Directions
- 1
Peel and slice the bananas into 2 cm rounds. Place them in a freezer bag with the strawberries and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight until completely solid.
- 2
Remove the frozen fruit from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften slightly — this protects your blender and makes mixing easier.
- 3
Add the frozen bananas, strawberries, powdered milk, and vanilla extract (if using) to a food processor or high-speed blender.
- 4
Blend on high, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed, until you reach a smooth, creamy, lump-free consistency.
- 5
Serve immediately for a soft-serve texture, or transfer to an airtight container and freeze for 30–60 minutes for firm, scoopable nice cream.
💡 Chef's Tip
The riper the bananas (look for dark-spotted ones), the sweeter and creamier the result. Keep a stash of sliced bananas in your freezer so you can whip this up anytime. Try swapping strawberries for raspberries, mango, or mixed berries for a new twist every time.
