You’re gonna need frozen bananas to get the quick creamy ice cream effect. You will need a high-speed blender in order to handle the blending of frozen bananas. If you do not have one, a food processor could work as well. Don’t use an ordinary blender because it could break.
If you have never frozen bananas before, here is a quick guide on how to do so:
Wait a few days until the bananas are ripe enough (the more ripe they are, the sweeter the ice cream will become).
- Peel the bananas.
- Cut them in small pieces
- Place them into a freezer-safe container or bag.
- Place the container in the freezer overnight.
