Ingredients:

How to Make Banana Ice Cream:

1. Peel and chop up the ripe bananas into small pieces and place into a airtight container.
2. Place in the freezer for at least 2 hours until the pieces are solid. Recommend even placing the banana pieces into the freezer overnight for best results.
3. Once frozen, add the banana pieces into the food processor or blender. Pulse on high speed until the bananas are completely smooth. This can take 1-5 minutes depending on the power of the food processor or blender.
4. Once blended quickly pulse in the vanilla extract and salt into the creamy banana mixture.
5. Once combined, you can either eat it immediately or place the mixture back into an airtight container and place into the freezer until more solid.
6. Feel free to add option toppings and enjoy!
