Servings: servings

Equipment

1 food processor or high speed blender

Ingredients

Base:

3-4 ripe bananas peeled and sliced into 1-inch rounds, then frozen
milk (any kind) as needed

Cookies & Cream add-ins:

6-8 chocolate cookies I used Simple Mills Chocolate Sweet Thins
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Vanilla Bean add-ins:

1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or seeds from half a vanilla pod

Chocolate add-ins:

3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1-2 tablespoons maple syrup or 2 pitted medjool dates
2 tablespoons chocolate chips

Strawberry add-ins:

1/2 cup fresh or frozen strawberries

Peanut Butter add-ins:

3 tablespoons natural peanut butter
small pinch of salt

Instructions

Peel ripe bananas, slice into 1-inch rounds, and freeze in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet for at least 2 hours or overnight. Transfer to a zip-top bag once frozen.
Add frozen banana pieces to a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend on high, scraping down the sides as needed. Add milk 1 tablespoon at a time only if needed. Blend until completely silky and smooth - about 60–90 seconds.
Add your chosen flavor add-ins and pulse briefly to combine. Taste and adjust as desired.
Serve immediately for soft-serve, or transfer to a container and freeze for 1–2 hours for a scoopable texture. Let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping.
