1. Prepare Your Bananas: The day before, or at least 8 hours in advance, peel your very ripe bananas. Place them in an airtight container or freezer bag and freeze until they are completely solid. This is key for the perfect creamy texture!
2. Slightly Thaw & Chop: When you're ready to whip up your treat, take the frozen bananas out of the freezer. Let them sit on your kitchen counter for about 15 minutes to soften just enough. Then, chop them into smaller, manageable pieces to make blending easier.
3. Blend to Creamy Perfection: Transfer the chopped bananas to the bowl of your food processor. Add the optional vanilla extract and sea salt. Process for about 3 to 5 minutes, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Continue blending until the bananas transform into a smooth, whipped, soft-serve-like consistency. If the mixture is too thick, let it thaw for another minute or two, or add a tiny splash of milk to help it blend, though it's creamiest with just banana!
4. Serve & Enjoy: Your delicious banana ice cream is ready! Enjoy it immediately for a wonderfully soft-serve experience. If you prefer a firmer, scoopable ice cream, transfer it to a freezer-safe container and freeze for an additional 30 minutes to 2 hours. Be careful not to freeze it for much longer, as it will become too hard and icy. This healthy treat is best enjoyed fresh on the day it's made!
