Servings: 2
Calories: 145kcal
Equipment
- Food processor
Ingredients
- 2 frozen bananas (peeled and chopped)
- 1 tablespoon plant-based milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
- If your bananas are not frozen yet, you will need to freeze them. I recommend peeling them first, then chop them and put them in the freezer.
- Place the frozen banana pieces into your food processor along with one tablespoon of plant-based milk and the maple syrup and vanilla extract if desired. Blend until smooth. If your food processor is struggling to get the bananas blended you can wait a few minutes for them to soften a bit, but don’t wait too long if you want soft-serve. If the bananas thaw too much the banana swirl will be thin and melted.
- Once the bananas are fully blended, eat immediately for a soft serve banana swirl. If you want it to be more firm, place it in a container in the freezer.
Notes
If you choose to put your banana nice cream in the freezer, it will be quite hard when it comes out. Just let it sit for a few minutes and it should be ready to eat.
Feel free to add other ingredients to your banana swirl. I sometimes add cacao powder for a bit of a chocolate taste, or some peanut butter or coconut flakes. I also like to top it with chocolate sauce or caramel sauce!
