Creamy Banana Frozen Treat (Printable)

A creamy frozen treat with bananas and milk, naturally sweet and easy to prepare.

# What You'll Need:

→ Fruit

01 - 4 ripe bananas

→ Liquid

02 - 2 tablespoons plant-based milk (almond, oat, or coconut) or dairy milk

# How to Make It:

01 - Peel the bananas and slice them into thin coins.
02 - Arrange banana slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for at least 2 hours until solid.
03 - Transfer frozen banana slices to a high-powered blender or food processor, add the milk, and blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down sides as needed.
04 - Serve immediately as a soft-serve dessert or transfer to a container and freeze for 1 hour for a firmer texture before scooping.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's honestly just fruit and milk, which means you're eating something real instead of wondering what half the ingredients even are.
  • The whole thing comes together in minutes once frozen, making it perfect for those moments when a craving hits without warning.
  • Nobody needs to know it's healthy—it tastes indulgent enough that guests actually ask for the recipe.
02 -
  • Overripe bananas—the ones with the brown spots that make you think they're past their prime—are actually your best friends here because they're sweeter and creamier when frozen.
  • The milk isn't optional; without it your blender will just spin and spin, and you'll wonder if something's broken, so add it even though two tablespoons seems ridiculously small.
03 -
  • A high-powered blender makes an obvious difference—regular food processors work but take longer and might leave tiny ice crystals that crunch a little when you don't expect them.
  • The moment the texture goes creamy is the moment to stop blending; too much more and it starts getting warm and melty, which defeats the whole point.
