Banana 'Nice Cream" #shorts

If you want to make something special toppings and mix-ins can go a long way. Add your favorite ice cream toppings like sprinkles or chocolate sauce for a traditional take on soft serve. Fresh fruity toppings and fun combinations like peanut butter and jelly are new ways to enjoy soft serve with a twist. A cherry on top is the perfect addition to your new favorite soft serve.

The first thing you’ll want to do when turning a banana into ice cream is slice it. Use a sharp knife to slice the banana making sure to create slices that are roughly the same thickness. Once you have your slices place them in a single layer on a pan. You don’t need to leave a lot of space between the slices since they won’t expand in the freezer. However it’s better to leave a little space so that they’ll pop off more easily once they’re frozen. Make sure to freeze your bananas sliced rather than whole so that they’ll be quicker and easier to blend later.

Place them in the freezer for about 8 or 9 hours. To make it easy freeze them overnight. Once frozen remove the banana slices from the baking sheet and put them directly in the blender. You don’t need to add anything to get a similar texture and taste to soft serve. Just keep blending continuously until all the chunks are gone and you’ve reached the texture you want.
