　　Watching frozen bananas blend into ice cream seems like magic—no sugar or dairy required. For extra flavor, stir in (cooled) toasted chopped walnuts and dark chocolate chunks for a easy spin on Chunky Monkey ice cream.

　　

Ingredients

4 servings

　　4 large very ripe or frozen bananas

　　

Step 1

If using fresh bananas, peel, then arrange in a single layer on a large plate or parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Freeze until firm, at least 2 hours or up to overnight.

　　

Step 2

Purée frozen bananas in a food processor, scraping bowl as needed, until creamy, 6–8 minutes. Divide ice cream among serving bowls, or freeze in an airtight container at least 2 hours before scooping and serving.

　　

Do Ahead

Step 3

Bananas can be frozen up to 3 months ahead.
