Strawberry Banana Ice Cream with 2 ingredients and only 5 minutes! I scream you scream we all scream for easy ice cream. Let's make it!

It just happens to be dairy-free and you control the sweetness. No matter the weather we are always looking for delicious ice cream.

If you're looking for a few new dairy-free ice cream recipes, you might want to try my 3-ingredient chocolate peanut butter ice cream, this chocolate banana ice cream, and my pecan banana ice cream.

They require only a few simple ingredients and each one is completely dairy-free.

Soft serve strawberry banana ice cream

If you want soft serve ice cream, you can eat it right out of the blender. It will be soft and creamy at that point.

However, if you want ice cream that is more frozen, you can place it back in the freezer after processing the ingredients.

There are no preservatives in your ice cream, so it will freeze solid.

Simply remove from the freezer 10 minutes before serving to allow it to soften slightly. It freezes and keeps beautifully!

You can transfer to a freezer-safe container and allow the ice cream to firm up in the freezer for 2 to 3 hours.

Do you need an ice cream maker?
No, you don't need an ice cream maker to make this frozen banana ice cream. This is a simple recipe that you make with your blender or a food processor.

You simply slice up the frozen fruit and add it to a high power blender or a food processor until it becomes creamy and smooth. Then, you freeze the ice cream until it's solid.

If you do not have a high powered blender you may want to cut your bananas into slices and freeze them.

Strawberry banana ice cream variations
The bananas are key to the creamy ice-cream-like texture of this frozen dessert. So, they will need to be in each recipe.

There are many different types of flavor variations you can try. Here are a few suggestions you can try next time you make this.

• Blueberry and banana 
• Peach and banana
• Coconut milk with pineapple and banana
• Nutella and banana

You can see how this frozen banana ice cream has a world of possibilities.

Tips for making strawberry banana ice cream
This is a very simple recipe and it has always come out absolutely delicious every time I make it. But, here are a few tips you can follow to ensure your ice cream has the best possible flavor.

Always start with ripe bananas when you make this. If your bananas aren't ripe, the ice cream won't be sweet enough.

If you notice you have bananas that are ripening too fast for you to enjoy them, just peel them and put them in the freezer to use in the future.

That way when you start craving strawberry banana ice cream, you will have bananas that are already frozen.

Frozen banana ice cream is a wonderful way to use up fruit that is too ripe to eat as is.

If your berries are starting to look old, just put them in a freezer bag in the freezer to use in your next ice cream recipe. No one will be able to tell when the ice cream is finished.

What you will need to make this recipe

• Mixing Bowl - I like a variety of mixing bowls and prep bowls and this set has them all.
• Blender - You can use any blender, but I absolutely love this one! I use it for ice cream, smoothies, soups, my tomato sauce, and naturally this recipe.

Healthy banana ice cream
Unlike traditional ice cream that contains a lot of sugar and heavy cream, this ice cream is a healthy frozen treat. The sugar in this recipe is completely optional.

You can leave it out entirely if you prefer. Or, you can use your favorite sweetener whether that's stevia or honey instead.

It's a much better choice for anyone that is watching their calories or is lactose intolerant. Just keep in mind that bananas are high in sugar on their own.

Strawberry Banana Ice Cream

Strawberry Banana Ice Cream with 2 ingredients and only 5 minutes!

Prep time: 5 MinCook time: 0 Total time: 5 Min

Ingredients

• 4 large bananas, frozen
• 4 cups strawberries, frozen
• 2 tablespoons sugar, optional

Instructions

1. Place strawberries in a bowl or measuring cup. If your strawberries are not very sweet, sprinkle with sugar and toss to combine.  Place the bowl in the microwave at 30-second intervals until the strawberries soften slightly and the sugar dissolves in the juice (if used).
2. Add bananas and strawberry mixture to the blender and blend until they reach the perfect consistency.
3. When your ice cream stops moving in the blender, you will want to stop and scrape down the pitcher of the blender and stir a few times, about 2-3 minutes of total blending time.
4. Your frozen fruit may separate into tiny frozen chunks before it becomes a fabulous creamy consistency, so be patient.
5. Serve and enjoy! You can also transfer to a freezer-safe container and allow ice cream to firm up in the freezer for 2 to 3 hours.

DONNA'S NOTES

1. If you do not have a high powdered blender you may want to cut your bananas into slices and freeze them. 
2. There are no preservatives in your ice cream, so it will freeze solid.  Simply remove from the freezer 10 minutes before serving to allow to soften slightly. It freezes and keeps beautifully!
3. You can transfer to a freezer-safe container and allow ice cream to firm up in the freezer for 2 to 3 hours.
