Nice Cream (One-Ingredient)
Make Nice Cream with frozen bananas... and that's it! Soft serve texture like real ice cream, plus plenty of topping and flavor options.
Ingredients
- 6 ripe bananas peeled, sliced, and frozen (about 6 cups)
Optional Toppings
- Sprinkles
- Chopped nuts
- Caramel sauce
- Peanut butter
- Chocolate syrup
- Chocolate chips
- Ground cinnamon
Instructions
- BLEND BANANAS: Add 6 cups frozen banana chunks to a food processor or high-powered blender. Blend on high, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
- PROCESS UNTIL CREAMY: Continue blending for 2 to 3 minutes. The bananas will go from crumbly to smooth and creamy. Stop when the mixture looks like soft-serve ice cream.
- SERVE OR FREEZE: Serve immediately for a soft-serve texture, or transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 1 to 2 hours for a firmer scoopable texture.
- SERVE LATER: If frozen longer, let the nice cream sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before scooping.
- ADD TOPPINGS: Serve with your favorite toppings.

Notes
Make-Ahead: Freeze sliced bananas up to 1 month in advance so they are ready to blend anytime.
Storage: Store prepared nice cream in a freezer-safe container for up to 1 week.
Reheating: Not applicable. Let sit at room temperature to soften before serving.
Freezing Tip: Freeze banana slices in a single layer on a baking sheet before transferring to a bag. This prevents clumping and makes blending easier.
Ingredient Tip: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your nice cream will be.
