The method

Step by step

  1. 1

    Place the frozen banana slices into a high-speed blender or food processor.

    Cook’s note: Ensure bananas are very ripe before freezing for the best sweetness and flavor.

  2. 2

    If desired, add the cacao powder and vanilla extract for flavored nice cream.

  3. 3

    Blend the mixture, starting on a low speed and gradually increasing. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula occasionally.

    About 3 min

    Cook’s note: Be patient; it takes a few minutes for the bananas to break down and become creamy.

  4. 4

    If the mixture is too thick to blend, add the plant milk one tablespoon at a time until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

    Cook’s note: Add as little liquid as possible to keep it thick and creamy.

  5. 5

    Serve immediately in bowls. Enjoy plain or with your favorite paleo-friendly toppings.
