’s easier instead of with the peel on! Just a suggestion! 🙂
Yes, it’s perfectly safe to refreeze defrosted fruit.
