Banana Nice Cream
Enjoy creamy Banana Nice Cream with just one ingredient—ripe bananas! A quick, healthy, and easy dessert.
Servings: 1
Equipment
- One of these appliances: Champion Juicer, Ninja CREAMi, High-speed blender, Food processor, or other appliance designed to make nice creams such as Dessert Bullet or Yonanas
Ingredients
- 1-2 very ripe bananas optionally sliced, and frozen (about 1 cup)
Instructions
Champion Juicer
- Insert the blank for the juicer, turn the appliance on, and push the whole frozen bananas (no need to slice in advance) through the chamber.
Ninja Creami
- Mash ripe bananas and place in the Ninja Creamy pint up to fill line, making sure the top is smooth and level. Cover the pint and freeze, upright and level, for 24 hours before spinning on “light ice cream” setting. Re-spin if necessary.
High-Speed Blender
- With this type of appliance, it’s best to use bananas that have been sliced before freezing. Place the desired amount in your blender container and add enough liquid (unsweetened fruit juice or plant milk) to process.
Food Processor Fitted with the "S" Blade
- Same directions as the high powered blender, except that you don’t need to add any liquid.
Other appliances
- There are many other appliances specifically designed to make nice creams, such as the Dessert Bullet and Yonanas. I don’t have experience with all of these appliances, so I always say get the biggest and best you can afford. In my experience, the Champion juicer and the Ninja Creami are unparalleled for both taste and texture.
Notes
Any frozen fruit, in combination or alone, can be used to make nice cream but ripe bananas, because of their high sugar and low water content, makes the sweetest and creamiest, in my opinion. Frozen mangos are a close second.
