1 Ingredient Banana Ice Cream
I was thinking about what would go well with this Homemade Chocolate Shell and then I thought of a recent episode of Daniel Tiger that I saw with my daughter where Daniel tries new food that he feels hesitation about 🙂
LOL, Please bear with me…Anyways, in the episode, they make “Banana Swirl” which is basically sliced, frozen bananas, processed in a food processor.
So simple, yet so amazing. The result is thick and creamy “ice cream.”
I say that with air quotes because there is no dairy in this recipe which makes my dairy-sensitive husband quite happy.
He can eat this 1 Ingredient Banana Ice Cream along with some Homemade Chocolate Shell and be happy as a clam.
When I made this recipe, Eric kept asking me, “This is just frozen bananas?”
He could not believe it!
I was like, “Yes, isn’t it amazing – the texture?”

1 Ingredient Banana Ice Cream
1 Ingredient Banana Ice Cream is a delicious, guilt-free, frozen, fruit treat to eat until your heart’s content! Check out all of June’s #FoodieMamas Frozen Treats recipes in the recipe round-up!
Ingredients
- 9-10 large, ripe bananas
- Optional: toppings like vanilla whipped cream, cherries, Homemade Chocolate Shell, Coconut Caramel Sauce, Easy Caramel (dulce de leche), sprinkles, nuts, etc.
Instructions
- Cut 9-10 ripe bananas into 1/2 inch round slices and put into a loaf pan, cover, and freeze overnight. Optional: You can put a piece of parchment paper under the bananas to ensure that you can get them out easier the next day.
- Take out frozen bananas and process in a food processor until creamy and smooth, scraping down sides if necessary. This may need to be done in batches depending on the size of your food processor. I can usually get everything processed in 2 batches with the size of my food processor. (Note: You can also use a blender (I have done in the past) if you do not have a food processor but it can be more difficult and you need to scrape down the sides more and do it in smaller batches.)
- Transfer processed frozen banana mixture back into loaf pan and spread evenly. Refreeze for later or enjoy right away with or without optional toppings. If you decide to freeze it for later, know that you will need it to sit for about 15 minutes to soften up before scooping. Enjoy!

YUM! I’ve always wanted to try this method with bananas. Gotta give it a whirl! Love all the FoodieMamas recipes this month. 🙂
Thank you Trish,it’s so easy to do and the customizations are endless!
My son loves banana ice cream! One of his favorite Daniel Tiger episodes is about making it 🙂 We’ve never turned it into such a delicious looking sundae though. On the to-do list for next weekend!
Hi Lucy, glad to hear there are more Daniel Tiger fans out there! This is a great activity to do with kiddos!
I’ve tried this 4 or 5 times to satisfy my 5yo. Nope I fail Everytime. It looks like a frozen frosty not ice cream and it always looks like brown mushy bananas. What am I doing wrong. I only have a blender but I do it on a pulsing speed very slowly. My 5yo loves the flavor though and especially after he covers it in chocolate syrup and sprinkles.
Do you put it back into the freezer to firm up? It won’t exactly be like ice cream but similar. It also will depend on how ripe the bananas you are using. It will be softer the more ripe the bananas you use.
